Styles and backgrounds for AdSense

I found this on del.icio.us:
http://web2magazine.blogspot.com/2007/06/29-different-google-ads-style.html

It has many styles to choose and it looks like it doesn't violate the TOS.

What do you think? Do this kind of styles increase the CTR?

 

they looks and i think it helps to increase the ctr of any web site

 

very nice styles
thanks man.
ya i think the design can increase the CTR

 

wow thanks my dear ...

but google deny any one from change his code ....??

is this legal or not

 

thanks it is wonderfull

 

You're not modifying the code. You just add styles before and after. You can read several posts in adclustr.com about the official answer of Google about that styles!

 

Very cool I might try some of theses out.

 

Well,
Its not changing the adcode, inspite, its adding some more effects beside it.
Though, it may not be accepted bu google.

 

thanks anyway....

but i am with Abhik

 

Definitely nothing wrong with that - in fact google just added the option to have rounded corners out of the adsense box. See the last post by Jensense - or just try creating new adsense blocks through it's own tool.

 

Does somebody know where I can find more styles?

 

Can we get a clear cut answer to this? Is this okay or not?

 

A few months ago I put images as the background to a table and put ads in the table and I was warned that I was drawing attention to the ads

 

I don't think those would be allowed, although they are nice.

If google WANTED us to use them with their ads, they would be providing them to us.

All I can see those doing is bringing to much attention on the ads which google does not want. They want clicks people because are interested in the ads, not because that's the first and only thing they see on the page.

 

i think google do not allow to use the background image, right?

 

Ok here is how it works.

100 of us could ask google if its ok, and the odds are, 50 of us would get a 'yes' from google, and the other 50 would get a 'no'. Its in a grey area that isnt covered by their TOS. You can do it with out getting banned, but there is a 50/50 chance you will get a warning. Some of you may try it, and be asked to remove it, whereas others may be able to run it for the next 2 years until google addresses it in their TOS.

 

nice one I think

 

Thanks A lot
It simply Superb

 

I like the Oval half banner. I guess this will allow people to incorprate better styles with designs of their sites.

 

Its not against Google's terms. In fact the owner of adsense background images asked Google about this and he got the following reply from Google :

To put images besides ads is against Google's terms, not background images.

If you want to buy more background images check my signature.

Thanks
