    Hi guys,

    I have been thinking about using google adwords to bring in trafffic to my weaker sites, which also have Adsense ads on them - IS THIS ALLOWED?

    also how do i ensure this is profitable...any key things to look for and where?

    OR SHOULD I USE SOME OTHER PPC LIKE YAHOO??

    please help...

    It is allowed.
    However - google doesn't like arbitrage - using adwords to send visitors to a 'Made For Adsense' site; but if the site has a reasonable amount of content and/or a 'function' other than the ads, it shouldn't be a problem.

    As of July 2007 (or around there) Google does not allow you to send traffic to AdSense pages, but in 99% of the cases, the minimum bid is $10... so good luck with a profit

    Yahoo will allow in some cases to send to MFA (made for adsense) sites, but not all will go. Your best bet is to try other means of traffic, like pops, contextual ads or even a radio ad :D

    there a lot to learn about making money with adsense, i dont thikn your going to get a clear cut 2 minute answer here, it will take a lot of reading
