I know that you cannot place relavant text ads that are consider competitor together with adsense in a page. Does amazon text links included on this prohibition?
I would guess not. Because with Amazon you have to provide the keywords, G tries to find them out for you automatically. So the Amazon ones are as relevant as you want them to be whereas G's ads are as relevant as their industry leading technology can get them to be. So IMO these ads are not competing. I think that direct competition on-page is what the T's & C's are trying to avoid. But why not ask G?
You should ask G. I did ask them about putting some direct response coupons on my page along with adsense ads and they said ... no ... no. I think what matters is the look and feel of those text ads. Embedded in the text in a natural sentence is most likely okay but in a block to emulate adsense would be a no - no.
Will, It's an affiliate program. Direct Response runs its. Here is a sample of some coupons from the Direct Response program. http://www.directresponse.com/info/publishers/couponads.html I was hoping to use some coupons & adsense where its makes sense.
They already answered my query: It is not yet clear to me thats why I replied and ask to review my page
