Is this allowed for premium publishers? I saw it on a large site...

Yes.

I take it that we are not allowed to do this?

Am I correct?

If your site has more than 5 million searches per month, the Google Sponsored Links Program is for you

Unless the above is true.

Incentives
Web pages may not include incentives of any kind for users to click on ads. This includes labeling the ads as sponsors as well as asking users to click on the ads or to please visit the sites.

That said, according to ThatAdamGuy, he was told to replace "From Google" with "Sponsored Links." See [webmasterworld.com...]

Bottom line, though, is the stated policies and rules would prevail.
