They appear slighly obtrusive so I have always refrained from using them, but since MANY sites have them this way, I assume it is permitted.
I intend to do some similar tweaking.
If I change from leaderboard to Large Rectangle ads, where do we draw the line between what's permissable tweaking and whats not.
Is it better to ask adsense team?
thks,

There are several things that you need to consider before placing the large ad boxes within your content (rather than above or to the side):
1) Is it allowed? (You already have the answer to that: Yes.)
2) Is it easy to implement? (If not, you might want to try the ad format on some--not all--of your pages in case it turns out to be more bother than it's worth.)
3) Will it contribute to a perceived decline in site quality? This is an especially important question for publishers of editorial, reference, and other information sites. Big corporate-owned portals and content sites tend to err on the side of blatant commercialism, which can work to the advantage of mom-and-pop publishers who exercise restraint. Sometimes it helps to look at the overall picture instead of trying to squeeze every last nickel out of each page.
