Big Money Tips points to an interesting use of Adsense on a site. It is a fine line as to what these guys are doing with their third ad on the page which is very blended into the site and almost invisable at a first glance (there are three ads on the page – all quite different in their presentation). As Big Money Tips writes – is this superior or shady use of Adsense?
To me this is just good ad placement. I see no deception. It’s not labeled as something that it’s not. I don’t see how someone can confuse these ads as part of the navigational scheme when the phrase “ads by google” is in plain sight.
