Theres a news Chikita Links program that has redesigned contextual advertising for theres ads; however, my question is emphatically, does this violate Google AdSense Terms Of Service??? Well, Daniel from Chikita Customer Service wrote me and said: “It does not, in fact violate Google’s Terms of Service. Check out our blog post on this subject for more information: http://chitika.com/blog/?p=306″.

Whish led to this post: “Yesterday the newly redesigned Chitika | Linx ad unit was released to the Chitika publisher network. Linx first launched in May of this year and was released only to a select group of publishers for testing. Now after some upgrades in design and function, all Chitika users can grab this cool PPC unit. So now everyone wants to know- is the new Chitika | Linx compatible with Google Adsense? The answer is yes, you can use it with Google Adsense. Based on the changes in the terms of service of Google (in the last few months), we believe this is 100% compatible.”

Personally I don’t believe too much of what I read on the Internet in general, unless it is from the horses mouth, on the horse, I need to hear it from the source. In this case, my emails to Google on this have not been answered. I know that there are many publishers out there that depend on Google for their sole income and with every advancement in technology their income teaters on an ever fraying tightrope. Knowing what is right and what is wrong is not easy to do, when the companies we are trying to work with don’t fully explain the rules.

I would be compelled to refrain from using Chitika Contextual Advertising along side Gogle Adsense until the word is final and is OFIICIAL (from the mouth of Google - not some two pence blogger) and that’s just my opinion on how I see this.
