I wrote about adding Google Adsense ads to your site in order to make money, that story is here.

Then I wrote about marketing tests to send people to splash pages in order to increase RSS subscriptions, multiple articles written under the Marketing Tests category.

Some of the traffic comes from individuals clicking advertisements, such as through Google ads, and some of the networks pay their users a portion of the click revenue to click through. Therefore I had purchased some traffic from such a site. As an example, I pay 2 cents per click and the person that clicks receives 1 cent. Now this traffic comes from their site to my site.

Once at my site the person is no longer paid and is not paid to do anything on my site, they only need to visit it. Google AdSense sent me an email stating that my traffic from these types of sites is unacceptable. I am confused since these individuals are not paid to click any advertisement or anything else on my site. None the less I have turned off the traffic.

The lesson learned is that there are certain sites Google Adsense bans as providing traffic to your site so be careful, you do not want to lose Google Adsense on your site.
