Dear AdSense Legends, I would like to know, what this website is all about? www.easyhits4u.com. They are providing traffic to our site in 1:1 ratio. We can have traffic to our site if we join this site. I am aware that, Auto Surfing is against TOS. But am not sure if this easyhits4u.com is an Autosurf Concept. Just in case if i join this site, with the intention to drive traffic to my personal site, will my adsense account gets deactivated? Regards, Raju.
what if someone wanna set me up and just keep clicking ads on my page? If this will definitely close my account, then google must try some ways to avoid this. Otherwise how vulnerable our accounts are!! You can have done quite well but someone can just get your account boomed with just clicks...
Yep, you're absolutely right. AdSense is a risky business - don't rely on it for paying your mortgage arrears.
hmm.. technology is yet to improve so that somehow this kind of easy-risky situation can be avoided. Just wonder, which ever company get this new technology invented would easily grab the market.. as most publishers would just go over to them, and as products are at their side, so will consumers. just fantasy wonder, probably google is trying hard on this issue.
hes talking about how in general how if someone wanted him banned from google, they can do it in a snap.
Looked to me like he was talking about auto-surf sites in particular (and whether or not joining it would get him banned) The answer given is quite appropriate.
I do not know anything about this site but I did go and read the rules. It sounds a lot like Stumble Upon. I checked with Google about Stumble Upon and they said it was perfectly with-in the TOS because it is not a auto surf program. I would write Google and ask before doing it but sounds like it might be ok. Always best to ask first.
1:1 ratio means you get one view to your site for every view you make of someone else's site. This is paid-to-surf which is not allowed. Stumble Upon (correct me if I'm wrong) does not use the concept of "I view a page so someone will view my page"
I guess I don't agree but that is why I told him to ask first. It is the best way for him to know instead of us guessing at it. I seen a thread a while back saying stumble broke Google's TOS and that was not true so it is always worth asking before doing it, don't you agree?
Definitely agree, I hope the OP does ask and post the response here. I just checked out the site myself and I'd be willing to place very good odds that the answer from Google will be a resounding NO. This is no different than trafficswarm or any number of other sites, some of which have specifically been mentioned on here as reasons why people have gotten some discouraging email from Google about their account.
You may be right but Google is a guessing game because I have been wrong more than once. I would not use the website either way because it is just a even exchange so I don't think you will get much but quick stops so they can earn an exchange. I like stumble because with an exchange, you get your site out there for others to see not just the person who exchanges with you. That's why I started my stumble blog. I will be checki g in to see if he gets an answer.
