All traffic from one source

Dodgy or acceptable?

Hi

We have an ecommerce site running AdSense.
(The site is non-existent in SERPs)

100% of the traffic to this AdSense site comes from a high traffic page on our main informational site which redirects.

Is this a bad thing in Googles' eyes?

Could we lose our account for this? Its all genuine traffic and legit but I'm concerned that they might not like seeing all traffic from only 1 IP.

All thoughts welcome!
TIA

I don't see a problem where your traffic come from, so long as all your clicks aren't coming from the same IP.

I don't see how Google would be able to determine where your traffic came from. It's not like they will get an HTTP_REFERER because that would contain your page rather than the previous page wouldn't it?

Good point - If we were advertising our ecommerce/Adsense site offline, wouldn't this being the same thing as all visitors coming via 1 site?

my question would be, "why are you running adsense on an ecommerce site?"

Doesn't seem like it would give your customers a lot of confidence in your product?
