Hello, I have a question, I couldn't find the answer by using the search option. My question is: Does Google Adsense allows you to redirect someone from one page to another by using a java script OR meta refresh ?? Example: I send visitors to my homepage, homepage.com ( Does not contain ADS ), than they automaticly get directed to another page, homepage.com/page2 . ( Page2, does contain ADS ). Is this allowed or not ? Please let me know.
The best way to do it would be to use a 301 redirect so it passes your link juice over to your other page. http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php I'd recommend doing it with PHP. Of course new-url.com would be your url.
Can you please answer this question for me aswell: Where do I have to place this redirect code ? ( In which file ? ) And is it possible to link to more than one page ? ( Like 5 different links, and the code randomly chooses one every single time ? ) Please help me out !
I'm sorry, forget about my previous post. If I use this code: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="3; url=http://www.yourdomainhere.com/page2"> If I redirect people to a different page by using the code I placed above, is that Adsense Safe ? Or will is it against Adsense to redirect by using a META refresh. Please some one, help me out
You're question was actually already answered in the previous replies. But here it is again for you. No, doing a redirect is not against the Adsense T.O.S. Having said that though, it also depends on why you're doing the redirect. If you're trying to use the redirect to clean up the traffic from porn sources, or some kind of blackhat traffic generation methods, then that might be considered a T.O.S. violation. (You're not necessarily going to get caught for that, but if you do then it could definitely be a problem.) If the page you're redirecting is an appropriate site, and your redirection is simply to move the traffic you're getting from backlinks to one of your other sites then it isn't a problem at all. The best way of course would be to simply set up a 301 redirect in your htaccess file, but if there's a reason you want them to still see the page on you're old site and then redirect after a few moments then the meta refresh is still acceptable. So basically... If your using the redirect in an attempt to use the other website to generate traffic in ways that violate the TOS, and then send that as cleaned up traffic to your actual adsense site then you're still violating the TOS. If you're not violating the TOS about anything you're doing on the other site then it isn't a violation to redirect the traffic from that site to your main site. The redirect itself doesn't violate the rules. So, as long as you're not doing it to circumvent any other rules then it isn't a problem.
Speaking of redirection I did an experiment today for daddydot.com Easiest one ever. The new control panel at HOSTNHUB allows DNS change fast and you do not have to update A and C records. All automatic now. Trying out a Google parked page. Swamped with coding all the sites I have now. They need a lot of work. If you do a url redirection I would not mask it. The search engines can not see masked domains I have found. A lot harder to get any exposure. Also combine your www site and naked domain for better seo. They show as 2 different sites on the net if not optimized..
