Hello ,
i should have asked this directly from google but wanted to get first hand info from here.

is it okay for me to run Ads on our business services site.
like we have site where we offer content and service and it is registered with google adsense.

as we have other sites where we offer services like Hosting , webdesign etc. so is it Right according to google TOS and in business sense to run ADS there aslo.

i dont see any problem with TOS here but what do you guys think from experience would google tolerate that.

i also want to know is it a legitimate "ethical" way of making money, its like host advertising other host.
in this respect i feel little hesitated google pays me well and i m really grateful to them and dont want to spoil(pollute)what i earn .

definately there is other side where host May be referring customers to other host also. i am okay with that.

i have seen ads on few sites like this.
would love to see opinions here.
regards

Hi,

I certainly haven't heard of any problems with these sorts of sites, and can't see why Google would have a problem with it. Just remember to keep it off any registration pages, as per the TOS.

However, the main problem with Adsense on "business" sites is that it tends to through up ads for your competitors, so I wouldn't put Adsense on any site advertising your services.

Have fun!

Yes, it is right! In fact I have seen such sites offering such stuff, running AdSense banners!

And if you are afraid of a competion advertising through these banners - well, maybe for a reason - maybe your offering is not good enough. You must judge it for yourself if your commercial offer is strong enough... generally main sense of AdSense is putting it on content sites, not commercial/selling sites, but it is not forbidden to put them there too... as life shows.
