OK, so when the page resizes and the mouse cursor is left hovering over the adsense ad, some people click without realising and get taken to the advertiser's site. Really, quite often my mouse is exactly over the ad's title. If this isn't against the adsense T&Cs then well done.

It get's left hovering over the ad based on the amount of content wrapped on the page. Some sayings are larger and it's downward and goes with the flow of the content others are shorter and the ads shouldn't be placed the same way a longer sentence would.

Nothing in adsense TOS says that doing that is wrong.

Great! I'm genuinely happy for you :)

The reason why I keep asking about adsense TOS compliance is that if you get banned for click fraud, you don't get to keep all of your earnings to date - Google can and will not pay you for anything that isn't in your bank account, trust me on this ;)
