This is a bit off topic but I thought I'd share. I was looking at a blog today and saw the categories in the sidebar. It was a Disney and Orlando site. After a few lines of "hotels" "rental cars" and so on, I noticed the rest of the links looked a bit different.

I then noticed that the guy had made his adsense code colors and font blend in with his category text. So the links that said "disney" orlando" and so on was actually google adsense links!

I thought that was pretty clever, I bet he gets lots of clicks that way.

burring adsense links within the navigation, clever -

Lets face it we don't like clicking on ads so placing the links as navigation gets the clicks but I wonder if that doesn't break one of G webmaster rules by hiding ads like this, after all it is a bit sneaky

NOT clever.

If he's discovered, at best G will permanently pull his AdSense account. More than likely they'll pull it, and not pay out.

It is against the AdSense TOS to disguise the links in any way, and to not clearly show the ads are coming from Google.

I did wonder if that didn't break a rule or two
