Google Maps and advertising

[Joe B.]

Hello,

Is it possible to put advertisements (AdSense, Amazon, company/store
product ads/newsletter signup, paid placement ads) on the same page
as the Google maps mashup (outside the map) using the standard API? I
also was wondering if map markers, logos, and store pictures could
appear on the (standard API) map?

Thank you very much.

Hi Joe,

You can read the Terms of Service here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/terms

I'm not aware of any clause in the terms that precludes you from adding ads to your page.

Joe,

If you want to make more money from ads, I highly suggest using the facility to add ads to the map itself (Mapads). The payout is quite a bit higher than traditional ads (by about a factor of 5) and the ads are very relevant to the user due to their geographical context. It's a simple change to your code and well worth the effort. The ads appear as a small box in the corner of the map.
