    Hi,

    Can you please review the adsense ad placement for various pages on the arcade site http://www.startspellen.nl/ ?
    I've received a warning from Google about de images next to the Ads. I don't know why, because I added a border between the images and the Ads. But they say that the rules about placing images next to the ads were changed sharper. :confused:

    maybe your images and ads are "too blend".

    i actually impress with ur website theme and the ads placements also.
    Maybe the adsense team thinks that ur website create too many misleading on the ads by place adsense there.

    What else to say when google adsense team says that?

    p.s: hope you can ask google and paste the result here |o|

    Well, your orange border is not really a separation between images and ads. It looks more like an integration and may mislead the user to think that the images are part of the ads.

    My advise is listen to Google and remove the border. Place instead a vertical bar that takes all the height of the ad unit and unmistakably separates the images and the ads.

    Hope it helps you. Don't risk to be banned. Does not worth :)

    I took a deeper look into your site. I realized that your images/ads combination are very similar to your real content units. They may mislead your users to click the ads thinking erroneously that they are part of your site, not an external advertising provider.

    Thanks all for the support!

    I've got a message back from Google. They say that the images now looks like a part of the ads. This could be confused by visitors of the site, they think that the ad is part of the site (also what carlinhos says).
    Google does appreciate it, when I delete the images from my site.
    There goes my good CTR....:(
