    Photoshop dont let me put dropshadow on a transparent gif.

    In case anybody wonders:

    Google says about this design:

    "Thanks for your email. Your current implementation on *******.com
    is in compliance with our program policies."

    You don't have to ask them on the first place, it is just a background image lol .
    You can use dropshadow on transparent images, so how I did it ~_^

    I prefer to ask if I am the slightest in doubt, I have asked them before where i thought I was in compliance, but it turned out that I was not, so better safe than sorry :)

    I am shure you can use dropshadow on transparent images, but how do you do it? I dont expect a tutorial, but could you point me in the right direction.

    Guys, should we use it or not? Chowbow says it was approved while thilak says it was reconfirmed to be against the TOS. Please advise :)

    Wissam: Thanks for the brilliant blending :)

    I believe this would be against the TOS because it mau bring attention to the ads. Also, it would be better to give tips of this nature after confirming with Google that everything is per the TOS.

    Maybe thilak was talking to the people who kept asking about CTR? I am pretty sure it is against the TOS to share your CTR am I wrong?

    "Thanks for your email. Your current implementation on *******.com
    is in compliance with our program policies."

    That is pretty sexy. I don't know if it will hurt or help CTR, but it definitely looks good.

    This is the type of thing that I would stick up and if google has a problem with it, they'll let me know. They have done that in the past with other issues that were 'more sticky' than this one.

    Question to wissam: Can I hire your services?
