Google AdSense TOS (Questions on using similar Ad/Marketing programs & Accounts)

    Hello All;

    A few quick questions;

    1.) In the Google AdSense TOS, I BELIEVE it states that when you let's say, apply for an AdSense account, they'll look at your Site/URL. If it meets their guidelines (or whatever) they'll approve you.

    However, once you're approved, I THINK that you're only approved to use your Google AdSense account for that Site/URL only. Is this true? From all of my AdSense research, it seems as if folks have just the one Google AdSense account and use it for MANY sites. It would suck if one would have to apply for an account, for EVERY single site they have. Can anyone offer any clarity?

    2.) We're thinking of using other types of Ad/Marketing programs on the same site as Google AdSense. They're not really competitors with AdSense, but basically, once we sign up for an account...they'll give us GIF buttons/links that can be on our site, so when folks click on them we'll get credit.

    I know that the Google AdSense program is pretty darn strict, so I don't want to do anything to get myself banned. I've already emailed them on this, but it's been 2 days and they still have not responded.

    Any suggestions?

    J.

    1# yes once they accept you, you can use the code on other sites which is within the TOS, people can apply multiple times i asume but i dont see the benefit except spam of ads, which prob result in a ban.

    2# stuff like that IMO is stupid, targeted ads is always the best way to go.


    you should checkout the service section for directory submission, ide personally pay for that than schemes mensioned in #2.

    Thanks so much for the info! As far as #2, to give a bit more of an example;

    Let's say my website is on the Nissan 350Z, like an enthusiast type of website. I would have let's say GIF Buttons that may go to a another site or two, where they sale Nissan 350Z Parts & Accessories at a great price.

    I want to have Google ADs of course, but I'd like to participate in these other programs as well. I'm not talking about filling the site with banners like double-click or fast-click, but something that is totally relevant to my site.

    So, I'm just curious if this sort of thing is allowed.
