would this violate the TOS?

    I am thinking of making a "work safe" version of my site. Which will show a white page, some nave links and the google ads.

    Just wondering if the layout below would cause issues

    ----------------
    Google ads
    ....links...
    google ad links

    content
    _________________

    so essentially having the navigation links between a google ad and the adlinks. Would this violate TOS, They will all be blended to the background of white as well

    I don't think that should violate TOS. But better advice can only be given after seeing your final site.

    ok cool.

    I will set up a mock site and let you know.

    Essentially waht I am worried about is that some users whilst tryingto click the navigation may inadvertently click the adverts which is obviously not a person wanting to click on it.

    I guess if there is any doubt in my mind I should just ere on the side of caution

    You see, you are not tricking anyone to click on the ads. As long as you are not doing that, its cool.

    No I am not. But am I drawing undue attention to them by having a banner and a link unit on either side of the navigation

    Don't worry. Since you are just placing the ads and the ads do say "ads by google". So, there you go!
