    my site is about cichlids. My ads will be about cichlids, aquariums, and plants. But most of the time they lead to ebay?

    edit: For sites like yours, Adsense may not be the best program for you. Try www.bidvertiser.com - instead of keyword, they are catagory based.. and you will get a wider range of ads that pay more per click (probably)

    From your Adsense account :
    Ad Settings -> URL filter -> [Add ebay & affiliates to list]

    If or not the ads you're left with are any better, I don't know.

    Yeah, I want to know that too. Can somebody tell me if Adsense has some policy on which other ad links/services we use?

    No, you can't use Google and bidvertiser.. Google has a script policy about not allowing other ad services on the same page as Google. You could do a rotating script though, and half the time display Google, and the other have Bidvertiser or something.

    Yeah, I think we all know that already ;)

    For a rotator, if your site is php based, its not hard at all. I could post some code if anybody is interested.

    pg20706, yes, it pays better for some catagories, but if all your keywords are the dreaded 5-cent ones.. then...other companies do better.
