    thoughts on leaderboard ads under 'featured photos'

    I've seen plenty of sites that have PhotoPost type "featured photos" strip with an adsense leaderboard ad right under it. The ads are usually positioned right under each thumbnail so they look like captions for the photos.

    Does anybody here have this sort of setup? How does it perform? Do your members complain? And finally - is this against TOS?

    I do it, have done it for a while now on a few sites, it makes a HUGE difference in click-thrus, and as long as the images have some type of border that separates them from the ads it's not against the TOS.

    OK so next question: did you guys just customize the templates yourself or is there a handy dandy how-to or plugin?
