I was planning on inserting an adsense link unit right under the main header, blending in with the header. (see <snip> )
If the ads are relevant, those ads could be easely mistaken for site navigation with the exception that the words 'ads by google' are there.
Two questions I have;
- Is this allowed? Or do I need distint them more from the site (although google is advising us to blend in ads). Since it's a link unit, users must click twice anyway before I make any money/advertiser pay any money.
- Is this advised?
I can imagine people accidently clicking them when they don't immediatly find what they are looking for on my site, so basically I would be driving the visitors off my site.
On the other hand, if people clickt those links, they come on a page where they can only go two ways, and that's clicking an ad, or hitting the back button to return to my site.

I was yesterday at one of my internet promotion clients, he asked me for a good graphican.
I showed him the web site of a good graphican.
I clicked on a link in the navigation, some seconds later I realized that it was a 468x15 AdLink.
Anyway, if you have for example have a look at linux.org, instead of adding a 468x60 banner, I would include a 728x15 leaderboard link unit with text set to white, and border and background to the same color as the color of the header, making it appear as a part of the header.
