I have a page about "widgits" I have a 2 long columns of widget info.
blue widget red widget
green widget white widget
orange widget brown widget
black widget white widget
Ever so often I broke up the column and placed a horizontal adsense. Since the column was very long I broke up in 3 different places inserting the adsense ads each with 4 links in it. I just checked it and all ads are different. The same merchant is not showing twice in any of the 3 ads.
Am I breaking the rules? I'm confused by the statement Serving two or more identical ads on a single page constitutes double-serving, which Google does not support.
By having 3 units each with 4 ads I guess it is possible for the same merchant to show up in more than 1 ad unit but is this too risky to chance?
Thanks....
We have occasionally seen the same ad appearing on the same page in different ad blocks.
As these ads are supplied by Google and we have no control over it I don't see any problem.
I've never understood how one could force more an ad to appear more than once.
Is there anyone out there who can provide an explanation of this rule?
Whatever the method, the rule is not there for webmasters who are copying and pasting the code into a plain webpage to worry about. The rule is there for webmasters trying to make the same #1, highest paying ad show up ten times scattered all over the page.
At least I now can see how it could be done.
These duplicates that I get are on a straight html page with 2 ad units. No going to worry about it.
