    I have the following website:



    Because I use Iframes, the google ads are not very acurate with what kind of information to show.

    So, to get more acurate ads, I add a black box at the bottom of the page with some related keywords... is that against the TOS?

    Thank you

    Are you hiding the keywords? If so it violates the TOS. It looks like that is what you did so you are breaking the TOS.

    You can't stuff your site with keywords just to make good ads appear. This is clearly against the TOS if you re-read it again. It's also somewhat black hat SEO... too..

    Nothing I can add to the above answers (I concur with them completely) other than to add my weight to the vote.

    Here is a thought. Instead of breaking the TOS, why don't you redo your site so it does not use iframes, then you will get better ads. When I looked at it it would not be hard to do.
