Adsense + Amazon Self-Optimizing Links

    Im currently working on adding some affiliate links to my websites and have discovered Amazons Self-Optimizing ads, my only worry is that if coupled with adsense it could be against the Adsense TOS.

    The Amazon links are contextual but they are PPS ads rather than Chikita etc, so im thinking its more of a grey area.

    Does any here use Amazon SEL along with Adsense, or have been given an official answer from google on the matter?

    You can place them on separate pages? first to see which gives you more? and decide further on which one to implement?:eek:

    Of course, asking Google is the best way to know if it's allowed or not.

    I think they're incompatible. According to the Terms Of Service, you cannot use any other contextual advertising program, so I guess that only Amazon static links can coexist in the same page with Adsense ads.

    But of course, I could be wrong. Please, tell us Google's response. Thanks.

    As far as I know, Amazon is compatible with adsense since they do no deliver contextual advertising, unless you are using features delivering the products that way.

    As DP member posted already, the best way to find it out is getting in touch with Google.
