What do you think about ads placement in my site?

Hi all,

I've recently changed the ads placement in my site aspnetsource.com.
I'm little worried that other site content links looks too much like the google ads, could I get ban from google about that?

Thanks in advance for all replies

 

that's just what they recommend. Blend it in with the content. You pulled it off perfectly.

 

Google has specifically forbidden this type of ad placement which makes the user belive that an ad is a part of navigation. you should at least change the background.

 

This is not blending, on the following page
http://adsense.blogspot.com/2008/03/another-look-at-optimizations.html
it is clearly written "2. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content." Which is not the case in given review

 

You need to keep your ads dissimilar at least something like background should be changed....

 

Thanks for all replies, the link to adsense blog was very useful. I changed the ads, it will reduce the number of clicks, but it's better than closing my account
