I just received an email from Google that states the following...

"While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as http://www.karaoke-tutor.com/karaoke-recording.html.

Publishers are not permitted to encourage users to click on Google ads or bring excessive attention to ad units. For example, your site cannot contain phrases such as "click the ads," "support our sponsors," "visit these recommended links," or other similar language that could apply to the Google ads on your site. Publishers may not use arrows or other symbols to direct attention to the ads on their sites, and publishers may not label the Google ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements.""

After examining the page I cannot find any violations. Can you?

I would protect your account and email them back asking to be more specific as to what the problem is they have seen.

I certainly can, and so should you if you are going to keep your account live.
1. In the main area of the page you have the title

How To Record Live Karaoke Performances

The directly below that you have google ads. You are encouraging people to click on the google ads. The title needs to go BELOW the google ads not above them.

2. to the right you have a graphic above the ads saying

download free karaoke songs.

3. As 2 but different graphic mesage and link.

I know that the graphics are links to affiliate software, but they ARE drawing undue attention to those ads and WILL get your account switched off.

Part of the problem is that you are using borderless ads on the page, using borderless ads limits further how you can display the ads.

I would contact google with the above comments asking them if this is what theya re referring to. Be certain not to lay the law down, or to go in with 'I can't see anything wrong' etc as they will simply close your account.

be VERY humble and VERY sorry. Tell them you have asked some well known seo's etc on forums and this is what you have been advised. Tell them however that as you want to become a long term partner with adsense, you want to ensure that what you are doing is right.

THEN they will help you :-)

Hope this helps

OWG.

Also, in IE when you hover the ads they display your site url as the target.

I didn't know you could place the entire Google ad code in a homemage js file.
