    I think it's not. There's a clear distinction between the ads and the image, and there's a line between them.

    You can add adsense near images but their is no problem if they are divided in seperate boxes . But do ask them before doing this . But according me its fine and teir is a limited gap with line .

    It quite possibly could be against the program policy. If users can click by accident because the placement is so well blended then you're at risk.

    There should not be any problem as there is clearly a line to demarcate the two. Moreover the two blocks clearly display 'Continue to game' and adsense part shows 'Sponsored links' So, that shouldn't be a problem.

    why not?? lol guys!!

    SPONSORED LINKS <------ against the Tos. they dont allow we write the title like that for their ads.

    Also, if you ask google staffs take a look at your site, they will tell you clear the title and make a big space seperate their ads with image.

    Regarding the pic and ads, it seems ok because theres a line seperating them.

    We're allowed to use ''sponsored links'' above adsense. That phrase is specifically mentioned as acceptable in their TOS.

    Pretty clever blending, but it looks like it's within the TOS because the first image doesn't look related to the ad at all. Wonder what the CTR rate is.

    ??? Wow... Have you read the TOS to say that "Sponsored Links" is against TOS?

    The site actually looks FINE. I never say 100% perfect to anyone, but it's damn close... clear distinction with the line separator and also the "Sponsored Links" title.

    Yes, I do agree with you i see that it's not against TOS

    But if you are not sure you can just ask google.
