Ha ha ha the niche kw... almost fooled me ... and the color blending is very good.. 90% chances of been clicked.. the other 10 % would be smart webmaster say a 7 on 10
its nice blending but its little on the gray side of TOS violation. If I were you i would check with google adsense team about this blending. You can never be to careful nowdays. good luck with the site
added to my list of future blending. I can see 2 ads's: 336x280 on top right, and an block of links. is there another?
That kind of blending is NOT allowed, your links are to similar to adsense link unit (sam color) which can trick the visitor to your site.This is not allowed ,adsense links are the same color of your site links(not allowed). I am tlaking from my experence i blend my ads like you a while back and google send me warning message that content is to similar to ads Quote: Thanks for your response. While reviewing your site, we found that the site content is formatted to resemble the Google ads on the page. We feel that the manner in which the ads and content are implemented on the site may cause confusion for your users. Because of this, we kindly ask that you change this implementation to avoid confusion. I hope that I help you a little.
The TOS violation is simple, regardless of the magnificent blending effect. "Relevant Niche Keywords" is NOT an acceptable header to be placed directly above the ad unit...period. Please go back and read the TOS agreement again- it is clearly stated what type of wording you can and cannot place above the ad units. As for the adsense links being the same color as the rest of the links on the page, that isn't true. We are certainly allowed to have the links the same color. Look around on most any site that is well blended.
If I had your site I would be very worried that Google would ban me tomorrow. But then I wouldn't have your site because I can't figure out what it's about. Sorry.
That is good blending but its so far down on the page. I didnt even notice it at first. For the Box ad on the top right make a table for it to go in like the table to the left of it.
I have asked adsense support to review ti. I think same rule doesn't apply on adlinks. Because adlinks have "Ads by Google" on top which is not right on top on adblocks.So there might be any exception.
I've never seen this before. So it is not ok now to make your content look like google ads? Maybe this is one of those case by case basis things?
For followup Google replied to remove "Relevant Niche Keywords" and also put break between ads and links. Second point is new for me to separate ads from links.
