from AdSense home Page.

Does this mean Google do not want publishers to advertise their website through AdWords in order to get traffic?

If that was true, wouldn't they say so, and not just take a link off a page?

And, in fact, I just went to look, and they've got a link to "Publisher Tools" which features AdWords, among other things.
