Google Email - Adword ads are blocking content

Anyone else ever received this?

This evening I received an email from Google's Adsense support stating that they had received feedback that Google Adword ads were blocking content on my site.

Now I don't do this on purpose, but to what extent are we to take into account all the possible browser/resolution combos that can screw around with a website? I have asked them to provide me some details, atleast something that points to which of my sites were causing the problem. Hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Has anyone else been through this?

Yes. Just wait for their reply to your email with examples and don't worry about it too much if it's a rare case. I've been through it twice and Google basically ends up with the message, "Just wanted to give you this user feedback. Do what you want with it."

My site's problem is that if you window IE, then shrink the horizontal size of the window, eventually you get to a point past where it adds a horizontal scroll-bar and sometime after that the Adsense Iframe starts overlaying the content.

I've got a CSS expert working on the problem (My sites are all rendered as straight html w/external CSS), but so far no luck.

As long as it's the ads on top of the content and not the content on top of the ads, it's considered a nuisance rather than a TOS violation.

Sounds like a problem we had where long words overlapped (actually underlapped) the adsense ads in rare instances. We also got an email from google. We added the following within the <HEAD> to solve it:
