my blending technique - Making Ads looks like something else

Here is a new ad format for you :

	<table border="0" width="157" height="643" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background-image: url('ad_bg.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left top">
	<tr>
		<td height="643" width="157" valign="top" style="padding-left: 20px; padding-top: 14px">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-[ID]";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "2597B3";
google_color_bg = "2597B3";
google_color_link = "FFFFFF";
google_color_text = "FFFFFF";
google_color_url = "CCCCCC";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

</td>
	</tr>
</table>

Thank you so much .

 

Well, here's one of the ways. The site isn't up yet, but I figured I'd show you how I took your idea and used it.



This will eventually be the top of every page. I was going to put a search box in the white space, but I couldn't get it to line up properly in both IE and Firefox.

 

Hi,
can you give me the image please?
no image found.
thank you
bye

 

I love this thread... We've got questionable practices, to which no consistent answers abound!

Black hat vs. White hat Adsense!!!!

Wow, interesting topic, i guess it's a rather fine line here. I have some pictures besides my ads, with a border so hopefully google don't get annoyed and start to complain.
