Is Google Allowing More than 3 Ad Units?

hi,

I have just come across a website, which has more than 3 adsense units on a single page. Just wanted to know, whether google has updates their terms.

Take a look:

Report the site. ToS of AdSense has never waved.

 

They must find a way to go around beucase normally the site java makes sure they can only have 3.
I will write to google now and ask.

Thanks for telling

 

Some sites that appear to have more than the 3 ads might be sites being hosted for free. The hosting site might add the google ads and the site owner might also ad his making it seem that either one has more than the three permitted ads.

You can legally have 4 units, if one of them is AdLinks. 3 units + 1 Adlinks is all you can have and you can't have more than 2 of the same unit types. This guy is clearly violating TOS

 

i think this web site doesnt know about that rule.

 

I think they should know terms by now:

 

Looks like all of these sites are running same Pub ID and more than three ad Units.

 

I guess, I have found why more than 3 ad units are appearing on a single page. If you actually check out the SOURCECODE of their site, you will find only 3 ad units with proper adsense codes. Rest of them are getting the codes from another server.

Here is the actual code, they are using to display more additional ad units on that page.
