Displaying adsense with other contextual ads

angle · 03-03-2007

This is a statement from Google:

"AdSense publishers may display ads from other contextual ad networks on the same page as Google ads only if the formatting or color scheme of these ads is sufficiently different from the layout of the Google ads."

hmm....I have BOth Kontera and Adsense on my bog...no problems or warning recieved as of yet!!

but this raised another concern.

Since many ppl are using clickbank affiliate ads (such as clickban buddy, clickadspro, cbprosense, etc.) that mimics the look of adsense. It seems that even though these ads are not contextual based, but keyword based, they will not be allowed to put on the same page along with adsense ads.

I've already removed all these clickbank ads since they looked very similar to adsense ads.

So, the question is, if the ads that are NOT contextual but look similar to adsense ads, is it allowed?

swapnil90 · 03-03-2007

no ... pls see the adsense FAQ / Guidelines....u cant place any ads that look like adsense...

colintsui · 03-03-2007

yes, thats why I raised this question. As those "adsense clickbank" scripts are purposely mimicking Adsense and telling you "you can put these ads along with adsense on the same page, provided that your ads are keyword targeted." are actually putting you at risk, so think twice... I used to use clickadspro but I decided to remove all clickadspro ads on my site because of this reason

My friend recently put a BidVertiser ad that looked very similar to the Adsense ad...he was banned in 2 dayz...these Google guys are pretty smart !!

yeah, Google is very strict, its very hard for you friend to get back the account... try to send them an email and telling them the competing ad has already been removed, be polite...
