I currently have google adsense revenue sharing on my forum. (which no one on my forum is utilizing right now). I also have my bidvertiser ads showing on those pages where the google ads show. Is it ok to have google adsense and bidvertiser ads on the same page or is that against google's ToS? I don't want my forum users to have their adsense account's banned because of something I did...
Hi Yes yes its okay. So many posts about such question. One needs to PIN a topic dedicated to this question. Since October 2007, Google changed their TOC. I have been displaying adbrite/adsense/bidvertiser/kontera/Cpxinteractive on my site which gets 500,000 to 1million impressions (based on what goes on in the world). The ads are strategically placed and blended with the site. It is not interfering with user experience, quite streamlined. Adsense is the best. Kontera is the next best thing. bidvertiser steals your clicks and payment. I am getting rid of them soon. Cpx interactive is decent... makes close to $10/day. I have recently included AZOOGLE affiliate network and display ads relevant to each page on my site. I am very new to it but its converting. The only problem being that its GEO SPECIFIC. I get users from all over the world. Most of azoogle is US based. So those clicking from europe go to a DOWNLOAD SMILEY PAGE. But if someone from US clicks and generates a lead I get $10-20 per lead.
Most things are ok with Adsense as long as it's clearly distinguishable. Need to look into that AZOOGLE...
It's OK as far as the BidVertiser ad units don't look exactly like the AdSense units. I found it impossible to earn any serious amount of cash with BidVertiser however.
The adsense ads only display after the first post in threads. That was the only way I could get the revenue sharing code to work. Yes I have adbrite ads, with bidvertiser ads as backup if under the eCPM amount of 0.05.
I agree with the answers of most of you. Yes, its OK as long its distinguieshed. Though on the following blog Post http://www.itcomparison.com/blg/advertising/can-i-place-google-ads-on-the-same-page-with-third-party-ads.html it has been explained in details and they had quoted Adsense answer through out their explanation. Their answer seems quite convincing & quite simplified. I hope that help. VMguru007
