    Hi, i am running a site with shopping guides for online shopers. It's not an english site but it is supported by google adsese.

    I seached a lot, asked a few people, red on the adsense blog ... but i am still confused about my site's header.

    My question is: am I violatig the TOS by placing ads near pictues.
    The google blog says: that you should not LINE UP the images with the ads ( i think that they are not) and that you should not suggest to the visitors that if they click on the ads they will get to a page / product linked to the image near it ( i guess the fact that the ads backgound color is dif. from the picture's back. and that there is quite a big distance between them sugests that they are not "linked" )
    however, some say I might get banned cause of this...
    i wrote a mail to adsense, but no reply till this moment...

    any help is apreciated

    my url is: ecomarket [dot] ro

    i think this is a violation because it looks like the adverts are advertising the pictures above, but in the end of the day its not my decision so you SHOULD email adsense support and ask them.

    hi, thanks for your reply...

    I am still confused. So i decided to remove all the pictures from the header till I get a clear message from adsense.
    However, I already wrote a mail to an no replay till this moment ( they work realy slowly )
    Can I e-mail or is there any "international" support cause the help center makes me mad and I was't able to find other mail adresses than the romanian one.

    So I would apreciate if you would write down some adsense support mail addreses. Thanks a lot
