Hello I have a Domain which brings in traffic but was banned a few months ago in Adsense before I bought it, I wish to direct this domain to another site in MY Adsense to use traffic and increase earnings on another site. Is this against Tos? Thank you.
NO, It is not against the TOS. Only Placing ads causes the violation of adsense but you are redirect the website.. It is OK.
Not really cheating, I'm not banned from adsense however the site I bought it, I'm just using the domain to direct traffic to my own site which has adsense on it...
cheating in the sense that the domain has been banned from displaying ads. So if the other site doesn't have the same content, ok it's not cheating. But some people have asked on DP if they can just copy their content on another domain and do a redirect, in that case it is cheating and I wouldn't do it.
Depends on the reason that domain get banned. If it was banned for invalid click related reason then you can mail Google saying you are the new owner of the domain and ask them to unban it. they might accept it. But if this domain was banned for traffic related reason then redirecting it's traffic to your site can be risky.
Apparently It was banned because of content from previous owner, the other site is not exactly the same but similar, video site. I wouldn't copy the content, just using the traffic from the domain only. Thanks
