I have seen people make thousands of dollars by sending push traffic to a blog article containing adsense banners. Infact we all have seen native+push spy tools filled with such blog articles.
But i have also seen adsense blocking people's account.
I have heard stories where people had made 30-40k(on adsense) and just a day before their payment, their adsense account got banned.
So, is it SAFE to send paid traffic to adsense ads?
What is the probability of getting banned?
And is there any other traffic source that's safer than push (for adsense arbitrage)?
You don't know if it's safe... Google can be crazy as you know. We have people that are buying push on our platform to mix their traffic. So if you can combine it with traffic from Google Search you know you are much more safe! But if you combine it with only traffic from social than you are more in a risk area. It also depends on the quality of the traffic you buy ofcourse.
It's a tricky game. Technically, google doesn't mind that you send paid traffic to your legit sites, but they don't allow certain types of traffic types to be used. For example you cannot send POP traffic to a site/page monetized with adsense. On top of that, they don't like to see a high % of BOTs or generally low quality traffic. And to make it more complicated, the actual site/page with adsense Ads must meet google quality guidelines.
So as long as you build a site just for the sake of arbitraging push or similar clicks, you're at solid danger of getting TOSed.
As noviclick mentioned, the risk greatly decreases in case of mixed traffic types... so some organic search, some social, some native... then a reasonable % of cheaper clicks from PUSH sources should hurt too much. And sending this to an actually decent quality website with adsense ads improves your chances of not getting banned further. Obviously, the more complex the site is and the more "natural" the ad placements are, the lower the AD ctrs will be. It's about finding the balance and arbitraging adsense is always like walking on thin ice.
hi there,
jus sharing my 2 cents
i did adsense arbitrage before
the risk of the google account getting banned is definitely real
had a friend who had multiple adsense accounts banned and lost quite abit.
this is despite spreading them across few accounts under different IP address and information
low quality traffic is a risk too, most would use fb or taboola at most to be safe.
imagine you have 5 figures revenue on hold till the end of next month each time
and in between ure concerned whether ure gonna get disabled suddenly
