FROM NEW: Google AdSenseTM Online Standard Terms and Conditions

3. Communications Solely With Google. You agree to direct to Google, and not to any advertiser, any communication regarding any Ad(s) or Link(s) displayed in connection with Your Site(s).

Does it meen that all your ads on your web site should be strictly ads from Google?

Thank you.

I think that just means you cannot discuss any of the details of the Adsense program with anyone but Google.

My interpretation is that Google's been having problems with publishers contacting advertisers regarding ads shown on their site.
