pmvForum | | Adverts (3rd Jan 08 at 1:17pm UTC) | | I quote from the TOS:
Quote: Section 3 - Advertisements All message boards are funded by adverts shown on user pages. In order to comply with the terms of the provider of said adverts, adverts must:
* Not be tampered with * Be clearly visible when the page loads * Not be accompanied by your own paid advertisements
Is that still the same if the page has ad-free? | |

pmvForum | | Re: Adverts (3rd Jan 08 at 1:20pm UTC) | | | I would have thought you could, because when there's ad-free the ads are removed completely from the page, so you're not breaking any Google rules...though you might break some vF rule. | |

Aye, it's making sure it wouldn't be in violation of the TOS that's the kicker | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Adverts (3rd Jan 08 at 1:24pm UTC) | | | Google don't like having multiple ad-sense accounts associated with the same domain (even if one set isn't active). However if you have ad-free then there's nothing to stop you from using another advertising company. | |

Instead of another ad company, what about if people were paid to hold their ads by a single company or the like? I suppose it'd be similar? | |
