Hi Guys, I am going to design a new theme for my tech blog and need some idea about adsense placement from you all. Well, it's actually about the image at the right side of 300x250 ad block. I was stumbled upon to SlashGear.com tech blog and find their Google ads placement interesting (the single post permalink view). They put the 300x250 ads below title and inside a gray box with the right side a thumbnail image with user voting system. I wonder if that type of placement is valid for newbie publisher who doesn't get millions of page view each month? Or there is a special permission needed?
