Adsense Cracking Down Yet Again
The latest news from Google Adsense is that you should NOT be aggressively blending your ads.
They give you a couple examples, and it goes without saying that some Adsense placements I’ve shown you before fall under these restrictions! 
But as long as you aren’t using these tactics, you should be fine.

P.S. Make sure your Privacy Policy is updated, too.
I totally forgot to mention this crap that if you run Adsense, you have to add a long Privacy Policy to your site or else you’ll be breaking Google’s TOS. Instead of complying with these new terms, I decided to remove Adsense from quite a few of my sites…
But if you want to keep Adsense and be in compliance, here are a few good links:

Oh! Not again. I think they set this to serve their advertisers because advertisers would prefer visitors to click on their ads when they know it is an ad. This gives them better conversion but not us.
The only blending that I do is with the colours as this seems to work well…
I just hate it when they release info that’s a bit ambiguous. I suppose you can have an adsense block under the title as long as you’re text is wrapped around it.
Is it more strict?
It would be great if mighty Google would make up its mind about what the AdSense rules are rather then constantly changing them.
Have u ever visited Business.com?
I mean I literally used to click those ads left or right, by the dozen thinking they were part of the category.
Go ahead, take a look, the first few listings at the top of the page are Adsense Ads and they’re sort of disguised as listings in the directory.
Theres so many rules… I bet theres a big percentage which break TOS without knowing
There are a huge percentage of sites that break the TOS without realising it. If it is really that hard to maintain the usage of Adsense, then it is time to switch your Ads Publisher Platform. – Rif Chia
