Is It Possible to Use AdSense and InfoLinks at Same Page?

Do you think can we use Google AdSense and InfoLinks on the same page? Will it against Google terms of service? As I known, InfoLinks provide in-text advertisement which you may see that some terms in the text are hyperlinked to the advertiser’s website.

In the other words, you need to make sure that it should always be clear to the user that the ads are served by different advertising networks.

So, you now can monetize your website with in text ads together with Google AdSense ads with no worries. Google does not have anything against in-text ads. The in text ads that I recommended to use is Infolinks since it is widely used by many publishers to create a stream of revenue to supplement Adsense.

But, they also had its toughest time during year 2001 to 2003 because of the slowdown in the economy of U.S and the impact of China as a competitor of low cost manufacturing.
