I wish to know that too, I found this - 7 ad boxes http://allafrica.com/stories/201012270763.html

 

Google allows max 3 ad units per page to publisher but even if you more than 3 ads units it will show only 3 other will be show white space

suite101.com is seems to be premium publisher of ads so they may be allowed to by adsense

 

Premium Adsense publishers makes much more money than common Adsense accounts. If your site receives more than 5 million search queries or 20 million content page views a month, you may qualify for AdSense premium service.

 

have no idea trying to figure it out....

 

maybe more pages included in one? or premium

 

Dude, you difinitely not read their policy carefully, here is the link:https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=cn&answer=48182

 

how do we get a premium adsense a/c

 

Google adsense will allow only 3 max bigger ad-boxes for normal adsense accounts. But for premium accounts it is unlimited & depends on the space availability on the website.
Actually for normal adsense accounts we can put a maximum of 6 ads. Out of these 6, only 3 are large boxes(Rectangular skyscrapper, square, wide-leader board ) and remaining 3 are smaller boxes where only one line ads will be displayed.

 

yes...those add's are not normal adsense account add's those are premium account add's. check the add code it's very strange.
