What kind of ads are served by ADSDAQ?
ADSDAQ serves primarly graphical ads. Sometimes ADSDAQ will also serve rich media and expandable ads. There are no text ads served by ADSDAQ currently, but we expect text ads to be served starting in Q1 2008.
Can I work with ADSDAQ and Google AdSense?
Yes, our AskPrice technology relies on you working with Ad Networks to make money most effectively. The Google AdSense terms and conditions do not have any exclusivity terms that prevent you from using ADSDAQ either; they simply say "Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads cannot be confused with Google ads."
Since all Google ads have the label "Ads by Google", and ADSDAQ ads obviously don't have this label; we don't conflict with the AdSense Competitive Ads and Services provisions.
See the "Competitive Ads and Services" section of the May 2007 updated AdSense Program policies for this specific section:
