While I am writing this, there are nearly 500 Diggs on this topic. That’s how big this is. Google updated their Adsense policy this week, removing the section that said competing contextually-targeted ads were not allowed on the same page as Google ads.

Jennifer Slegg of Jensense.com confirmed with the senior product manager on the Google Adsense Team that you CAN now have other ad delivery systems like Blogads and Crispads on your blog.

Not that it means much to the millions of bloggers who were already flouting that rule. But still, it’s like finding out that downloading music is now legal. Yay!

Unfortunately, the Yahoo Publisher Network still rules that you can’t have Google Ads on the same pages as Yahoo Ads. But it may not be long before they relent since their biggest competitor already has.
