: Why does including Amazon ads prevent all the AdSense ads from showing? This is really odd. I've had a 3 adsense + 2 amazon ad set up for my blog for months. Yesterday I updated an amazon

This is really odd. I've had a 3 adsense + 2 amazon ad set up for my blog for months. Yesterday I updated an amazon ad from black friday to cyber monday with this code

1 amazon ad and 1 adsense code are on all posts (beginning and end) then the other 2 adsense and 1 amazon are in the side bar of the main side so appear on pages and posts. Meaning at any given time there is no more than 3 adsense ads, 2 on pages, 3 on posts. Well, after I switched to the ad code above the sidebar ads vanished on posts. I eventually experimented with just removing the new amazon code from the end of posts and presto, adsense in the sidebar is back. It appears they are removing the sidebar ads because the amazon ad is being viewed as adsene and putting it over the 3 ad limit.

Why would google be seeing this amazon ad as an adsense ad?

Edit: I tried a different amazon code, and that also works fine, seems to just be that cyber monday code. So, I suppose this is a for-curiosities-sake question now lol

Google used to have a limit of 3 ad units per page regardless of if they where AdSense units or unit from another advertising network.

This has changed as of August 2016 where AdSense lifted the ad unit limit for every site. You can now place an unlimited amount of adsense ads on a page with one caveat, advertising and other paid promotional material added to your page should not exceed your content, in other words the quality of the site needs to be maintained. This is especially useful for infinite scroll where more content is added as you scroll down the page.

Based on the date and content of the original question the original issue was the fact that the two amazon ads went over the 3 unit limit and since Google couldn't disable the amazon ads they instead disabled their own ads.
