Adsense and Rotating Banners, Legal?

I have setup in my site where the header has a random adsense and banner images showing.

Just need your advice if its not againts the Google TOS. A demo of it can be found at the link in my signature. When you refresh the page, it will show either the Adsense or the banner ads.

Thanks in advanced.

 

It's ok. You're only breaking the ToS if you are displaying other CONCEPTUAL ads on the same url as your adsense. You can always rotate (just watch out if you run several rotations).

*I never bothered to look on your page. So use common sense.

 

Thanks KingSEO, I'm just making it sure coz I have a doubt of it.

 

triphp - id suggest u to contact adsense to really make sure....kingseo could be right.... but it is always good to remove all the doubts....

 

I do not have Adsense yet, and being in this forum is my way of investigating if I should join.
It looks like Google is very interactive with the users, given the recommendation of asking them every time you have a question about your legal o illegal status. Are they this helpful or you mail them and they take ages?

 

Interactive? I wouldn't say that. They reply within days (usually), but their answers are sometimes very cryptic, and you can't always count on them knowing their own policies. Sometimes the answer you get from them varies depending on the experience or knowledge of the person who answered your question. Usually it takes 2 to 3 emails to get the answer you're looking for. People always recommends "ask Google" only because getting banned is worst than death to many publishers who have built their entire site just for Adsense and have no other source of revenue.

 

So basically you just e-mail google and hope for the best. If they take to long you come here to the forum.
Thank again Jack.

 

I dont see any complication in this case, as you dont modified the code, their target and behavior, they display as usual did it ??

 

I already sent an email to them as of cashboy's advice and I'm waiting for the reply.

There's no change on the code. Basically this is what I do:

<?php
$number=mt_rand(1, 2);
if ($number==1) 
{
    // rotating ads for the banner images
    // unlimited banners can go here
    include_once("ads/header/adrotate.php");
}
else
{
    // this page contains only the adsense code 
    // [UNMODIFIED ADSENSE CODE]
    include_once("ads/header/adsense.php");
}
?>

PHP:

 

Got already a reply from them and they said that publishers are permitted to rotate their AdSense code with other advertisements.

Just tell me if you want the script I'm using and I'll share it.

 

ah great. yes if you woud share the code then it can be useful to others

 

1. Download CJ Ad Rotator from http://www.cj-design.com/products/free_downloads/php_scripts/cjadrotator and just read the Read Me file of that script.
2. Put this code on the page where you want the Adsense or banner appear.

<?php
$number=mt_rand(1, 2);
if ($number==1) 
{
    include_once("path/to/cjadrotator/adrotate.php");
}
else
{
    include_once("path/to/adsense_file/adsense.php");
    // adsense.php contains only an adsense code
    /* you can just put your adsense code directly here
    but make sure you close the php code after the opening
    bracket and open it again before the closing bracket*/
}
?>

PHP:

 

is it working for static html page ??

 

oh sorry, look at at the code now.

 

I think you'll find the word is contextual

 

you can also use phpadsnew. its a good open source ad server.

 

it's too big script for a simple banner ads.

 

yeah, agreed

 

I just installed phpadsnew on my blog and I think it's a great tool But I have to learn and explore it more to get maximum result from it.

Have a great day and gud lak
