Have you ever changed size of link unit/

I know it's not allowed, but I needed a link unit to be 148x90. I was debating either increasing the size of the 120x90 version or decreasing the size of the 160x90 version. I chose the former, since it shouldn't block out any wider ads.

Has anyone done this? Did you get penalized? Does google really care?

 

yea google cares
dont do that

this wont change the font size of the links

if you want to place them in side bar put them in any size better the smaller

 

I never tried no, because that's not allowed, so I don't want to try since I'm not going to use it anyway.

 

well,
changing the adcode may ban your account. I suggest you not to do that.

 

once generated, you are not allowed to edit the source code

 

google takes things like this seriously..

i have faced it.. tweaking my friends account, we finally got it banned..

but we learnt lotsa stuff

anyways.. try to stay away from the adsense code..

 

Modifying the Google Ad codes is against the Google TOS. You must comply with the TOS if you wish to have a risk free environment for your Google AdSense account.

It's not worth it, all it will take is a competitor to report your website with the altered code.

 

Why not just pad a 120x90? You know, put some extra space around it but not change the actual adsense code...or am I missing something here?
