I came across the following sites sometime back: www.traffic24x7.com and www.unique-traffic.com (No affiliation to those sites!) These offer redirected traffic. Is redirected traffic okay for sites running adsense? These sites claim that traffic comes from links/redirection from freshly expired domains. For example see http://www.limks.com/ This site contains nothing but links. If visitors visit this site searching for sites on links or link sale/buy or link exchange and click on some of the sites there, the websites listed there definitely get visitors with a proper purpose. If the sites have adsense or ypn ads or some other ppc ads running, they may as well get truely clicked. Another better example is www.essay.com. The links on this site point genuinely towards sites that have something to do with essay writing services. The sites listed there are getting visitors with a true purpose. Is such traffic ok for adsense? If anybody has tried and tested these services or any other related services please post your experinces here.
Many such sites are frauds. Most of the clicks are fake clicks generated by software like FakeZilla. Better not waste your money. I had once paid $200 for 10,000 so called targetted clicks and not a single conversion took place. And I am sure Google adsense algorithm should be clever to identify such fake clicks.
Yes you definetly want to be careful with that kind of stuff... I am not familiar with the actual wording, but the AdSense TOS says something about such traffic sources being against their TOS. Wow, that didn't come out as smooth as I had intended, but I think you get the point.
I don't recommend it. a) I don't think it converts much at all and b) AdSense TOS issues. I'd rather have much less traffic that was targeted precisely. It makes the $$$ come in better that way! Best Eric
