Just got an email from the Google Adsense department informing me i am in violation of their policies of one of my sites. Here's the main passage: I'll just add that i havent disguised the ads in anyway nor do i use images next to the ads. I do however have one adblock that is right-aligned inside the review articles but that is something that they encourage. I emailed them back requesting specific directions on how to resolve the violation because other than removing the ads altogether i don't know.
I will advise u not to take any risk , They are more strict now , remove all the images even if they do say it is ok . Dont do too much blending .
There is a fine line between 'disguised' and 'blended' - 'disguised' is a well-blended ad in a location that makes it look like part of a menu selection, or a forum post. "Blended" just means the colors match the rest of the site, etc. .
I've just received a reply from the Adsense team telling me the email was sent in error and that the site in question does infact fully comply with the adsense policies.
Are you serious? I'm using VB Ad mangement Hack on my site to display ads as forum threads but haven't got any email from them yet
I'm always worried that I use too much blending. But there is nothing else I could do cause I have decent number of page visits but miserably low revenue. I maybe gone too far with blending on my homepage, but I wrote them an email and wait the response...
