Can i have 3rd party ads on my site while having adsense?

You can't use contextual ads.
You can use CPM or affiliate ads.

Heres an extract from their TOS :

Quote:

Competitive Ads and Services

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.

So, as Armaan said earlier, you can't use another contextual ad service with Adsense on the same page. You can use non-Contextual ads or your own private banner adverts. (provided it's not confused with Google ads).

Yes.

And you are allowed to have contextual ads from other programs as long as they don't look like the AdSense ads.
