Questions About AdSense for Content, Search and Referrals

I used AdSense quite a few years ago for another client and decided lately to give it a try for a hobby site of mine. I have some very basic questions if you all don't mind. I am somewhat confused on how the whole new system works, ie. Content, Search and Referrals.

I am currently running Content and Referrals (yes, I am having the exact same problems everyone else is having with Referrals - I am gonna have to pull it off the site until these get resolved).

Am I allowed to run both types of Content (Add Unit and Link Unit) on the same page? Do I run through the proccess of generating the code twice? Once for each type? The radio buttons make it seem like it's either one or the other but not both. I am confused on this aspect of the program.

What exactly can I run on just one page? Can I run two Contents (both an Add Unit and a Link Unit), a Search and a Referral on the same page? What exactly are the rules and how many of what can I do. I looked through their guidelines and for some reason I find it all very confusing.

How about quantities of any given item? If I add it to an included menu and it shows up for every page, is this okay? How about all items on every page... is this okay?

Can I adjust Color or size (H & W) in the code itself? Or is this a no no. In other words, instead of tweaking, do I have to regenerate code everytime I make a change?

Anywayzzz... Thanks for any response. I feel like such a Noob (and I am). Just don't want to get myself in any hot water with the G.

Thanks!

A couple more, if you don't mind...

Can I generate several different sizes for Content for display on different parts of the site? A skyscraper on one page and a horizontal on another? Do I go through the process of generating the code for each?

Can I do a horizontal and a skyscraper Add Unit on the same page?

Thanks!

(You ask a lot of questions)

Am I allowed to run both types of Content (Add Unit and Link Unit) on the same page? Do I run through the proccess of generating the code twice? Once for each type?

Yes and yes.

Can I run two Contents (both an Add Unit and a Link Unit), a Search and a Referral on the same page? What exactly are the rules and how many of what can I do.

Yes again. Someone posted a list recently, let me see if I can find it.

Here it is. There's also a link to the program policies in that page:

If I add it to an included menu and it shows up for every page, is this okay?

That's how I do it.

Can I adjust Color or size (H & W) in the code itself? Or is this a no no. In other words, instead of tweaking, do I have to regenerate code everytime I make a change?

You can adjust the color, you cannot adjust the size.

Can I generate several different sizes for Content for display on different parts of the site? A skyscraper on one page and a horizontal on another? Do I go through the process of generating the code for each?

Can I do a horizontal and a skyscraper Add Unit on the same page?

Yes to all these, bearing in mind you have to use the formats given you. But also bear in mind that when you have too many ad blocks on a page, your users might be turned off, your ads might run duplicates, and your CTR may be negatively affected.

Whew!
