I came across this site: http://adsensebackgrounds.com/index.html it looks like a very interesting way to increase ctr, is this againts TOS or can people use background images to blend the ads better?
Ask Google adsense support. What If i tell you its right to put these images and you get banned?? You gonna come n catch me up? huh?
I have seen some sites that do have image backgrounds that work well with AdSense, but not as good as those. It would probably be best to send an email to Google to clarify for your piece of mind.
anyone interested in doing this sort of thing themselves can read about the method here: http://www.adsenseforums.net/index.php?s=&showtopic=35&view=findpost&p=4190 though just because something looks pretty does not mean you will get a high CTR!
Well some of them are pretty eye-catching indeed. IMO you'd do just fine if your site's design matches these backgrounds. Then again, I could be wrong.
I have put that tricks at several of my sites three months ago and my account still safe. Oh yeah.. btw, that's quadruple my earning too. I'm asking about that case 3 months ago and google say that those wouldn't break the TOS.
the product would be good for anyone who has no clue about graphic design. otherwise its easy to do it yourself
No, it's not against TOS, but remember that some of those maybe "borderline" I'd suggest that you always ask Google if you are unsure.
