    I don't think the traffic is illegal but google might not like you advertising your adsense site on PTC sites. Google is also very strict when it comes to putting ads on sites that offer incentive to its users for clicking ads so there you have the answer :)

    It's not crap if all you want is random visitors to your non-Adsense using site. However, artificial traffic is explicitly against the Adsense program policies and results in invalid clicks:

    From the Adsense blog:
    It's better to spend your money on advertising, because visitors choose whether to click on the link to your site or not.
