    i've been trying to make it look so the adds are a part of my website but i can't get the color just perfect. is there anyway to make the background of each ad transparent? suprising to me that google doesn't have an option. they have an open air pallette but that is with a white background.

    Racists! what about all the black websites!!

    Yeah, the only way to make it transparent is to set the background to the same colour.

    No you can't do that with adsense, you can do it via CSS in general.

    CSS code for transparent background/text:

    <h1 style="color:white;width:100%;filter:alpha(opacity=0);-moz-opacity:1.0;opacity:0;font-size:8px;line-height:2em;text-align:center;">
    Your Text Here</h1>

    Dont make the background transparent via CSS or you will get banned.

    Google requires its logo and text to be clearly visable, its text and logo automatically changes on the colour background you choose. They will not allow transparent backgrounds because then they would have no control over this!

    i guess the best option is to do just the opposite--make alot of contrast with ads

    is not possible because the "ads by google" text will be masked in some color combinations, the "ads by google" is changing when you change the backround ( white to black ) they will not allow this .

    Match the back ground color with you site's back ground color.
