SELaplana >> Google >> Adsense + AdBrite Ads, Okay or Not?

People in the WebMasterWorld Forums are now talking about the ads of Adsense and AdBrite whether they can be published on the same page or not at the same time.

I remember that last January 2006, I asked the Adsense Team member assigned to me about this, and he told me that AdBrite Ads can be published with Adsense Ads without having any problems with the Adsense Policies.

However, everybody are now confused if it is still okay to publish the two ads at the same time in one page since AdBrite has upgraded its system to version 2.0. And just to make things clear, I emailed the Adsense Team today about it and hoping that he will response immediately.

While waiting for the reply of the Google Adsense Team on my email sent to them, let’s us first consider this post at the WebMasterWorld Forums:

I’ve been contacted by AdBrite a bunch of times about putting their ads up on my site. I told them “no” because after trying them they simply couldn’t compete with Adsense in terms of the revenue brought in.

To my surprise, an Adbrite rep now claims that they have Google’s blessings to appear on the same page as Adsense. The following is paraphrased from the letter they wrote to me, to comply with WW’s ToS.

Our CEO was on a panel with the Google founders at a recent music festival and someone asked them a question about Google’s thoughts on AdBrite and they said that AdBrite is the perfect compliment to Google.

She then said that there is a loophole in Google’s ToS, that because the ads are free standing (it doesn’t look blocked like the google ads) and because the ads aren’t contextual, they are allowed to appear on the same page.

I’m kind of surprised by this. Even if there’s a “loophole” why would the Google founders publically endorse a competitor whose ads look similar? That’s not exactly something a shareholder would like to see. Something strikes me as odd about this (though I do hope that it’s a legitimate claim).

This thread seems to agree with my gut reaction: that common thought is it is not allowed.

I checked with Google and haven’t heard back. I’ll update here when I do with a clarification.

I’m posting this in the Adsense forum (rather than the affiliate section), because it’s very important that Adsense publishers be aware of these claims and seek independant verification from Google before signing up, (should other third party reps be telling them this, too).

It seems that Google answered a query regarding this matter and seems to be fine to published both at the same time. In the first place, AdBrite ads is not a contextual ads. So, one thing that we should verify first is the way the ads look, whether it mimic Google or has its own identity. However, if I will be the one to judge, AdBrite ads has its own identity and doesn’t mimic Adsense Ads. But I just don’t know what Google might say about it.

Let’s us just hope that Adsense with AdBrite 2.0 is still okay.
