Hey guys, do you recommend using AdWords to promote websites with only Google AdSense on it? Is this allowed and how can you make sure to make a decent revenue with it? Any hints? Thank you!
Its not recommended, its referred to as arbitrage, its suggested not to do it. Not 100% on this but i think one way google combat it is to outprice you from benefitting from it. I think its an old practice now isn't it? some people made good money while they were able to by doing it.
I wouldnt recommend it. About a year and a half ago, there was a big crack down on it and many many people lost their adsense account. Chuck
No, I would definitely not recommend it. It is one of those ideas that people are creative on, and it makes sense, but Google seems to discourage it greatly. I think you would lose money anyway.
If you have great quality content on a superb quality website it would be ok. As long as Google sees that you are (honestly) not going for adsense clicks you should be ok. The only way to ensure that is by not being 'bold' in where you have your ads. They need to be inconspicuous and like the 10th thing that people would see on your site - for example. Of course if you do that, it is extremely unlikely that it will be profitable. Test and see but make sure you have some ability to get a new account if they see your intent.
If your site is just AdSense ads, that would be against Google rules, and you run a high risk of being removed.
I have seen many people doing this but now it is no more possible. Those who were making some money from it got there adsense accounts suspended. Even at that time, it was risky and required expertise in handling adsense site and adword account every day.
If you have adsense on your landing pages that your sending traffic to from adwords, your quality score will suffer and your bid cost will be through the roof unless you cloak your adsense which I wouldn't recommend if you want to keep your adsense account.
I think there would be more money to be made if you use adwords to drive traffic to a relevant website which contained both adsense and affiliate links affiliate links generally pay alot more than adsense However you need to ensure that the site is a genuine site with some good content
