The Google AdSense team is quite helpful and informative. You're free to set your site up however you like and then request a 'site check', where someone from Google will verify ad placement and let you know if you're in violation of the TOS or not. They will then give you a time frame (usually 30 days) to comply or risk removal from the AdSense program.

I've been using placement similar to this for almost 2 years, and I've had at least half a dozen 'site checks' performed. Each time I've been within Google's TOS. Stop assuming. Start reading.

lol. Can you post links of the sites you've build so we can actually see how your ads look like.

Thank you
