    I've been trying to read the google terms but can't find anything that says this is not allowed.

    Can you have a leading text to the links. eg
    or how about a menu header like

    I think thats against the TOS. Only thing that you can have as a heading for adsense is 'Sponsored Links'..

    Labeling Ads

    Publishers may not label the ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements." This includes any text directly above our ads that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with Google ads.

    The first example breaks the TOS because it encourages the viewer to click an ad.

    The second example breaks the TOS because you can only have "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements" as a heading for the ads.

    EDIT: Too slow :).

    Quote: "and you can read more about them from the links below..."
    "[insert google adsense here] "

    You are telling the users to click on the AdSense ads. That's a breach of Google's TOS.
