Say No to Traffic Exchange if You Use Adsense
If you are a newbie then you might be using some traffic exchange programs to get initial traffic. But remember not to use Adsense in your site then. It is against Google Adsense TOS:
Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to repeated manual clicks or impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software. Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited. Failure to comply with this policy may lead to your account being disabled.
Doesn’t it say all? Traffic exchange programs can easily be used to increase impressions artificially. Obviously Adsense will try to block this. If they find anything unusual like too much traffic or too many clicks from the same ip, they manually check the stats & sites in your account. They are very strict in it. Remember this if you don’t want to get the termination email.
