AS Section targeting with <div style="display: none;>

[enricotal]

I am thinking about writing a few paragraphs about what my page is and trying to get some revant keywords in the text.

I would use this text solely for AS section targeting

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Since this is not graphically pleasing on my site structure, I was thinking about using the <div style="display: none;> not to display it.

Is this a form of cloaking?
Does this interfere with AS TOS?
Will this improve my irrelevant ads?
Any ideas?

I had several display:none on my pages to improve google ranking and it did very well improve both ranking and adsense key relevance

Got an email from adsense support to remove it or else...

Yes, it is violation of the TOS

the tags you mentioned aren't supposed to show up, they are comment marks. so there's no reason to hide them using "display: none"

thay can only show and break your design if you insert them in your html like:

&lt;!-- instead of simple <!--
