Adsense placement reminders

The adsense blog has posted placement minders.

Quote:

1. Ads shouldn't be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads.
For example, ads shouldn't be placed under titles such as “Dallas Business Opportunities” or “Today's Hot Deals”. Placing ads directly below titles such as these implies to your users that the links in the ads are publisher-created content.

Quote:

2. Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content.
Similarly, you should not place an ad unit by a group of links that has identical colors and line spacing. Doing so may cause users to think the ad unit is content created by you. In this situation, we recommend using a different color for the ad titles or indenting the ad unit to help distinguish the ads from your own content.

Quote:

As you can imagine, users who click on ads that they think are publisher-created content may lose trust in your site and decide not to return in the future. It's important to keep their interests in mind, as well as your own.

All very public spirited, or is there an ulterior motive. Maybe Google's going to clamp down on this.

Thank for this information.

I think most user eyes begin in top left corner or middle top, then move to center of browser window. I use text only because I feel that it's a lot easier to control the looks of your site if you just use Text ads. Anywhere, it will depend on your website.

they have deffinitely acted on these guidlines. One of my sites got banned from adsense due to adding irrelevant images near my adsense ads.
