Can I put more than Google Adsense on my site?
Is it possible to have both Google Adsense AND Yahoo’s money making programs on my website WITHOUT violating either businesses rules?
Please provide the link where you got your info.
Thank you so much in advance.
You’re safer to use both YPN and Adsense if you don’t use them on the same page.
Google’s program policies used to be very specific that they do not want competing ads on the same page, but have relaxed the rules to say that they just don’t want ads that look the same and can be confused with Adsense

In order to prevent user confusion, we do not permit Google ads or search boxes to be published on websites that also contain other ads or services formatted to use the same layout and colors as the Google ads or search boxes on that site. Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.

However YPN’s Program Policies specifically state that you cannot use YPN alongside competing programs

Excessive, duplicate or competing advertisements

You’d be violating YPN’s rules if you put Adsense on the same page as YPN. Check with YPN if you can use them both on the same site, but on different pages (e.g. Page 1 has Adsense while Page 2 has YPN)
Hi Nena,
I’ve seen people do it before. However, I use AdSense and Link Referral and so far I haven’t gotten into any trouble.

Generally Google doesn’t like it when there are other "text ads" competing on the same page as Adsense text ads.
The link below will give you a method to verify. If in doubt email Google adsense-support@google.com. They are pretty good at getting back to publishers.
Good Luck
