adsense vs infolinks

I did made a research about putting Infolinks on my site together with adsense. And while i was googling to find the right answer, i found out that many people were curious to know if Infolinks will violate Adsense terms. I did a little research on my own and i got an answer for you.

As you might already know, Adsense is a contextual advertising company, which means that it analyses the web page, and displays the ads related to the page topic. Google calls this “content-targeted advertising”. If you read the Adsense terms, you will notice that they don’t allow other contextual ads on the same page.

Inflolinks is also contextual advertising company, because it analyses the web pages, and marks several text as keywords and makes them clickable, so when you click or put your mouse over the link, they display an ad on that topic.

SO THE ANSWER IS: DONT PUT INFOLINKS IF YOU USE ADSENSE BECAUSE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE BLOCKED ! ! !

You can safly use Chitika MiniMall advertising, where you can specify a canned set of keywords for the advert to be included as you copy and paste their code onto your page: arguably that’s more accurate than letting a program guess what your page is about anyway, but it is acceptable as an additional advert. You can also include banner ads (like the BlogAds network) or other advertising. It’s all acceptable to the Google team, as long as the other advertising system doesn’t automatically scan your page and ascertain the best ads to display on-the-fly.
