   Hi Nena,

   I’ve seen people do it before. However, I use AdSense and Link Referral and so far I haven’t gotten into any trouble.

   Copied right from Google’s TOS

   “Sites displaying Google ads may not include:

   * Violent content, racial intolerance, or advocacy against any individual, group, or organization
   * Pornography, adult, or mature content
   * Hacking/cracking content
   * Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia
   * Excessive profanity
   * Gambling or casino-related content
   * Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails
   * Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages
   * Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site’s search engine ranking, e.g., your site’s PageRank
   * Sales or promotion of weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, fighting knives, stun guns)
   * Sales or promotion of beer or hard alcohol
   * Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products
   * Sales or promotion of prescription drugs
   * Sales or promotion of products that are replicas or imitations of designer goods
   * Sales or distribution of term papers or student essays
   * Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity, or infringes on the legal rights of others”

   Generally Google doesn’t like it when there are other “text ads” competing on the same page as Adsense text ads.

   The link below will give you a method to verify. If in doubt email Google. They are pretty good at getting back to publishers.

   Good Luck

   You’re safer to use both YPN and Adsense if you don’t use them on the same page.

   Google’s program policies used to be very specific that they do not want competing ads on the same page, but have relaxed the rules to say that they just don’t want ads that look the same and can be confused with Adsense

   ———————————-
   Competitive Ads and Services
   In order to prevent user confusion, we do not permit Google ads or search boxes to be published on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colors as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.

   However YPN’s Program Policies specifically state that you cannot use YPN alongside competing programs

   ———————————-
   Excessive, duplicate or competing advertisements
   ———————————-

   You’d be violating YPN’s rules if you put Adsense on the same page as YPN. Check with YPN if you can use them both on the same site, but on different pages (e.g. Page 1 has Adsense while Page 2 has YPN)
