Using adsense on an E-Commerce website

Hi,
I have set up an e-commerce website that would be run via a dropshipping arrangement. However, I aim to turn into a big portal, with lots of articles, blogs and probably even a forum. The idea behind the content is that it would bring traffic to the website. I have been wondering whether or not I should use adsense on the website, so that I can monetise the content.
I aim to have two kinds of content on the website:
1.My own articles, blog etc, that would be keyword specific and hence help build traffic to my store.
2.Articles from free article databases, that would help monetise the traffic that the store would receive because of the keyword specific content.
I am however not sure if adsense is a good idea on a E-Commerce website and would like to have your views on this. Should I get rid of adsense completely and just focus on product sales? Should I replace adsense with a commission based program where potential customers would at least not go to competition?
Thanks

    This question has been asked again and again before. Nearly 100% of those involved in e-commerce would say it is a definite no. You should definitely not use it on your product pages.

    Hi,

    I have no intention of using it on the product pages. This question only applies to using it on the article, blog anf forum pages.

    I suppose you can try using it on other pages. There is a function in your Adsense account where you can filter out ads from your competitors.
