Seems no matter how many times traffic exchange owners warn members not to use pages that contain Adsense ads, it continues to happen. Soaring4Traffic even has a warning on your add “Websites” page.

So why do we tell you not to do this? Google will cancel your account if you do! Plain and simple, no maybe’s, just a matter of time before they do. If you value your account with Adsense you will either remove Google ads from your page or use other pages that do not contain Adsense ads.

When using a traffic exchange, the views of your website are generated from one IP address. Even though hundreds, maybe thousands of different people are seeing your page, it it still being generated from one local host. Other members of the same exchange.

Apparently Google views this as breaking their terms of service and will subject your account to cancellation.

My advice, DON’T do it. Check each page you enter in any traffic exchange for adsense ads. This should include blogs, articles, etc. Also if you are using a free web service to generate your pages, many times they will have adsense ads included as a way of generating income for themselves. Inform the web provider that you will be using the pages in traffic exchanges so as not to jeopardize their account.

It is solely your responsibility to follow Google Adsense terms. As a traffic exchange owner, have many times emailed members that their pages contain adsense ads. Have placed them on hold until they remove them, etc. It is impossible however to catch all of them with thousands of sites already in rotation and hundreds more being added daily.

Please check your pages for adsense ads before adding to any traffic exchange. Have fun surfing, knowing you are not in violation.
