Just wondering if it is illegal / non-compliance of policies to hide 'Ads by Goooooogle' text. I have seen reputed sites like kijiji ( an ebay site) doing it. If allowed does anyone know a script that helps me doing it and also helps me hide my pub-id.
Premium publishers are allowed to hide these things with certain agreements, but us standard users have to display it, as per TOS.
You can hide it by adjusting the ad size in the Adsense codes but it's definitely against Google's TOS.
Its not allowed by google. But google is testing ads without "ads by google" text. i don't think kijiji is hiding the link , rather its google's test
I never knew about this thing until u mention, anyway, no harm displaying it. U might be able to turn it into adwords referrals. Who knows. I just got 100 from my adsense referral
you need atleast 20 million page views every month to get to google and ask them to grant you that permission. The process can take a very long time in most cases.
