A Google AD right after the FIRST POST's TITLE ... Violation?

    Hello all!

    I'm using Wordpress and thought of inserting a Google AD right after the first post's title. Does it violates Google's TOS?

    I read somewhere saying that it DOES violates Google's TOS because the placement of the ad can make people to "accidentally" click those ads, or in other words:

    Could anyone clarify this?

    Thanks!

    It really depends on how close you place it to your title.. or how you layout the ads. Can you show us a screen shot or point us the url?

    Rather try placing them where the content ends. That will make it more clickable and on purpose. Means not accidentally.

    What I saw on this topic was regarding drop down menus that dropped down over the ads, causing accidental clicks. To be on the safe side it is always better to contact adsense and ask them to clarify for you.

    It's not violation, for that you watch that after your post in this forum the adsense is placed. If that would be violation than DP team wouldn't have place ads here.

    I don't have any screenshots at the moment, because I haven't implemented it yet!

    Anyway, I shall clarify with Google about this. Thanks for the replies everyone!
