    Is it true it is in the tos where you cannot purchase traffic for adsense sites? so what about PPC does it mean you can't run PPC campaigns for your site? What bout buying traffic from dp? Do they actually care?

    I think you can do Online Campaigning as long as it comply with Google Landing Page Guidelines.

    The problem is bad traffic can get your adsense account terminated with no other reason than "your account was found to pose a threat to our advertizers". As for traffic coming from adwords, your target site needs to be viewed as not doing ARBITRAGE which was a lucrative practise in the past but has been penalized a lot by google at some point.

    Paid traffic is not good for AdSense sites. Purchasing makes sense when you are selling products/affiliate marketing.

    ok thanks everyone, I'll keep it in mind. I'm wondering is traffic from expired domain bad traffic? While my site is sort of a affliate/CPA marketing with a bit of adsense on it for residue income but it isn't making much money or much traffic so thats why I wanted to get some traffic maybe someone will purchase something or fill out a form.
