    Hey all...

    Check out the menu on the left site of the website where there are "Ads by google" .

    http://www.funnymovies.net/movies/

    Seems to be like part of the menu, wonder if it's allowed...

    What do you think ?

    Guy.

    I'm pretty sure that breaks the TOS, because that placement is extremely misleading.

    That's true. But those website make a lot of money for google, I don't think it's worth banding them...

    I can't really see a problem with it. Its just another way of blending in the text.

    Blending in the text can be very missleading, don't you think ?

    Misleading they may be, but I "Think" That's how the big money is made.
