LinkShare + CJ + Adsense.. is this okay?

    Hello

    I'm putting together a site that 'hopefully' will include products from LinkShare and CJ merchants. I was also planning on having AdSense on the site. Can this be done? Would CJ have a problem with LinkShare merchant products on the same site and vice versa? Also, it was brought to my attention that you might not be allowed to have AdSense on pages with affiliate Ads (this seems to be incorrect to me, so would like to fully understand this). I submitted that AdSense question to the AdSense subforum, but please let me know if you have anything to add.

    AdSense question:

    This is the original thread that started it all on CJ subforum:

    I apologize if it is inappropriate to post this again, but wanted to hit a broader audience, not just the CJ subforum.

    Thanks much!

    you can use affiliate links, just not use 2 contextual networks on the same page :)

    CJ and linkshare do not deliver contextual ads, so there is no problem as far as Google TOS is concerned. Cluttering your site with ads is another matter you have to consider.

    I don't think your allowed to have auto-relevent amazon.com links also on the same page as adsense, only static products, so be careful. It's best to ask them to be honest, they usually give you a straight answer one way or the other.

    I guess my main question.. is not related to CJ affiliate + adsense exactly, but eBay's editor kit + adsense. I don't think this falls under contextual, since it's based off my search criteria and category vs what I have in my web page content.

    I found this relevant thread at Google Groups

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    if you start showing too many ads, your traffic may go down.

    Don't scare them.

    Thanks

    Hello

    Thanks for the advice. My site is only showing one block of adsense and the eBay editor kit. I'm just thinking about what's 'ok' to do. Adsense + Ebay = okay? And or LinkShare + CJ + adsense = okay? I'm thinking of having text products displayed in the future.. and products exist in CJ and LinkShare. But I'm very concerned about violating any TOS.

    Thanks again.

    I think you can also contact Adsense team directly asking if it ok
