    Hello,

    I want to promote my forum with adwords, but the forum has one google adsense ad on the top, is it safe to use this as landing page for the adword?
    I searched on it, but confused as i got many variable replies, did not get any professional reply.

    I am new to adwords, just getting started, let me hear a reply from you.

    hello,,

    I would call it scams / phishing via advertisements - scadding. Is Google really willing to get payed by criminals to promote their illegal activity at serious information sources?

    I have a friend who used it this way for his forum and it worked!
    I also come across numerous websites that put go for adwords and put adsense in their landing pages.
    There's no serious threat unless you encourage people to click on ads.

    Also, as yours has some content and information getting posted and updated unlike a static html, IMHO you can advertise through adwords.

    yeah, there is nothing to encourage people to click. The landing page is just a webmaster forum's index page, which just have a leaderboard ad.

    long as mentioned above you dont enchorage people to click on the ad then it should be fine afterall its google traffic. I would go with facebook though much cheaper and more targeted and active. PPC getting out rageous even for forum.
