    Can anyone find anything that might make my site against the google TOS. I read them over but its hard to interpret it sometimes. Are my images okay next to the ads? Do I even need to have a border there? Is there anything else that would make my site against the TOS. Thank you very much.

    The images and the ads seem to be fine but there is no content.

    I doubt the border would hurt your ctr. You need content, sites made purely for adsense are breaking the tos.

    I need some borders like that, how do you make them ?

    I would suggest more content too. Your menu items at the top do not work and just have a # there.

    Be aware that this site is only 1 day old. Of course there is no contenst because I have been spending my entire time working out the styling. This is not a made for adsense site there will be loads of content, I just wanted to get the styling down. Now I can add tons of content today. I want to actually make this site great because its my only website. I made this border by simply making a 1px line in mspaint and positioning it into my page. Thanks all who posted.

    The link unit at top is really tricky, it may be illegal depending on the people which reviews (if someone reviews that).

    And id confusing for your users, I dont like sites which make me click ads when I think I am going to another page of the site.

    The link units at the top of the site are related to my site so it makes sense for them to look like a navigation bar. I emailed G on the subject, hopefully they get back to me today.

    I think for a "rough" looking page.... the blending is spot on.

    The nav at the top is excellent but I'd suspect Brother G might have a slight problem with it because it's calling attention to it.

    The images on the left hand side along with the descriptions are fine.. anyway to add small type url so it matches the ads on the right?

    More content needed but your blending is perfect...your CTR should be superb.

    What do you mean by more content? If you mean more videos then you should know that I will be adding hundreds of videos to this site within the next few weeks. If you mean text content then i dont know how to do that because my site is a video site. I just wanna get my styling down first. Thanks.

    Ill see how it works like it is now first. It would take me hours to add that in because I sort of suck at html. It would probably throw off how the page displays in firefox because once again Im no pro at html/xhtml. Thanks anyways. I will keep that idea in mind.

    There doesn't seem to be enough content on that site, so I'd say it's against the TOS.

    good sit but write some content say about animation industry, describe few things about 2d-3d animations.This makes your sit \e content-rich and search engine friendly because SE need content to give to their users.

    I think it's great i even had problem with finding ads on your site, but my question is why there is so much white space under main content?

    I just got an respose from Big G.

    "I have looked at your site and it currently complies
    with our program polices."

    Okay, sweet. Now all I have to do is add a few hundred pages of content + advertise. The reason there is a ton of space under my pages is that I dont really know what I am doing 100% yet with html. My first earnings will be going towards someone to fix that problem and a few others. Thanks all who posted, this is great. I think I can make some decent money off this site. DP Rocks! Now its time to get to work...

    The link unit on top you laced is very nice. I wonder if it's against the google TOS or not?
