Publishers have often complained about the rigidness of the AdSense policy that prevents publishers from running AdSense on the same page as another contextual ad program. So running AdSense & Yahoo Publisher Network on the same page during the same page view would be a no-no, but rotated 50/50 would be perfectly within the AdSense (& YPN) policies and terms. But not any more. Their competitive ad policy has gotten much, much tighter when they updated their AdSense policies today.

Their competitve ads & services policy was updated to this today:

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.

thanks for the information, anyway we cannot blame people who are into adsense, though it is very competitive but it is more credible than any other ads.

Oh well that's nice info...thanks then...That quote has a point, advertisement is a matter of competition, same layout of advertisement lead to viewers confusion, it is unfair to a certain ad that is being neglected just because of that similarity...

Thanks for the info... knowing many google supporters (users of google adsense) earn lots of money from it. It mind set others by showing how famous they were.
