What's the max amount of ads per page?

it's confusing over at adsense policy

Easy question I know, but the answer over at Adsense is a bit confusing to me.

Is the following allowed?

1 page : 3 ad banners + 1 link unit + 2 searchboxes

Thank you =)

yup, it is, but i dont see any reason for having 2 search boxes on 1 page...

[Crickey]

Thanks for clearing that up for me. =)

I don't think it's that weird to put two searboxes up though.
1 at the top and one at the bottom.
But I guess that all depends on your site's lay-out.

Having three banners on a page does not mean you have three time the income! be very careful if you intend to put more than one block on a page that they ALL work for you. Place a banner on each ad block and watch the performance closely. You may well find that having only one well placed ad block on the page gives you a better income than multiple blocks.

It seems to me to be complete overkill to have multiple search boxes, and I'd be inclined to steer clear of the idea.

Visitors come to your site for the content relevant to their search - not to be hit in the face with a huge wall of ads! There is also ad blindness to consider.
