Im i allowed to advertise though google and use adsense?

[Christopher Roberts]

i was wondering can i advertise my site with adwords and make money with adsense with the same site? my plan was to first advertise with google then use adsense to monetize my site. i plan to advertise with facebook also.

You can definitely do this. You'll just have to set up two AdSense campaigns: one to advertise your site and the other to make advertising revenue.

You have to be very careful when doing this or Google will close down your AdSense account. Read the AdWords policies carefully and ensure you meet the "landing page quality" guidelines.

If you site is seen as"Made for Advertising" and you send people there using AdWords it will be see as arbitrage.

If you read the AdSense forum you will see they also seem to have a problem with traffic coming from Facebook, we suspect this is when a fair bit of a sites traffic come from that one source.

p.s. Arbitrage doesn't work. Its virtually impossible to make more money via clicks on your site if you are paying to get the visitors there. If your CTR is 2% then you will need to be getting 50 times more for the clicks on your site than you are paying for clicks on other sites, presumingly with similar key words... take into account the fact that Adsense takes its cut as well and you will see how difficult it is to get to work. If you are lucky enough to get some clicks for 1c then you will deed clicks on your site to pay about $1 just to break even
