Does G care if you put adsense on a page promoted via PPV? I know they don't want adsense on pages promoted in traffic exchanges and that kind of crap.

Don't think they could tell you were doing it unless they did a manual investigation or something, but just curious...
 


Google doesn't like fraud, period. Other than that, will you let us know?
 
They could tell easy, ppv traffic... a lot of click happy users... looking for FREE stuff...
1000's of clicks and no one buying.... ya they will be able to tell....

Remember how they are in the ppv network, always check terms of service .... if they take this type of traffic.
Forget about doing this with adCENTS.
 
speaking of manual investigation....

..got a call from a supposed google "places" rep..he sounded like he could be from india.

asked me if I could verify my website, I hesitated for a second because I have 4 different listings in google places for this one client of mine.

He kept repeating "please verify your website"...each listing I have in g places has a different phone number so I was trying to remember what website he was looking at in g places that had my phone number on it.

I stalled time while i ran to my computer and then gave him my website. he didnt even acknowledge my reply and hung up imediatley..what a douche

if it was really google, then I wouldnt be so daring if its your main source of income.
 
PPV is fraudulent traffic? That's a new one to me ...



You obviously have no experience with PPV traffic lol

No PPV isn't fraud, but you're better of building an email list and sending them from there. PPV is considered interrupt marketing, not sure if that goes against google TOS. You could build a lander to your adsense ads, and I think that would be fine? Maybe you should do this, ask someone that can give you a solid answer or has been banned from doing it in the past.
 
You Said: You obviously have no experience with PPV traffic lol

If you think the traffic is as good as search... you would know its not.. google doesnt want this traffic going to adCENTS, it wants search.

I know ppv can convert, but not like the traffic google wants for it clients.
 
Don't think they could tell you were doing it unless they did a manual investigation or something, but just curious...

A lot of the adware modifies the user-agent string sent by the browser. So they would be able to tell via a relatively high percentage of adware user-agents.
 
Google is more smarter than we can imagine, even people getting their adsense banned when they were exchanging or asking their friends to checkout website and click on ad. i had experience this 2 year ago when lots of teenagers joining yahoo group chat and multiple message to their yahoo friends to click or checkout website and after several time period every-bodies adsense account got banned Lol. & you are talking about PPV campaign without any doubt you will get banned once adsense team trace up you and you will loose both fair income and the income you earned via PPV.
 
Lol dude you're going to get banned, any paid traffic to a adsense site is just a no no. This isn't 2005.

Fuck it's not that hard for Google, we do ad buys on the display network and here is how it works:

1. We place our conversion code on our pages (duh)!
2. We track conversions.
3. We see a lot of clicks with no conversions from a web site, we exclude the website.
4. Gee maybe, let's take a wild guess, if a web site starts getting banned by a long list of adsense advertisers, then the whole adsense publisher account get reviewed. And I'm sure velocity of the exclusion placement is taken into account as well.

Again, if you guys start to think of Google as an intelligent broker with a collection of reasonably intelligent clients on the other side, then it's easy to come up with right answers.

Take for example, PPV: Okay, the guy is driving a lot of traffic to his site. Well if I am selling blue widgets and there is blue widget copy in the content of the web site so my ad is placed there, AND the PPV ads attract people who are really interested in blue widgets, then you may have a winning combination.

BUT if you are really PPV ads with red dohickeys, then you may have a problem. And if you are running PPV with pictures of hot naked chicks and there is no sign of blue widgets anywhere, then you WILL have a problem.

To summarize the adsense advertiser (read: Google) doesn't give a fuck where the traffic is coming from, he just cares about the quality of the traffic.
