Saw this on digg and it seems that nobody has posted it here yet. Interesting article, not sure how accurate it is though, opinions?
It's generic. The guy doesn't even follow his own tips...the ads on the left don't even come close to blending it.
The ones that are most important in his spam-article are No Border Ads, Text Ads are better than image ads, and relevant content.
If you want to make your adsense ads look less like an ad, disable the "advertise on this site" feature from your adsense account so that the message doesn't appear in your adsense display.
You are not allowed to use words like Google or AdSense in your domain name. DP members who have such domains were warned for using AdSense on those sites. I would recommend you to remove ads from such domains immediately.
You can remove the "Advertise On This Site". Google Allows It. http://www.themostclicks.com/adsense/advertise.html The site this thread is talking about is doing some other illegal stuff. 1. adsense in URL 2. #10 more or less asks people to click ads. 3. This site was obviously made for adsense.
Sorry my bad, I thought we were talking about "Ads by Google" (Note to Self: Don't skim read), . Yeah I always take the ""Advertise on this Site" link off, it screams "this is an ad - don't click me" but on the down site you don't get advertisers looking into advertising on your site.
Thanks. Looks like I did learn something from this thread. I'm still waiting for the "Advertise On This Site" to disappear. Let's hope my CTR improves
