Can I have AdSense Ads with other ads?

Other ads would be iTunes, Amazon, eBay, etc...

Hello!

I have a question regarding AdSense with other types of ads.
There is a section in my site where people talk about a book. They read a little review of the book and there are AdSense ad units at the top. At the left, I have Amazon ads so that the users can buy and browse for that specific book and buy it directly from the Amazon website if they are interested.

My question is whether it is legal or not to have Google AdSense ads with others such as iTunes, Amazon and eBay?

I've seen sites such as <snip> and <snip> posting AdSense ads with other ads like DoubleClick and Amazon ads. I want to know if thats the right thing to do or its against the Google TOS?

Thanks for the help!

Google ToS:
General. You agree not to display on the same Web page in connection with which any Ad Unit, Ad, Link, Search Box, or Referral Button is displayed (a "Serviced Page") any advertisement(s) that an end user of Your Site(s) would reasonably confuse with a Google advertisement or otherwise associate with Google. If You have elected to receive content or Site-based Ads, You further agree not to display on any Serviced Page any non-Google content-targeted advertisement(s). If You have elected to receive Search Results on any Site(s), You agree that Google will be the exclusive provider of Internet search services on such Site(s). Certain Google services available as part of the Program may contain filtering capability, such as SafeSearch or AdSafe, that You may access through Your account. However, if You elect to enable any such filters, You acknowledge and agree that: (i) it is Your responsibility to enable such features in accordance with the specifications provided by Google, and (ii) Google does not and cannot commit that all results (including Ads, Links and Search Results) will be limited to results elected by enabling such filter(s). Google may also include in certain services features which are unsupported under Google's then current technical documentation. Such features are provided "as is" and Your use of them shall be undertaken solely at Your own risk.

So, if they're not site-targetted or contextual based ads, or don't look like Google Ads, You should be ok to display other ads.

so that means, if I have let's say Amazon Ads ( which don't really look like Google Ads) I can display them in a page that ALSO has AdSense ads. That's great then, it's all I wanted to hear.

Thanks!

I am not sure I understand this completely: can we rotate Google ad with a non-google ad between two distinct pageviews of the same page?
At any given time, there is only one ad on the page.

Graphic banners are ok if put on pages with adsense.But you will get into trouble if you put text ads of the same colour as adsense units
