    Hey everyone, I know the terms of service, but I read a post saying that Google allows 3 blocks per page. And 3 links per page. Does that mean if I have 3 blocks on my blog, that have 3 links in it, it could be subject to violating the terms of service? The blog post I read, really confused me on that. Can anyone please clarify this for me?!? I do not want to risk my adsense account!

    You should be checking the official Google Adsense help site for information:

    https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9735
    You can have three link UNITS per page, not three links. That means you can have the code for an Adsense link unit appear three times. Each Adsense link unit will have 4 or 5 actual links, depending on what format you choose. It has nothing to do with the other links you make in your posts.

    If you have the link unit code in every blog post or after every blog post, that means you can only have a maximum of three posts on a page. If you are using the standard blogspot blog widget, I believe it automatically limits the number of ad and link units to the maximum number.

    You seem to be conscious of the value of your adsense account, so read the adsense policies well enough, it is useful to know about them, for yourself and also try to answer people question on this forum. You'll see how little some people know about adsense policies when they ask some questions.. But they should all read adsense policies instead of asking on a forum because the advice is not always the best on forums!
