Too many ads?

Hi:

I'm wondering if I'm breaking the rules of Adsense by doing the following.

I have a couple ad's on my blog on the top and side, but then I have a small adsense piece of code that gets embedded with every blog entry. Technically the ad is on a separate page, but on my index page, I show about 7 blog entries, so there will be about 7 ads.

<snip>

So is this wrong, or acceptable?

Thanks for your input.

You want to emulate that model? And you're not kidding?

Blogs are not exempt from the limits on ad units per page.

You are without doubt next in line to have your account terminated, why can't you just read the terms of service where everything is listed on what you can and can't do

you are allowed 3 ad blocks where this site what you have just outed and reported to google by posting the url has 11, the photos above the 728 wide block at the top of the page needs to have a line inbetween the photos and the google ads.

What have the blog entries to do with the ads?

Is this such an exterm bad blog software?

Thanks for the replies. I definitely won't be doing that then.

Also, I didn't mean to report their site. If one of the mods want to remove that url, that would be fine.

Cheers.

I was wondering how the site mentioned by the OP managed to have so many ads served. Usually Google only serves the maximum three ad blocks and ignores any extra code.

In checking their code, I found an extra line:
google_ad_region = "test";

This seems to cause every request for an ad to be honored.

Anyone ever hear of this?

Well spotted Knappster, I did not look any further than the page its self, I have not seen that before but its just another term of service being broken by altering the code manually.
