Adsense & CSS

Hi

I read a CSS tutorial today and I learnt how to display a text or anything else at a determined absolute position on a page.
I also figured out how to add a php random function and the result was the displaying of Adsense at a random location in the page.

Question is: is this allowed?!? This is not a pop-up window. It's just CSS.
My first guess is NO. But, what if...? Anyway I wouldn't use it, unless Google specifically allows it.

Here's the source code if you want to play around with it:

<?php
$top=rand(0,600); $left=rand(0,600);
?>
<div align="center" style="position:absolute; top:<?php print $top;?>px; left:<?php print $left;?>px;>
***Adsense script***
</div>

Comments?

 

I think its not restricted coz you are not tempering with adsense code; just setteling location with PHP

 

Google replied:
"Thanks for checking with us first. This technique actually does violate
our policy to not obscure any text on the site. If your ad is randomly
placed on your site, then there is nothing preventing it from concealing
your site's content."
So, this technique is not allowed!

 

Thanks for getting back to us with the reply. Good to know.

 

hmm .. still can't see why is against their policy. it's just position mix. it's like in this moment I'm placing the ad in the top left an tomorrow I'm placing the same ad in the bottom of the page.

Edit: and now I see the last post was published in 2005 Maybe things have changed in the meantime ?
