TIPS FOR BOOSTING YOUR INCOME WITH ADSENSE
I thought it was pretty cool :)
they love me...they really love me :)
At first i was excited, i thought it was a gift or something, but then i saw it was a useless way of Google to bleed some cash.
Currently i am using it to prop up one leg on a shifty patio table outside. Works well for tasks like this.
I did take some kind of survey from google a while back about adsense, maybe this is a result of that?
As already mentioned, for WW regulars there is nothing new in the book. BTW, you can get the same information from Google at this url: [google.com ]
Somehow I don't think it's a good sign that google has to promote random colors to attract attention and "putting the ads smack dab in the middle of the content"
Text-ad blindness anyone?
Text-ad blindness anyone?
I haven't seen any sign of that in 13+ months of using Google's off-the-shelf AdSense color scheme.
Maybe it's more of an issue on news, portal, and community sites that get the same visitors day after day.
Are these the kind of tricks that people are using or is this the kind of trick that get these people tossed? I'm just starting to catch up with this aspect of the web ~ I've not gone full cycle as a site owner ~ I'd like to avoid falling for the wrongs tips & tricks.

I would say the latter (likely to get you tossed).
Consider the source (classified ads list), I wouldn't use that as a good reference for information on how to run my business.
Stick with the major sources of info (including google themselves...see their webmaster info page), and you should be fine.

It's my understanding that what the site in question will likely get them in very, very hot water with G. Personally, I would run away from those guys as fast as my legs would carry me.
Build good content, keep the code clean and simple, offer real value and stay between the lines. These roads may not lead you to the top of the mountian, but they're likely to keep you from being thrown into the ravine.
Good luck!
"Because it will match the color of the backgrounds, no one will see our links, but the more sites that are linked to a site, the better placement the site will have on Google's search engine."

It's the kind of stupid, obvious trick that gets people tossed from Google's search results (and those of other search engines).
I'd suggest reading Google's Webmaster Guidelines to stay out of trouble with search engines and with AdSense:
[google.com...]
Tip #1 -- Give webmasters control over the keywords their pages are targetting! People don't click on unrelated and/or offensive ads.
I don't know that any other tips are needed. If Google would follow Tip #1, its earnings would improve and it wouldn't need to send out silly booklets. (I'm keeping mine in case it's collectible.)

Hehe, I got something even better - I got to go to the Googleplex for the Google Dance on Tuesday night ;)
