Is this a violation?

Thanks for your opinion

Jamie

 

id safely say yes.

 

What do you think the violation is?

 

Other than violating my eyes with clashing colors, perhaps the arrows pointing to the ads? Or the labels such "grey parrot" directly above the ads.

Does not seem too overt a TOS, and I'm not certain it is, but it's still not something I'd be comfortable with on my site.

 

>> Other than violating my eyes with clashing colors
LOL that's great, yes the arrows might not be ok, although they seem to be a part of their CMS. (doesn't mean it's ok)

 

i just wonder what is this pic doing..there is no link...

 

It should be fine. I dont think its violating TOS.

 

the thing on the left is imitating google ads, could well be a violation.

 

nah that was me messing about.

 

My question would be the way they put the Google ads to the right in the boxes that have "African Grey Parrots" with an arrow pointing down as if those will link somewhere in the site.

 

That part isn't entirely legal, I thought there were only two phrases you could use (Google Ads or Sponsored By ..., something like that)

 

Correct. The only violation here is the headings and the arrows.

 

still violations nonetheless

 

Yep. Not as bad as some of the sites I saw yesterday in this forum, but still a big no no.
