    I came across this site aand was wondering if adding own text into, or on top of the ad block was allowed.
    I think it is misleading but is the site owner breaking the google TOS ?

    The site is: machovideo.com/index.php?start=60

    you can have your own text or title for the ad blog saying sponsored results or something along that line which will be fine. you cannot however say click here or something that tells or encourages people to click on the ads

    yes thanx....what Im saying is that the site owner is misleading visitors by stating that the ads are the " Most Popular External Video Of Today " but the fact is that the visitors are being told to click on vids instead of sponsored results or the such. Strange that this should be allowed.

    this is better IMO, i put a block of 4 photos above my adsense on the bottom of my search results page.

    i can't post links yet, but if you want to check it out - do a search on my site and then scroll to the bottom

    Hi Seminar..im looking at your text. At least you are not misleading your site visitors...although I must say that 3 rows of horizontal google ads may be "Stretching" your luck a bit ( excuse the bad pun ) ;-)
