I just realized one of my templates has a background image with square dots running along the side of the main content including the adsense banner... like this : my second compliance question is, within my content as you can see in the image im directing users to an "APPLY" button just below my adsense banner, the wording there would be compliant i assume?
cant give out url... too much of a risk. Basically the area with the blocked out red is a google banner. to the left there is a small square in my design (wondering if that is violating TOS) and above the ad there is a sentence saying "Please see Apply below" indicating users to scroll down and click Apply on the site. Im wondering if these two things are misleading to users/against tos
From what you've given us, the "Apply" could be a very big problem. The fact that you're questioning whether it's misleading, probably means it is, and that's a TOS violation.
