    Can I edit the Adsense dimension to cut off "Ads by Google"?

    For example I have a 125 x 125
    google_ad_width = 125;
    google_ad_height = 125;

    and if I change the google_ad_height = 115;

    then the "Ads by Google" will not be displayed.

    Does Google allow this? Will clicks on the ad still count?

    Yes they will count, and your visitors will report you and then the clicks will be refunded to the adwords clients.

    I think u should not do it.
    Adsense TOS clearly says that u r not allowed to modify ad code in any way.

    I would not do it. It is not worth risking your account.

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I wonder why they make it so easy to customize / modify
    if you are not allowed to customize / modify the ad you select.

    They allow you to customize the ads color, size et cetera. My word of advice is, if it's not changeable on the ad setup page, don't change it.

    Because it's code. How else can they make it? No way to make it unmodifiable. It's in the TOS, modify the code, lose your account. Simple as that. Just be an honest webmaster.....why do you need to cheat it?

    google is very strict with its adsense TOS. any change in the generated code will result in your account being suspended. it is very important that you paly by the rules 100% or they will ban your account. google knows your every move, they are watching you...

    It's obviously against TOS. Never do that.
