Is it allowed to put adsense like this?

    I found this site with adsense on it: http://www.dreamsmeaning.co.uk/ and think it's probably not allowed to put the ads under a heading like Links, or is it ok?

    It is ok, but I can see four ad-boxes. As I remember, Google allows max of three ad-boxes

    The one under Links isn't an ad box, they're those Google text ads. If you put too many ad boxes in the extra ones simply don't show.

    Ok, I've found some relevant info, which I think this falls under:
    Encouraging accidental clicks

    Publishers are not permitted to encourage users to click on Google ads in any way. This includes implementing the ads in a way that they might be mistaken for other website content, such as menu, navigation, or download links.

    Misleading labels

    Directly or indirectly encouraging users to click Google ads is not permitted by our program policies. This would include placing misleading labels such as:

    "Related links"
    "Recommended sites"
    "My favorite sites"
    "Latest news"

    @Astroman, what he meant was that you're only allowed 3 ad units per page (regardless of type). And yes, you can't do anything to deceive people or encourage clicking. You also need to be careful when changing colors not to blend the ads into the page too much because they're not fans of that either. IMO too many restrictions and ways to get your account killed for Adsense to be worth it.

    I'm pretty sure you can have three ad blocks, and a separate google text ad.

    The ads are ok, but as Astroman pointed out, the labelling of them is misleading.

    I would suggest you read the Google Adsense Terms and Conditions properly, because if you break one of their terms, they tend to suspend you for life.

    The ads are clearly against Google's TOS. I think "sponsored links" would be permitted but I need to check that. If it is a text link then in terms of numbers it is allowed.
