A little confused on mixing adwords and AdSense

[mrizos]

I have a legit site with real content that I would like to promote with Google Adwords. The site also has Adsense on it as well.

Does promoting a site with Adwords violate my Adsense TOS if the landing page (or other pages) has Adsense blocks?

The site is virusinfection.info

No it doesn't violate Adsense TOS

Ok, thanks very much.

mrizos, I just checked on the adwords/adsense TOS and you should be fine. You can run an adwords campaign to your site with adsense.

Thanks Varon, I re-read it again as well.

I emailed them some time ago to get it in writing - they won't do it - at least not for me. They sent some cut and paste response that does everything but answer the question in clear, plain and easy to understand English.

Same goes for when I asked if I can use adbright or bidvertiser to send traffic to a website with adsense on it. The response was no answer it all - it said don't commit click fraud! LOL

But yes, you will be fine.

LOL..... Understandably their answering bot has standard replies to send across. It just reads the keywords on your mail and first answers with a few links to go to and read additional google guidelines. Its only when you mail them a second time, that an actual human answers with the always vague replies. I was once frustrated and sent them an email asking if click fraud was okay.... lol..that was the only time a human answered quickly. Sweet!

They are the only billion dollar company I know that goes out of their way to hide contacts from their users. Look over your adsense account or analytics accounts and they make finding a contact link next to impossible - mailing address or phone number - forget about it! LOL

And yeah - these automated responses are such a waste of time. But when you are the King you answer to nobody.

Lets take it a bit further. What about using adwords to promote some whypark sites?

Any opinions here?

I don't see any problem with that, but its better to shoot an email to the google adsense bot team. The first response will be from an automated bot with a few links to read more guidelines. After that first automated email, dash them another one and then a human should reply to you. Be sure to keep a copy of that email, because their terms and guidelines change ... like the weather.

Thanks Varon, good advice.
