Is this against Adsense's TOS?

    Let's say DigitalPoint.com is my main website that gets the most traffic.
    If I wanted to build a second website, for example, DigitalPointJR.com, am I allowed to have my main website (DigitalPoint.com) being forwarded to my new website?

    What is the reason for doing this you ask?

    Well, it's good to know if the clicks on my new site will be profitable.

    I'm a bit lazy to wait for traffic to build up on the second website, so this is in my opinion the best way to gain clicks on it to see if the ads are good, that is if it's not against the Google TOS.

    Nothing wrong with that, I do not see it against the TOS.

    Thanks for your reply :)

    I'll continue to wait for more responses just to make sure before I do this hehe.


    Edit: Hmmm. Your post count is pretty high so you're pretty credible, so I think I'll go ahead and try it now ^_^

    It's ok but I don't think you can then link the second site to the first site, not sure though

    According to wisdomtool, it's not.

    You probably can't do the following though:

    Site 1 (Main traffic site) forwards to site 2.

    Site 2 acts as a keyword test front page and on that front page you have an "Enter" button that links back to the main index.php page of site 1.

    I have such a site for more than 8 months. So I guess it is OK
