Are we allowed to use a system like phpadsnew to put adsense ads on a website?

I've always just dropped my adsense code into includes, but a new site has me wondering. The site came with phpadsnew, I dropped the code into the system and the ad is showing fine - but is it legal to do this?

Here's what Google's adsense rules say:

Site and Ad Behavior

Sites showing Google ads should be easy for users to navigate and should not contain excessive pop-ups. AdSense code may not be altered, nor may standard ad behavior be manipulated in any way that is not explicitly permitted by Google.

* Sites showing Google ads may not contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation, change user preferences, or initiate downloads.
* Any AdSense code must be pasted directly into webpages without modification. AdSense participants are not allowed to alter any portion of the code or change the behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads. For instance, clicks on Google ads may not result in a new browser window being launched.
* A site or third party cannot display our ads, search box, search results, or referral buttons as a result of the actions of any software application such as a toolbar.
* No AdSense code may be integrated into a software application.
* Webpages containing AdSense code may not be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings, or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code.
* Referral offerings must be made without any obligation or requirement to end users. Publishers may not solicit email addresses from users in conjunction with AdSense referral units.


This line is the one I'm scratching my head over:

* No AdSense code may be integrated into a software application.

Do they mean "software" like phpadsnew that serve ads, or "software" like here's my new software app that does such and such and btw, there's adsense pre-installed when you download it...?

Yes, I believe that you can use it without any problems.

Do they mean "software" like phpadsnew that serve ads, or "software" like here's my new software app that does such

They mean software. I wouldn't call phpadsnew software, though. phpadsnew is ad rotation software, not really an app.

Generally speaking, you can use it. I would, however, make sure that if you rotate between YPN and AdSense that you only make that switch once a day. The YPN and AdSense bots need time to crawl your page(s) and figure out what your page(s) are about.

If you're wondering how to set it up then SE Roundtable has a good rundown of it here. I would also look here.
