Chitika and Adsense TOS

Ok, I have adsense on my main pages and forum. I am considering replacing adsense on my forum with Chitika.

I've read lots of stuff about adsense TOS not allowing another contextual advertiser at the same time. Is that on a per site basis or per page basis?

i.e. Could I put Chitika in its contextual form on my forum, so it looks at the forum article to cue up relevant adverts. Or would I have to have it by specific keyword?

I've heard that Chitika has better CPC payouts than Adsense. But not tried yet.
As far as Google is concerned, I think it is totally legal to use Ads from any other Advertiser at the same time.
The only thing is that the Google Adsense policies [ https://google.com/adsense/policies ] forbid Excessive advertising

 

Actually you can't use contextual ads on the same page (and it is on a page by page basis) so turn off the contextual feature if their are already AdSense ads on the same page.

 

Additionaly, you must turn off chitikas "search" on pages where You have google search code.

 

you can use chitika search with adsense. Check my post here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=396980&postcount=50

 

Can you join the affiliate program and then click your link and sign up, so you get the 10% aswell?

 

LOL I think it works, on another program, I bought a $499 script and saved $100 by referring myself.

 

Guess must turn off chitikas "search" on SITES were you have google search.

2 reasons for this Google search services, this would include other search services on the same site and non-Google query-targeted ads. by https://google.com/adsense/policies

chitika search is not search service but just a search within chitika product range.

 

You can if you do it under 2 different (legal) names or business accounts.

 

Agree with you its not a search services but Chitika search its not a query-targeted ads ? In tos and that reply from google they say search services or query-targeted ads

 

you have a point here, please refer to the WMW thread that I'd included in the links on my post...it could be better if we ask google directly about this..

 

You are right. I know that I read somewhere that it is not allowed to have both search, but that is outdated.

Here is page with some interesting info.
