Aligning Bullet Lists to Adsense Large Rectangle?

Is there a way?

[Daemon]

I want to add bullets next to each of the 4 ads of the Large Rectangle format of Adsense (336x280), the problem is that the number of ads and the height of each box may change, does anyone know a way to counter this?

Perhaps by detecting the number of ads displayed in the box?

Thank you.

i wonder how long it will take for your account to get disabled?

yeah, it's definitely against the terms of service to modify the way the ads are displayed beyond what color settings they provide in the account admin.

WOAH such flames and so fast!

maybe I was not clear enough, I want to align the bullets NEXT to the ads and NEXT to the ad code, not the code itself!

I thought this place was a nice place with nice people....maybe I'll start thinking people are all the same...

Anyways, anyone can answer my question?

why don't you just guess, mostly the ads are exactly the same.

i'd put the ads in a 2 column table and put a transparent grafic with the bullet points in the other column, it will usually be positioned correctly and just live with it when it doesn't.

generally this is a nice place, but sometimes people are overenthusiastic to give advice that wasn't asked for.

I have that design on my site. The bullets are placed based on an average 5-ad skyscraper in my case. It's not perfect. The bullets are floating in empty space when there are less than 5 ads. So be it.

Yeah that's what I did, I'm just......perfectionist....wanted to align in case of ad changes...

Well said :)

Its not flaming, you put anything next to your ad that screams click here and you can expect to get a email from google either telling you to remove it, or they disable your account.

You said yourself that you weren't clear in what you were asking for.

So it's a bit off to judge people's reaction to your question, when you didn't even state the question right.

Your question sounded like a newbie question about altering the look of the adsense ads by putting bullets next to them, my response was to let you know that it would be against the terms of service to do that. I don't see a flame in that at all.

Sounds like someone trying to help you out (based on your initial question).
