    hey guys, this may be a little confusing for those people that dont know much about the programming side of web development, so ill try an explain it the best i can.

    my site allows people to search a database for 'items'. the search results then appear on the page. when the user clicks on an item from the search, it appears in a new layer that looks similar to a new windows, but its just a layer on the page. the layer is then populated by a script that uses ajax to run php and query a database, and loads the data in that new layer(which isnt actually a new windows, just a layer). I have two questions:
    1. do you think google would consider this a popup?
    2. am i allowed more then 3 ads on this page seeing as the layer is populated by another script page, so technically its 2 pages in one? i am most likely not going to put more then 3 on, just curious.

    sorry if the description is a little vague.

    1.No. IMO popup's not allowed are the advertising kind of popups. I include adsense on pages the use a pop-up to display relevant info--but not ads.

    2. No. Of course only use 3 ads.
    What the user sees is one page..regardless of how many pages you use to present it. Ajax is only updating the page with out sending them to a new page to rebuild with the new info.

    My opinions only... I have nothing to back them up but my gut feeling.
