Adsense from 2 accounts on one page...

    I use a free forum on proboards.
    Obviously, proboards has their google ad the top which is fine.

    But I just realised today I can also put my own adsense in the header section.

    That makes ads from 2 different accounts on the same page.:eek:
    Is this allowed?
    I don't recall anything on the TOS about this..?

    You can take a look at the site at:
    http://www.spurstalk.proboards40.com

    (The ad above is theirs, the one below it is mine)

    Any thoughts? Advise?

    I am not sure about this either, I doubt this will be allowed. I believe you can havce ads in rotation like DP does, but not two different showing their ads on the same page at the same time.

    It is against the t&c of Google adsense.

    Dude, you have gotta read the TOS more carefully if you don't "recall" this being in it. You can only have one publisher ID show up per page. Two is a no-no.

    QUESTIONS.

    Does each site have to be seperately submitted to google?

    I have several sites.

    Can I use material from sites without adsense onto sites with adsense?

    OK. Reteep is right. It is stated clearly in the T&C page.
    I had looked through the policies page and nothing about this was in there.
    Thanks guys.
    I have removed my ad.

    It is different answer from support team, but the TOS state clearly that 2 id not allow.

    Like my question to Google about ads in IFRAME. They says no to me.

    so they will have the records what you ask them, i think.

    The only way you can do this is to remove the proboards ad. I don't know about them but I assume they give you the forum FREE in return for being able to display their ads.

    Perhaps you can upgrade to a paid version that does NOT show their ads and then you can place your own.

    If you really do have have an answer from Google that says it is fine I would do two things.

    1. Ask again - make sure you are making the situation VERY clear. I have a feeling that you may not have made the situation clear to them initially as this is not allowed under normal circumstances. Two advertisers on a SITE is fine - but not on the same page.

    2. Keep the email you have saying its OK incase you need to show them.

    Its neither a news nor a no no..

    google TOS says -

    You shall not display any Ad Unit on a page that contains Ads associated with another Google AdSense customer (e.g., Your Web hosting company), unless authorized to do so by Google.

    You only need to ask Google. I and My partner run a site where we are using 2 different pub-ids (one ours and one from contributors) for 6-7 months now...

    Well technically speaking, it's a no-no until they tell you it's okay, but before that you can't do it without their specific permission. But I stand corrected on the other thing.

    I still think that you may have different answer from different person.

    and there are records for every email.
