adsense emailed me, what does this mean?

    Google Adsense emailed me and said, " Additionally, we kindly ask that you refrain from placing Google ad code in lists with your site content."

    I'm pretty slow, can anyone explain to me what exactly did they mean by "in lists with your site content" ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe they mean something like this:

    List of cool software links:
    Windows
    Photoshop
    <your adsense ad>
    Microsoft Office
    Solidworks

    You must have integrated in the ads way too well.... within your links (it's against TOS because people might think it's part of your navigation).

    What was this in addition to? Must have been more than one thing that tripped their sensors (or caused someone to report the site)

    The addition was I put ads under the label which stated "Our Sponsors" They told me i can only state just "Sponsors or Advertisement."

    I wish they would say that in the policies rather than:


    For instance, to me, means that Sponsored Links (which is a bit different from what you were told) is just one of the ways they may be labeled and that there are at least a few other permissible terms that may be used.
