Can you have affiliate links on page with Adsense?

Does this comport with the TOS?

As with many things Google, the Adsense TOS are sometimes studiously vague. My question is, can one run Adsense on a page that has links for another affiliate program so long as they are not contextually based?

I have asked Google and the answer I got was, shall we say, less than straightforward. I really don't care what the answer is, I would just like a yes or no so I can do it right.

Yes.

Thanks. Is this generally accepted? I really don't want a letter from Google.

Yes, it's fine (and a smart business practice in a lot of cases)

[europeforvisitors]

Yes, it is.

There are some past threads on this forum in which people have discussed their correspondence with Google on the question; unfortunately, those threads may be hard to find.

If you're really concerned, why not e-mail AdSense Support again with a specific example of a page on your site that contains affiliate links in the format that you want to use?
