AdMob Policy Violations

Hi,

Has anybody else fallen foul of AdMob’s new policies? I was generating consistent revenue with in-game banner ads like this:

But the game seems to be up with AdMob insisting that ads “must not cover any part of the application content”. The problem now is that I can’t imagine where I could possibly put a banner that DOESN’T cover some content or other that the player would prefer it didn’t! If I put this on a menu it would still be covering a background image, for instance.

Ads have stopped being served to most of my apps until I come up with a solution (and because their feedback is so vague and impersonal, that will involve a lot of guesswork!).
