Sub domains

I will be running a site and I want to use Google Adsense on it. But there is one slight problem, my host uses network ads from Adbrite and other advertising programs, will this be a problem with adsense?

Thanks guys! =)

If you could scrounge up $10 to invest in your own domain name, and $10 a month for hosting you'd be a LOT bettter off.

You cannot use another contextual advertising service in conjunction with AdSense. There's no way for Google to tell if those other ads or yours or not, so they'll just assume they are yours.

I'd get off of free hosting ASAP (especially that free hosting), if I were you for a number of reasons.

-You can't run AS, else you're violating the TOS there. Even if you could, your earnings would be watered down because of competition with the other ads.
-Free hosting services can, and sometimes do, drop people whenever they want for a variety of reasons.
-Your URL is probably a subdomain of their site or a folder. If something happens to them, all of your inbound links would become worthless as you can't move your URL to another server.
-If you have success with AdSense, it will easilly pay your hosting costs.

There are advocates of free hosting out there, but I think the bads definitely outweigh the goods.

You can use a different contextual ad provider, only if those type of ads (eg text ads, ad unit, link unit), do not resemble the Adsense ads you are using. (Eg, ad unit, link unit)

For example, Softpedia uses Vibrant Media, Intelitxt, and Adsense.

They don't have any problem.
