Well, forgive me if I don't value your opinion, .....and who assumes Google only allows one ad per page (They allow up to 3, plus up to 2 search units and 1 link unit on each page.)[/i]

more than Google's ToS. I think I'll be safe and go with Google on this one. ;)

Implementing google ads like you did here into your forum IS a violation of the ToS.
It is tricking the user to click.
Even if you name the user Google does not change this.

This was debated over and over in different webmaster forums and google was asked and said NO.

If you are using this hack contact google and ask them if they are ok with this.
If they are you are lucky if they are not change it and keep your account ;)

When did i assume this? i said your only displaying one ad which isnt against googles TOS i never said you cant display anymore than one did i?

Chavmagnet & Musicman, I have edited you posts slightly, please take your personal differences elsewhere.

Can this be used with adbrite as well?

I wouldnt use this hack. It violates the TOS.

You may get banned from adsense. period.

It will not get you banned from Adsense. Period.

Sites like digitalpoint.com use similar things.

You couldn't be more wrong. Just because one site uses it doesn't mean everyone else can. Maybe sitepoint got specific permission to use something at their site, but Google retains and often practices the right to deny other sites the same privileges. Or perhaps they might be in violation and Google hasn't seen it and dished out any penalties yet. I'm not saying this is the case, but you never know. I for one am sick and tired of so many people claiming to have some authoritative knowledge of Adsense, SEO, and Google's guidelines. The average forum owner sees your post and thinks you must be right since you're so adamant about it, but anyone with an ounce of experience can see your logic is very flawed. So until people stop misleading others, you can bet I'll be here to provide a more realistic and cautious view.
