...I was wondering if I could get your views on an idea to improve CTR. But let me preface this all by saying that I think this is a bit too close to the edge (or might be way over it) but I'd still like to get your thoughts.

The idea....

Short intro paragraph introducing the page.

Then a comment which might say either:
a) read on for more information on 'keyword'; or
b) look below for more information on 'keyword'
something like that anyway...

Then the adsense, then more information.

This feels a bit cheap and nasty to me, but as I said, would be great to get your views.

Am I being too prudish? Or are my thoughts already in the gutter?

Thanks in advance

I use "article continued below" to signal a break in the content followed by the ad (no keywords mention though, like you). It's ok with G.
