Adsense has new 2 new guidelines against blending :
1> "Ads shouldn't be placed under a title or section heading in a way that implies that the ads are not ads." ...are you reading this Amit ji ???
2>" Ads should be easily distinguishable from surrounding content."
How distinct can an ad be at labnol then it is right now
The adsense blog means by saying that the title should not be only used to show the Google ads and there must be some relevant content under the title.....
Labnol is correct ........
igizmore,
They did not say it as a rule. There are lot of people who are confused on this. They say if you want to retain readers putting ad under title might just drive them away. If it had been a rule, it would have made a major chaos everywhere affecting not only publisher but advertisers also and ultimately adsense.

There's still some confusion regarding this,ashish.
Look at the labels used for the post,they are"optimization & program policies".I think it's a new rule.
There are many comments which express their disappointment with the changed rules..but there is no comment from the Google side confirming just a guideline and not a changed rule.It needs to make a rather clear announcement...

This is from someone at the Google AdSense team on WMW:
I know some publishers are concerned about the use of the word blending here, i.e. using the background colour of your page as the background and border colour of your ads, and the ad text and links in the same or similar colours as your text.
As several publishers have mentioned, blending is permitted. However, as stated in our programme policies, publishers should not rely on deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks, as in the second scenario on the blogpost, where a group of links has identical colours and line spacing to that of the ad unit placed in the middle of them.
The key is to never confuse the user into thinking ads are content.
