Miva Inline Ads + Google Adsense Banners

[smsmasters]

I emailed Google Adsense if I could put "Miva Inline Ads", where users can hover over links and an ad will show, alongside Adsense Banners on the same page of my forum.

"According to our programme policies, MIVA ads may not be displayed on the
same page as Google ads on your site. However, you are welcome to display
those ads on pages of your site that do not include Google ads.

In general, AdSense programme policy does not permit Google ads to be
published on the same page as other contextually targeted ads. You can
review this and all Google AdSense programme policies, at
[google.com...] ."

I read their policies and it states that as long as the ads do not mimic google adsense, it should be ok?

Also, I found another site that has inline ads alongside google on the same page, of course, this site has been around for much longer and is BIG.

Is there some favouritism involved? I don't feel this is fair. The other site which I haven't mentioned has had the intellitxt inline ads there for about 1+ year now.

this site has been around for much longer and is BIG.

Large sites can make their own arrangements with Google. They used to be called premium publishers and you could apply if you over 20 million page views per month. I don't know what the current situation is.

So yes, you can call it favouritism. Makes sense to me though.

Premium publisher can do anything :) Trust me in line ads not good for end user and I use to make around $1000+ from kontera but removed the same my bouncing rate was 78% with kontera and without kontera it is now around 12%... bottom line: inline ads may hurt your businesses

Having said that I know someone who makes more money with inline ads. I suggest you try out both one by one and keep the more profitable service
