google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";

Additional Information

Does using AGAR to replace public service ads Violate the AdSense Terms and Conditions?
From Google: Because AGAR ads replace AdSense public service ads, these will not be considered competing text based or content targeted ads. However, it is against our program policies and Terms and Conditions for publishers to display these ads on the same pages that AdWords ads are being displayed. We do not permit AdWords ads to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads.

Please also review the Google AdSense program policies and Terms and Conditions.

Can I display AGAR ads and AdSense/AdWords ads on the same page?
No. This violates the Google AdSense program policies and Terms and Conditions.

Can I use AGAR without AdSense?
Yes. AdSense is not required to run or use AGAR.

Can I use AGAR with my Amazon Products Feed site or any other Amazon Web Services site?
Yes, but since it is uses the same technology, the products AGAR displays will many times be the same products displayed elsewhere on your page. Also keep in mind your 1 request per second limit with AWS. As an alternative, please try APGAR (AllPosters/Google Ad Replacement).
