Adsense TOS question

[weela]

I have a question, about interpreting the adsnese TOS, I want to add a banner type image ad to my site, that wont change, i.e. its fixed and isn’t affected by on page text.

Is this allowed by the adsense TOS? The pertinent part of the f.a.q I found concerning this is:

“We do not permit Google ads to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads. This would include all content-targeted ads as well as text-based ads. Text-based ads, for this situation, can be loosely defined as ads that mimic Google texts ads or appear to be associated with Google text ads on your site. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.”

My interpretation of this would say a banner type image ad that doesn’t change due to on page criteria is ok.

This can't be any problem. It's not content related, and it's an image ad.

I think it's alright. Nothing in the TOS suggest that is illegal.
