Adsense & Widget Bucks on the same page?

    I was wondering if including Adsense and Widget Bucks on the same page is against Google's TOS?

    Basically you are not allowed to have other ads on the page that have the same look and feel as Google Adsense. I don't think it's the case for widgetbucks, but I haven't seen an official position about this. You could write the Adsense Team and ask, or maybe someone around here already did that.

    That's what I was thinking, the ads are a totally different style and cannot be mistaken for eachother.

    I have installed it on one of my sites and its a different colour to the adsense ads which have been blended to the colours of the site.

    It stands out like a 'sore thumb,' and just to make doubley sure I have added a horizontal rule above and below the widgetbucks ad.
