    I have just emailed adsense, asking whether I can have globalinteractive banner ads on the same page as google ads. They replied with this:




    Thank you for your email.

    Google AdSense program policy does not permit Google ads to be published
    on the same web page as other contextually-targeted ads. More broadly, our
    policy does not permit Google ads to be displayed on the same website as
    ads that mimic or attempt to be associated with Google ads. According to
    these program policies, Globalinteractive ads may not be displayed on the
    same page as Google ads on your site. We do allow affiliate or
    limited-text links.

    Also note that we do not allow other search services or query-targeted ads
    to be displayed on the same site as AdSense for search.

    Our intent with this policy is to be as fair to our advertisers as
    possible and to maintain the integrity of the AdWords and AdSense
    programs.


    Now, it is me, or are banner ads by globalinteractive NON contextual? I mean, a website on insects displaying ads for tesco vouchers I would not call contextual. I wonder why google have stated this?

    Because the ad LOOKS LIKE a google ad. I do think it's unfair though.
