    If I have AdSense Ads on a page, and on the same page I have a referral link to another affiliate program, is this illegal?

    It's not a picture link, or an advertisement, just a regular link with my referral id.

    I believe it's fine, as long as it doesn't look like a Google aff. link.

    Always best to double-check with AdSense support.

    The affiliate ads are fine if they don't look like google ads. Post the url so we can make a review.

    Do not fear Vadym. The Google gods do not cast ill-will on such an arrangement. So it's okay then.

    It's in the beta stages, so I'd rather not. I'll release it within the week though :p

    Yea, haven't banned me yet, and they were usually quick to do that, so it's fine then :p

    Hah. Once. They realize they made a boo boo though, after I ranted at them.

    I wouldn't go that far. I made them look like morons, and they didn't want to further their appearance of stupidity.

    You're in the minority then, from what I've heard a tone of obsequiousness gets you a lot farther than one of confrontation or pointing out their errors in a demeaning way.

    Ya well, it was kind of me blatantly point out that they were wrong.

    Like getting hit in side of the head with a baseball. Hard to not notice it.

    It's fine, as long as the ads are not contextual or look like googles.

    Contextual is not allowed, Text links and banners are.
