Alternate Ads: An idea

Adsense alternate ads PSA public service ads

[MHasan]

Well, I'm a newcomer to adsense. My site is working fine with adsense as it is written in English. But the problem cames with forum where users post in different languages which are not supported by adsense, so the pages are coming with useless public service ads.

My question is: As alternet ad url I can specify a html page, does it violet adsens TOS if I directly use adsense advertisers url there?

Suppose, one of my page is showing ad with "http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=....." url. If I specify this directly in the alternate html page, will it work without violeting adsense TOS?

If not, is there any idea?

You shouldn't do that. It won't work, for one thing.

Another option is that you can specify that the ad box be collapsed.

The adbox collapsing won't work here, as I read from google adsense blog's hitmap, an ad just after the 1st topic in a thread draws more attention, I've modified my IPB forum like that.

A topic cannot be collapsed, as it is hardcoded in php modules.

Any other idea? Can I place google refferal services as alternate ad links?

Here is another idea I got,
Is adsense within adsense is possible?
Say, I make a page with appropriate keywords relevant to my site, written everything in far bottom in the page, placing adsense block on top. Then is it possible to put this page as alternate ad so that only the adsense part of that page can be visible. Is it possible without violeting TOS?

If you get a significant percentage of PSAs, the correct workaround is not to trick Adsense into showing ads instead of PSAs.

You should rather try and understand why google does not serve good ads to your pages.

And yes, I think your idea borders TOS violation in several ways:
- altering javascript
- artificially inflating impressions
- ...

I use chitka for alternate ads, just copy the chitka code into an empty text file give it an html extension and use that as an alternate. Guess what no more psa or chitka ads. And its 100% legal,

Thanks bro, for your info. Does chitka supports all the countries, like Bangladesh to send check?
