    Hello DP members,

    You can see that below screen shot of a site myfbcovers[.]com, which is showing more than three ads unit on a single page, I want to know isn't it against then Google's TOS? even If these are some third party codes and using adsense as there backup ads, is it still against adsense policy? I haven't read and nor have much experience with adsense.
    Please tell me if you guys know about this more.

    Thanks

    this is a grey area, but usually it's up to you to not have more than 3 adsense ad units on a page.

    well if you will put 4 adsense ads unit codes on single page straight away, google server automatically won't server the 4th one. but like this way you can show as much as ads you want on a page.

    it's best to restrict yourself to their rules, it avoid the need to think about outsmarting adsense

    Best just to stick to 3 blocks,,

    It will give Big G a reason to ban your account, should they wish to.
    I always thought that with Big G , you got 2 strikes before they will ban you,, Why waste one on an extra ad block ?

    Don't worry that guy would be ban soon. And its always best to adher to google adsense policies. You can't risk getting ban for such a petty thing.

    You should stick with 3 ads and i would remove the one on the bottom in your case.

    It depends I think, If you are a premium adsense publisher you can post more ads on your site plus you can edit the look or the layout of your ads.

    It seems a bug of Adsense Ad Management System. Adsense TOS still states you can keep 3 ad units and 3 link units in one page. Be in safe side, remove the fourth unit.

    No, sorry. You can`t display more than 3 (content) ads on your site. If you integrate 4 or more google will only show 3 of them. I think the matter is that this guy uses display advertisement from other advertising companie which use adchoice/adsense themselves. so he can`t really influence that. saw the same problem on many sites. he could be banned but i guess the chances are low..
