Google AdSense Program Policies

Everytime I create a new blog or change my template I keep on asking my self trying to remember what is the :

  • Actual Number of Ads allowed limited by Google?
  • Number of Ads limit on Adsense?
Interestingly most websites show contradicting guidelines. Probably due to checking on Google's guideline on different times - policy changes?

As of today, 30 January 2009, here is what I got from their website
Google AdSense Program Policies

....
Ad Placement

AdSense offers a number of ad formats and advertising products. Publishers are encouraged to experiment with a variety of placements, provided the following policies are respected:

  • Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page.
  • A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.
  • Up to three link units may also be placed on each page.
  • Up to three referral units may be displayed on a page, in addition to the ad units, search boxes, and link units specified above.
  • AdSense for search results pages may show only a single ad link unit in addition to the ads Google serves with the search results. No other ads may be displayed on your search results page.
  • No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed in a pop-up, pop-under, or in an email.
  • Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads.
  • No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.
  • No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.
I'd encourage you to check it out yourself as this policy could change.

HORLEY'S AWESOME MASS

Here's my story:
To Horleys Website Administrator,

I have submitted the following 'Ask the Expert' question on your
website:

Dear Sir/Madam,
Previously (many years back) I had taken protein powder to assist my
workout. After some time, my lymph nodes started swelling especially on
my neck area. After a biopsy, I was diagnosed with Kikuchi Disease,
something very rare. Doctors couldn't really pin point it but it started
after I started protein powder. I do not remember the product name
though. I have asked many doctors but they really don't have an idea. So
I stopped on supplements for a long time. Now I am starting to take
Awesome Mass, and hope no recurrence. Would you have any info on why
this would happen? Or a product more suited for me? I'm of ectomorph
built.

Thanks,


Here's their prompt reply:
Dear xxxx

Thank you for your enquiry. I have done a quick bit of research on
Kikuchi Disease, but am unfortunately able to shed any light on the
condition and its potential relationship with using a protein
supplement. I cannot offer any specific advice in this regard, and I
too hope that you do not suffer a recurrence. Awesome Mass is a great
product, we've been selling it for over 15 years and have many people
very satisfied with how the product has helped them. Based on our
experience to date, I have no reason to believe it would trigger any
form of lymphatic disease, so I can only suggest you proceed with
caution and my best wishes for your good health.

Kind regards,
