    Hey, im new here so I hope I am posting in the right forum. Also, apologies if this has all been posted before.

    Some questions...

    - I currently run a small website that deals with a subsection of a particular niche. I want to expand it to include more content in the vain of mini sites (eg, subsection1.mainsite.com and subsection2.mainsite.com etc). If i get approval now on the main site, am I then allowed to use the ad code in all other sub sites? (naturally they will adhere to ToS and guidelines)

    - If I am accepted am I still allowed to sell advertising space myself (should the sites popularity rise one day)?

    - How many simultanious websites can you have under one Ad Sense account?

    I hope someone can shed some light onto this, it would mean a lot. I am not looking to retire from Ad Sense but just to suppliment my current income, help pay for maintainence on the site i currently run and reap a little reward for the work I have put in.

    Thanks in advance.:)

    Once you have an Adsense account you are allowed to place your ads on any site that complies with the Adsense program policies.

    Yes, as long as the ads look different from the Google ads, and the ads don't link to forbidden content. So you can't link to an online casino or a pay-to-surft program, for example.

    As many as you like.

    Just remember to format your own adverts differently from Google ads, and also remember that there is a limit of the total number of adverts you can place on each page, at one time.

    A good bit of advice would be to have the adverts on a script which switches them around simultaneously, or dependant on factors you choose. So the adverts basically rotate, one page will display your adverts, another will display Google Ads.

    If you need any help with this, feel free to ask on the forum, I'll be happy to help :)

    Don't get me wrong, you're allowed to have a number of adverts on one page at once, although there is a limit :) I can't remember off the top of my head how much it is, I think you're allowed 3-4 Google Ads on a page at once.

    Good luck,
    Regards.
