    Google AdSense: You have 3 working days to make changes to your site

    Hello,

    During a recent review of your account we found that you are currently
    displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our program
    policies
    (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-1pp-en).

    --------------------------------------------------
    EXAMPLE PAGE:
    [Random page from my SheToldMe.com site, where I had the Google AdSense logo near my own logo at top left of screen, where there is now written 100%]

    Please note that this URL is an example and that the same violations may
    exist on other pages of this website or other sites in your network.

    VIOLATION(S) FOUND:

    GOOGLE BRAND VIOLATION: As stated in our program policies, AdSense
    publishers are not permitted to make prominent use of "Google Brand
    Features" on sites displaying Google ads. This includes any sites that
    attempt to create a false association with Google or use Google trademarks
    in the URL. More information about this policy can be found in our help
    center
    (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105952).


    REQUESTED ACTION: Please make all necessary changes in the next 72 hours.

    If the violations are corrected within the aforementioned time period, ad
    serving will not be affected. If changes are not made and/or other policy
    violations are encountered during the review process, ad serving will be
    disabled to your site.

    ACCOUNT STATUS: ACTIVE

    Your AdSense account remains active. However, if we continue to find
    problems, we may disable your entire account. Therefore, we suggest that
    you take the time to review the rest of your network to ensure that all of
    your other pages are in compliance with our policies.

    --------------------------------------------------
    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Sincerely,

    The Google AdSense Team

    Finally I've replaced the "google adsense" with "100%" and it's fine I never heard of them again and they haven't disabled the ads on the site. Perhaps next time..
