Don’t make this Adsense mistake
One of the common mistakes that Adsense publishers make is using wrong labels above Adsense units. People think it’s a hot trick, but it’s really not. Google doesn’t like to see wrong labels right above Adsense ad units. let’s review Adsense’s TOS.
Publishers may not label the ads with text other than “sponsored links” or “advertisements.” This includes any text directly above our ads that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with Google ads.
TOS clearly states that publishers may not use labels other than “sponsored links” or “advertisements”. But as you may have seen already, people become creative when it comes to labeling their ad units. I’ve seen people putting, “Articles, Navigation, Books, and Latest News” as the title of the ad unit.
Usually Google sends out warning letters first if they think you are using a wrong label. Just be careful of what you are doing with it.

Thanks for the reminder Bo…
Although I usualy dont put anything above the ad units, its a good reminder to know not to use the wrong words and to try to trick the site visitors, which is what this is all about.
