more specifically: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/stepcarousel.htm NOT the version that scrolls automatically, the second one that you press the button to advance divs. If an Adsense square was in one of those divs, would that be against TOS?
Uh, yes it does....Suggest checking out the Program Policies page. It specifically lists the following as verboten! Place ads in a floating box script. Check under Encouraging Clicks here: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=48182
Why? The div is not floating, it's on the same page. If you did it cleverly enough it may be OK but you should ask first just to be safe
Then by all means try it, I've asked, it IS against TOS, but go ahead and try it if you're clever. Being on the same page has nothing to do with whether or not the div is floating. By doing that, you are altering the delivery of the ad and you WILL be banned.
