Another Image-Next-To-Ad Example

Here is yet ANOTHER example of images next to ads, with a barely perceptible seperation between the image and the actual Adsense ad.

Pretty clever, or are they in line for an email from Big G?

Not sure if the white space constitutes a "border"??

 

There actually is a small white line between, i dont know how google would react.

 

I don't think It's allowed.

 

Looks fine to me >.>

 

Wow. That's the cleanest blending that I have ever seen.

 

Ya that's pretty good blending and all that jazz.

 

One of the pictures I saw was animated - cutting it very close, I'd say.
On the other hand, I've always felt that the TOS was only suggesting that borders should be added...

Cryo.

 

There is no problem there, yet another example of good ad blending.

 

I don't see any ads...

 

The critters says.......

"Very dodgy"

 

Good blending, I guess that white line in between will mean that its fine.

 

Oh, I had adblock on >.<

That site opens a pop-up window, so they're not allowed to have AdSense anyway.

 

Looks pretty nice.. good job on the blending..!

 

First time I have seen someone use an animated image next to the ads. IF google is ok with it, might be even better if there was some kind of actual content box on top that has the same look as the ad blocks, to further blend it. Will be interesting to see how Google reacts as more and more people test the borders of the TOS (silly pun intended lol).

 

Violations:

1) It's drawing unneeded attention to the ads with the moving images.
2) It's labeled with images with no border
3) The website has a pop up.
4) Modifing the script extensively.

 

Is there a mention about having to have some kind of border? I thought that was just a suggestion but never saw anything saying there had to be a visible seperation. I assume it's true but wonder if there is any specific working in the TOS about it.

 

I think it's classed as labeling ads. "Don't label your ads with anything except 'Advertisements' and 'Sponsors'" sort of thing.

 

it looks good to me

 

I think only the pop up constitutes a violation of TOS. Otherwise, I liked very much the ad blending.. It even gives me some ideas to add to my desing

 

how about just distance? maybe like 10pxl away or something. would you still need a divider?
