    Hi guys,

    Another question from a small time webmaster here. Can I drive traffic to my Adsense blogspot with Adwords ads? Of course, my blog is full of content.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the answer, lifeplayer. But why do I hear a lot of people got banned by google for this?

    I was going to ask how do you do this until you said you can get banned. But after thinking about it I still want to know :p

    Google is trying to prevent arbitrage like you have described. In theory it's OK if your site is not just "Made For Adsense" with little original content, but in practice it can mean that your site gets a poor Quality Score, making the ads more expensive than the payout from Adsense would be. In other words, you'd lose money.

    Ah yes, the arbitrage thing. Dang.

    But I don't mind about any quality score though. Poor or no poor, as long as google don't ban me, I'll go for it. :)

    Thanks, Nonny. Love you.

    Thanks for all the advice Nonny, you've shown me a few things I didn't know. How do people go about rating your site though?
