Does google frown upon having other banner ads

[jaames]

Let me explain my page first.
My pages are quite on a narrow side, so they are long and lengthy and very informative, so on each page between a paragraph of 500 words or so I have placed normal affiliate image banners, I also have other banners here and there (footer, header, right panel). On my pages i also have 2 adsense units.

So basically, on each page screen at any given time there is 2 adsense units and 8-10+ normal sized banners (pages are narrow and long).

Is this a problem with google?

Thanks for your help

According to the Terms of Service:

Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads do not mimic Google ads. If you have elected to receive Google search services, this would include other search services on the same site and non-Google query-targeted ads. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.

So as long as you don't try and trick your visitors into thinking your ads are google ads you are ok.

Yes, all the banners are normal image banner, million miles away from what adsense looks like.

How about the volume of such banners (amazon, hosting, etc..), are we allowed a certain amount of banners or google does not mind if I have other many Amazon and other banners for example?

I think Google leave this open to interpretation by just saying "Excessive advertising".

To be honest, banging loads of banners on one page is madness. No matter how good the content is, if I see loads of ads I will just click out.

I think it's better to concentrate on making the most out of a minimal amount of advertising. I guess if you have 10 cpm banners on a page, then you are getting 10 miniscule portions of a $ per impression as opposed to 1, but the disadvantage of this is that your big Google ad that *could* earn you megabucks is buried, and not seen because of ad-blindness.
