Using other ad networks with AdSense

 Can I sign up if I'm already on another ad network?

There are some guidelines on how to display non-Google ads alongside Google ads. We allow affiliate or limited-text links to be shown.

If your ad network already has Google ads on your pages, you can still join AdSense and display ads on your website using our programme. However, according to our Valuable Inventory Policy, you cannot place more ads than content on your page.

Always remember that you are responsible for resolving any contractual issues that may arise with your ad network as a result of displaying Google ads directly.

Avoid accidental clicking

Encourage accidental clicks

Publishers are not allowed to encourage users to click on Google ads in any way. This includes implementing ads in a way that might be mistaken for another site's content, such as menu, navigation, or download links.

Be careful when placing links, play buttons, download buttons, navigation buttons (for example, "Previous" or "Next"), game windows, video players, drop-down menus, or applications near advertisements; These items may lead to accidental clicks on ads. Even if the format leads to accidental clicks, publishers will still receive violation notices.

Paying attention to advertisements in abnormal ways

Publishers are not allowed to draw undue or unnatural attention to Google ads. Examples of this include:

Flashy animations that draw the user's attention to the ads

Arrows or other symbols that indicate advertisements
