Some Nicely Blended Adsense Ads
Here’s what you’ve been waiting for - an example of Adsense ads that are totally blended into a website’s design!
Did I do it? Nope. I was just kidding about getting banned from Adsense. I’d prefer to keep my account. 
All I did was find someone that was breaking Google Adsense TOS.
Here’s the screenshot:
(Clicking the picture brings up a larger version.)
Do you see the ads? No, not the squares in the middle. I’m talking about the ad links in the left navigation menu. You wouldn’t notice the ads at all if it weren’t for the “Ads by Google” hiding in the corner.
I blurred out the logo to protect the innocent, but I hesitate to say innocent - this site is owned by one of the popular internet “gurus.” Even better, this guy is an Adsense guru.
Is he behind the times? Does he have a special relationship with Google? Is he hoping he doesn’t get caught? Is this placement alright if it’s an ad link unit?
Whatever it is, I’m pretty sure this technique will cause visitors to click the ads thinking they are navigation links. And Google doesn’t like that.
