Adsense Format Question?

[BonkerBids]

Is this adsense format O.K. with adsense TOS. Take a look at the link below. In the right column under navigation there is an "adds by google" section. They are just 1 line links to different sites that appear like a navigation list. Is this O.K. with adsense TOS.

Anybody know of another site that does this but may have a list of like 20 links long? Just want to see what it looks like if it is O.K. with adsense TOS.

yes it's ok. That is what they are meant to be used for ;). Only one per page though so you couldn't have 20 links...

Thanks Scilynt, but could you clarify something for me. You said "Only one per page though so you couldn't have 20 links...", but the page I referenced has 4 links like this I think. Is that group of 4 links considered 1 instance per page, and is 4 the max number of links you can have in that type of google ad?

[Scilynt]

Yeah the "block" starting at "ads by google" down through the 4 blue links is one ad block. You can only have one of these per page. I believe you have have 4 or 5 links and you don't choose them, they are contextual like all other google ads. You can also do the horizontal version which works well with some sites.

To set them up go to your adsense setup page, choose "adsense for conent", Then the "Link Unit" option to choose your options. You can get a better idea of the various looks of them here under "link units": https://www.google.com/adsense/adformats

Thanks again Scilynt, that clears it all up for me very nicely.

and what about the three large rectangular that he has on the frist fold of the page.
is this also acceptable by google.
i guess so. lot of myspace resource sites are using large rectangulars to blind the vistors.
i am really scared to do this but am sure will get better CTRs and CMPs.
