    Particular CPR almost too good - questions on TOS

    Hi folks,

    I have been getting outrageously good CPR on an ad displayed in the postbit here, for guests only.

    To the point of "This has to be too good to be true". I know it's against AdSense's TOS to "disguise" ads, but I don't think this is hidden at all - just blended in with my theme like the rest of my ads.

    In your opinion, is this violating anything? Or is it just a really good spot? I added the black border recently to make it stand out and look more "ad-ish", but only because I really want to abide by the rules and not get removed.

    If it's within the TOS, then I recommend doing something like this because it's 250% better than my old top channel.

    might be class as violating due to blending..

    just change the colour of the background,

    imo it will make it stand out more aswell.....

    just make sure you choose a nice colour, maybe a lighter grey...

    good luck

    regards.

    IMO, its within the TOS, but you should get an official answer from google.

    i guess it all depends on what you're used to, but even at 31 clicks, i'd be pulling it.

    if a channel doesn't produce 100 + a day, while not taking from other channels, it gets the boot from me.

    I get significantly less clicks than you do, apparently, heh. My top channels are usually 15 clicks. Not every site is as busy as yours.
