Link Text Color w/ Background

    On one of my sites, I have a section on the sidebar with a blue background. The color of the adsense link URL is a darker blue. It's definitely readable, but could I be punished by Google for something like this?

    If it is readable, they wont ban you. And if you make it too much like the background, it will automaticly make the color black (or white) anyway.

    Okay, thanks. I just tried a black url and it looks ugly so I'll go back to the way I had it before.

    ad blending is allowed but should not lead to click fraud
