This Confuses Me...

Can Anyone Explain?

According to the Google AdSense program policy...

"Up to three ad units may be displayed on each Web site page, but no ad unit shall contain any advertisement in common with any other ad unit. Serving two or more identical ads on a single page constitutes double-serving, which Google does not support."

An ad unit is defined as one separate piece of code, or a single unit such as 728 x 90, 468 x 60, etc...right?

But then they state that no ad unit shall contain any advertisement in common with any other ad unit. Are they referring to any ad that is not served by Google? Or Google ads similar to each other? For example, if I had some ads relating to business cards, I wouldn't be able to display any Google ads that deal with business cards?

Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks!

It's their own ads they are talking about. Pretty crazy to state a policy of duplicate advertisers when you are the one controlling the ads.

It's not really crazy. You could break the rule by, for example, putting ads in different frames on a page and not checking the "Framed Page" checkbox when creating the code.

Are there any steps I can take to prevent my ads from double-serving? Or is this beyond my control?

I don't want to break any rules. :)

Thanks.
