Is this allowed?

Well, I'm re-coding my website, and trying to optimize for CTR. Here is what I came up with:


Is that against adsense ToS in any way?

 

OH come on...you just wanted to post a big picture of a Led Zeppelin album. You don't care about our suggestions Not that there is anything wrong with posting a Led Zeppelin album.

Seriously though, I think Google would have a problem with your "blending."

 

I would strongly second that. In fact, if I were a betting man I'd be putting out some pretty good odds on it.

It's well done...but it's done to the point of deception.

 

I was reading the terms, and I don't really see which rules I'm breaking. I'm not arguing with you guys, but can you please point out a specific rule. Also I was thinking of changing the border and bg color to each unit to be different from white - that would definitely make it non deceptive, and users would still read the ads as if they were results (at least I think so). Any ideas?

 

G' doesn't like ads that are TO well blended.

Example:
- Blend add in with a article = OKAY
- Blend add to look exactly like your content, navigation, etc. = BAD


Bad explanation but I hope you understand.
