New AdSense Format
Since most large advertisers are experimenting with video now — large advertisers who most often have the largest budgets — Google recommends the 300×250 Large Rectangle format because that’s the format they most often use.
That’s the format I’m using prominently over on my website design gallery, Unmatched Style, and this morning I noticed the ad you see to the right. (It’s just an image here, so it’s not clickable.) My problem is that I can’t click it to learn more about it because I don’t want to risk raising any red flags at Google and getting kicked out for clicking my own ads.
Anyone else seen this? Anyone know more about it? You might be able to see it on Unmatched Style if you haven’t seen it yet.

I was banned from adsense inexplicably. They wouldn’t say why… only that they’d detected invalid clicks. I had a reference on one of my pages joking about the adsense matching on the page (it was showing coffee ads on a politics site because I mentioned a Starbucks). That was the only thing I could tell that was anti-adsense policy. I figured I’d give you a heads up about “calling attention to an ad”…

That’s a good point, IBM. They don’t mess around.
I found this great article and Google’s appeal form, and thought they might be useful to you. Hope you’re back in soon!

Thanks for the info on the new adsense format, and from the other commentors who discussed googles adsense policies.
I’ll have to try the new ad size!
Thanks,
Tim
