Is my new site OK with google TOS?

You can't have images inline with google ads - i suggest you take a look at the adsense blog for more details on this, but you cant use images anymore even with a divider line - or anything-

 

why not just put plan ads, no images at the top, and get 10% ctr, i dont understand? and ffom my experience though link units dont work at all, maybe try just 1 ad unit, afterall 10% of people click on the top link anyway

 

It's not a maybe or an "I think-so". It IS against the TOS to have images next to ads. Your website does not follow the program policies.
Why ask members to review your site if it is not completed or under construction? Add the much needed original content, remove the images and the "recent tutorials" blurb that draws attention to the ads and then ask for a review.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but it's just another website that looks like it took 5 or 6 minutes to build and all you want is for people to click on ads. "cha-ching".

 

yeah that's a great idea, i will put one block of ads above, and the other at the bottom of "recent tutorials"

 

ok, but, do u understand, the top ads will get 10%, and the bottom ads will get 1%, FYI, just like everybody else says dont use images on any your sites, unless u want risk having get another taxi id for adsense.

 

Ok, thanks for the suggestion, i'm adding the content right now, just wanted to finish my 5 or 6 minute design after adding it.

I put time on this, maybe i'm not the best designer out there so it looks like that, thanks anyway for your almost constructive opinion.

And yeah i think im going to take out the image ads...

 

O well i didn't know that, so should i take off the bottom ads?

 

Here comes another MFA

 

i would put your content at the bottom, ifu get any

mfa? ohh we M-ake sites for F-un, and happen to eat off the income A-dsense pays us

 

well thanks to anybody. i think i get my doubts solved.

 

Oh and don't go by my word. Here's google's program policy clarification regarding IMAGES AND ADS.
http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/12/ad-and-image-placement-policy.html

And a quote about labelling Ads and your "more tutorials" blurb"
"Labeling Ads
Publishers may not label the ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements." This includes any text directly above our ads that could be confused with, or attempt to be associated with Google ads."

Adrian, think of it this way. Is your website a website you would enjoy visiting? Would it give you chock-full-of-information so that you would not need to go elsewhere for that same or more information?

Good luck to you and to your success!

 

Thanks! , well yes im going to put the adsense block above the "recent tutorials" thing, and get the images off, hope it works.

Good luck to you too, happy holidays.

 

Well thanks everybody for the help, now my site i think is ready to be launched, please a final review will be more than welcome.

The url is www.photo-shop-tutorial.net, thanks in advance.

 

Why not email adsense for clarification? I don't know why you need clarification about TOS issues from people on a forum......

 

Just don't edit the ad sense images, my advice to you.

 

I don't know why I keep coming back to this thread.

ADRIAN, I don't see much of a difference except 2 huge images that I don't know what they are. One looks like a brain and the other is, I dunno. Anyway, you still have images next to your Ads, albeit small, but they're images. I don't see the extra content (text) that you said you were going to put in.

 

I'm adding the content, but it's a tutorial site, the tutorials are the content.
