Just trying few things.. I know it is against Google TOS to show pics with Adsense. But what about the following?
Yeah, I would to ask adsense team, to be sure. Nobody knows how they can qualify something like this.
Looks okay to me too - not even Google could say you can't put your Auction Ads next to AdSense.... or could they?
Loks okay to me, but you may want to drop them a mail just to make sure. No one can really say outside of Google
Should be ok...Google objects only when pics are placed in such a manner that they are mistaken to be associated with the ads. Still if you have doubt, ask Google...it's their view that finally matters.
