    Nice blending, great site. Clean and comfortable.

    Getting traffic is the challenge. But I guess you can make it since this is not your first site.

    I agree, very nice blending work there. I know this might be nit picking but in the bottom left sidebar (Sponsored Links part) under your google ad links, you could shift over the "real" links below maybe 1-2 pixels over and reduce the text size by 1pt, they'll be perfectly aligned and blended.

    Otherwise, good job!

    I don't think that last detail is ok. In the "Sponsored Links" section, surely you should separate the ad unit from other links, which now appear like being part of the Google unit. This can confuse users.

    From the program policies:

    When in doubt, you might ask AdSense Support directly.

    I see your point, thanks for showing me this. I have been toying with the idea of putting an image in between the two link sets please tell if it looks good or should I take a different strategy?

    In your last design, there not seems to be much confusion, but the current guidelines from AdSense Support about images next to ads require a visible differentiation, such as a border between ads and images, etc.

    To be sure in your specific case, it would be better to contact Support directly. (See the Contact Us link in the AdSense Help).

    MMM, I have contacted them in the past about such an issue and thier response was kind of vague, leaving me thinking I should be the one deciding from their tos if it is appropriate or not :confused:
