Has the contract been revised and it became useless? Or is the referral program OK? Just to be sure, I emailed it to Google. The contents sent below.

It is a question about substitute advertisement.

Currently, I am using what is collapsed as a substitute advertisement, but I am planning to turn this into another advertisement. Therefore, I searched on Google for a site with information to be helpful, and I found a page like the one below.

The method of the site mentioned above is "to display AdSense as an alternative advertisement of AdSense", and it is supposed to display introduction program as the object. In addition, the above site has "There is a sentence that this method is not contrary to the terms of service, it is certain that we confirmed by e-mail to the Google AdSense team".

しかし、上記サイトの記事が作成された日付が「2006年01月14日」となっているため、改めてGoogle AdSense プログラム ポリシー（https://www.google.com/adsense/policies）の2006 年 3 月 14 日版で確認したところ、「ただし、代替広告としてGoogleの広告を設定することはできません。」との記述が確認できました。

So there is a question, is it possible to use the same Adsense referral program as an alternative advertisement for Adsense under the current contract?

Sorry to trouble you, thank you.

Well then, I will excuse you.

Then, this kind of reply came. Some excerpts and quotations.

There is no problem using the referral program for the substitute advertisement.
Thank you for your understanding.

Apparently it looks like it really works. It may be perfect for those who think that only public advertisements are displayed, I do not want to take too much trouble ~, I do not want to manage anything.

One referral program can be used for each product, so it is possible to introduce Firefox, Picasa, Adsense, Adwrods introduction into one alternative advertisement HTML. However, it means that there is only one in each page. The limits on this number are described in detail by reading the Google AdSense program policies listed above.

In addition, another article on the site that created this method is also helpful for those who are thinking about their own alternative advertisements.
