Referral ads - Maximum number?

Discussion in 'Guidelines / Compliance' started by jkomp, May 10, 2006.

    You know how there's a maximum of 3 ad units on a page, does that include referral ads? if not what's the maximum number of those you can have?
    Can you encourage people to sign up to the referral things (like say how good adsense is and say, click below to sign up to adsense). Also can you make any real money from this sort of thing?
    Cheers,
    Thom aka jkomp

    I have 2 ad blocks and 2 referrals on my high traffic site. So far I have hundreds of clicks on the referrals and $7 revenue. Don't waste your time with them. Also, it is against TOS to draw attention to the ads but I don't think it is so with the referrals because you don't get paid per click.

    I know the ToS for content ads like the back of my hand, but when it comes to these referral ad things I might as well be a nooob

    Sorry I forgot to answer your question. I thought you were more interested in the fact that the referrals suk in terms of taking up ad space and earning next to zero revenue.

    In the TOS somewhere they also say that referrals are called ads and follow the same rules as the adsense blocks or adlink units.
