Can we ask web traffic to visit our sponsors?

[joel2280]

Forgive me if this is already in the AdSence terms and conditions, if so I didnt read it yet.
but can we ask people to visit a sponcer or click here to visit a sponcer?
Ive seen allot of Google ads and found it strange, but Ive never seen any say "Please be shure to visit a sponcer".
or "Click here".

From AdSense TOS:

Incentives

Web pages may not include incentives of any kind for users to click on ads. This includes encouraging users to click on the ads or to visit the advertisers' sites as well as drawing any undue attention to the ads. This activity is strictly prohibited in order to avoid potential inflation of advertiser costs. For example, your site cannot contain phrases such as "click here," "support us," "visit these links," or other similar language that could apply to any ad, regardless of content.

sheesh, take a minute to read the T&C before you come on here with your own "I was banned" thread.

There are a lot of don't do terms that you need to be aware of and it is no trivial matter!

If you have a good amount of income racked up and it is all forfieted because you didn't bother to read and protect yourself then you will understand the value of reading..

You can have "Advertisments" or "Sponsored links" but NOTHING else!
