Adsense Link Unit vs. Ad Unit

    I read in the TOS some time ago that you could only have up to 3 Ad units on a page (and 1 Link Unit on the same page). Is this correct? I can't seem to find the link again.

    Anyway, I was just wondering what people here think about Link Units. If you have a menu on your page do Link Units confuse the user?

    Hi,

    You can have 3 adsense content,3 link units,2 search boxes,1 video from google in a single web page.And placing link unit under menu has lot of probability for getting clicked as many say.I think your visitors dont get panic with this. but its upto you.If you feel so then keep that somewhere else you like.

    Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page.
    A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.
    Up to three link units may also be placed on each page.
    Up to three referral units may be displayed on a page, in addition to the ad units, search boxes, and link units specified above.
    AdSense for search results pages may show only a single ad link unit in addition to the ads Google serves with the search results. No other ads may be displayed on your search results page.
    No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed in a pop-up, pop-under, or in an email.
    Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads.
    No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.
    No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.

    Project Mobius,

    Does this new discovery mean that you will be adding more Adsense to your pages? LOL.
