    would it be wrong to have google ads and links that you have traded with other partners all put into the same area under a banner labeled logo if not clear on what im asking take a look at the bottom of the page on this url http://www.offroadingnation.com/true.php

    when you say "mixed" with other links, I would say yes, that would be wrong. Google makes it clear that they do not want publishers displaying adsense in a way that makes the visitor think it's NOT an ad.

    I think we would have to see and example - maybe you could produce this anomaly, and take a quick screenshot of it, remove it and then show us - be careful not to inadvertantly click your ads when you do it

    I wouldn't think it would be against TOS. Just make sure if you use the links ads there is some seperation between the other links you might have. I think this is why they made the links the way they did.

    Yeah should be fine to put them there with other ads as long as they are not CONTEXTUAL ads. However I would change the TERM "Advertisments" to "sponsored links" The latter is an approved term by google.

    Now onto the next issue puting them where you ask is a very bad place for the CTR. Anything you actually want clicked should be "above the fold". I would reccomend puting the google ads just below "Tru3 Gam3r" and above "Home"
