Non AdSense Ads on the same site

But not on the same page

According to AdSense Program Policies :

We do not permit Google ads or search boxes accessing Google search services to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads or services. If you have elected to receive contextually-targeted Google ads, this would include all other contextually-targeted ads or links on the same page as Google ads

Does this mean that you can have, for example, Yahoo ads on other pages of a site, where Google ads are not present? This includes contextual ads.

yes, as its based on the page not site

Cool. I assumed this may be the case, but was a bit confused by some of the earlier posts on here.

Taking it a step further, there are three reasons I asked this.

1] My site is UK based, for UK users, and many of the ads showing are for USA and other countries.

2] My site was not built for AdSense, and as such there is limited space for ad placement. AdSense is very restrictive in their ad formats, whilst other companies allow customisation of size etc.

3] Those pages that are getting low return on AdSense may be better served by another company.[ This would obviously be a trial and error issue to find out if others work better ]

Some of you UK based webmasters:

Does it take time to get UK targeted ads on AdSense, as I have been up and running 6 weeks or so with AdSense, and most of the ads are for a USA audience?

It depends on where the advertiser is targeting the campaign. They get to choose local or global. In addition, there may not be many UK advertisers in your niche. As it's auction based, it may be that there are UK ads available, but the globally targeted US ones might be paying more, so Google chooses them in preference.

Thanks David.

I kind of understood the higher price ads getting preference on the one hand, but thought that relevence would have been a high profile issue also.
