hi guys!Just a little problem:
I subscribed on a trafficexchange site,which is easyhitsforyou.
That actually brings 10-15 visitors per day to my site..and of course they never click on my ads(bidvertiser\adsense)
Do you think google will ban me?

Hi Gotti,

I have a feeling that Google would have a problem with that, but I am not really sure how the traffic exchange program works exactly.

Is there any incentive/reward for anyone to simply visit your site? Google would definitely have a problem if someone has an incentive to visit your site (even if the site visitor does not have an incentive to click on your Adsense ads).

It may be worth it to contact Google and ask them... it would be sad to get banned from Google because of something like that... especially when it doesn't seem like this traffic exchange website is working all that well.

sorry... but I wanted to make another point:

When ranking pages, Google takes into consideration the quality of the traffic... so 1000 hits to your website from people who have an incentive to visit your site is far less valuable in Google's eyes than 100 hits coming from blogs, ezinearticles, other people quoting/referencing your site, etc.

So that's something to think about when evaluating whether the traffic exchange program is useful for your purposes.

Don't risk your Adsense account.

Traffic exchanges are a waste of time and bandwidth. It is against Adsense TOS.

mmm...i gathered less than 300 credits on that site(1 credit means 1 visit) and i can't give them back...but personally i don't think that 10 visits per day might do any harm..i mean...i'm not sending 2000visits per day with bux.to or similar sites....and of course i'm not telling them to click on my ads( they don't do it anyway) i'm wondering what lisa would say about it.....................!

I try to avoid link exchanges. Usually those that visit aren't there because of your content, and definitely won't click on your adsense.

Just keep adding content and you will get more targetted visitors that may click on your adsense.
