Does the little phrase, "Ads By Google", always have to show up in the Adsense Bloc that you put on your site? Is it possible to remove this?

yeah, unfortunately, sucks eh? Google has that there to stop accidental clicks on a page, cos they are striving to add quality visitors to advertisers, which normally leads to sales if the quality is good.

there are ways around it, i'm not condoning it, but if you add a <pre> tag and have that pre tag inside a div tag you can position the pre tag which you can give it a white background to float over the top of the "ads by google".

Personally I wouldn't do this, I've seen it happen on some sites before, thing is, if they get too many clicks and these clicks do not convert into sales, then the adsense account can get closed.

so it's important as I say to all members, ensure that if you are going to drive traffic to your site via paid methods, ensure that, especially with ppc networks that you're not always at the top of the page listings, your ctr needs to be rather high, say, 5%+ Most of my pages convert at around 8-30% CTR.
