Does this tempelate follows the Google AdSense rules?

    As far as I know Google ask us (the webmasters) NOT to have images around Google AdSense blocks.

    Please do check my site www.mahiegill.com

    In the second side bar you will see BANNER SPOT #4 which is right below an image though that image nowhere encourages the reader to click on ads. I was planning to place a google adsense ad in that spot.

    Any problems??

    Hopefully I am not creating the thread in the wrong section. Please mods don't give me infractions if I am doing so..

    Thanks in advance everybody

    The images are loading too slow and I found that the very first image looks too wide, check it.

    i just now checked the site on a computer on which it hasn't been loaded even once yet and it took 15 seconds for the complete site too load.
    That image is wide as it is thumbnail which gets distorted somewhat...

    what I wanted to know does the AD SPOT 4 follow the google adsense guidelines as it is situated below an image???

    possible as far as you remove that click here image because that click here image may be like tricking the users to click the ads..

    pcshop899's right on removing the 'Click Here' words. But really, I wouldn't put adsense there because it just isn't an optimal spot.

    Banner Spot#3 and inside actual post content are far better for CTR ;)

    Banner placement looks okay to me. You have dividers between, so....

    Also, if you want a site review, you're in the right place. If you want Google Adsense Placement Reviews from Digital Point, go here.

    Remember, no coaxing on clicks to your visitors. ;)

    PS. I think you have a pretty nice site going there.

    PSS. I would put a (unique) channel code on each of those banner spots so you can check how they are converting later on.
