Violation of AdSense Policies?

[catblogger]

Could someone please take a look at this page and tell me how it could be in violation of AdSense policies? I always copy Google's code and paste it into my pages. http://www.howtolivewithcats.com/cat-chat-understanding-how-cats-communicate.html.

This is part of the email I got from Google:

This is a warning message to alert you that there is action required to bring your AdSense account into compliance with our AdSense program policies. We’ve provided additional details below, along with the actions to be taken on your part.

Affected website: howtolivewithcats.com

Example page where violation occurred: http://www.howtolivewithcats.com/cat-chat-understanding-how-cats-communicate.html

Action required: Please make changes immediately to your site to follow AdSense program policies.

Current account status: Active

 

Violation explanation

 Our program policies do not permit any alteration to AdSense code which artificially inflates ad performance or harms advertiser conversions. Your publisher account offers a number of options when generating the ad code, which we hope will allow you to create an ad layout that fits in with your site. It is also not allowed to place ads on mobile optimized sites so that they cover any part of the site content or implementing parts of a webpage to cover any portion of the ads. Please be aware that if you have a responsive website design that ads may shift into non compliant positions as the format of the screen changes.

In order to remain fully compliant please ensure that your site and ad layout remain compliant across all devices. For more information this policy can be found on our help center and this short video. 

Thanks!

I'm not sure why're getting that error exactly, @catblogger, but you might have better luck contacting Google for a more specific explanation.

You can also take a look at this article for more info on that particlar warning:

I didn't modify the code, though. I copied it and pasted it into my pages. Is there such a thing as outdated code? I did that page a couple of years ago. 

I've never had much luck getting help from Google, and if I wasn't so close to a pay-out, I'd tell them to take a flying leap and put other ads on my pages. Everything Google is just so difficult.

Thanks, Adam.

It's definitely possible that they've updated the code, although I'd be surprised if they did it in a way that make older code give a warning.  It probably wouldn't hurt to try using new code instead anyway, though.
