Image Ad / text Ad

Simple question.

Are you allowed to place a Google image ad on the left and a Google text ad square to the immediate right?

Thanks

 

Yes you are!

 

Yes, I have not seen anything against it.

 

Thanks guys, good to hear!

 

Very good idea, you should try this placement because I find that they have higher CTR since the image ad is somewhat of an alternative to placing an image beside your ad

 

Indeed, CTR has went up by at least 2% with this technique.

 

How much improvement did you get ?

 

does anyone find image ads better that text ads because my text ads always do better than image

it seems like there are "hot zones" where ads perform better than other places like I heard the bottom right of a page is like a graveyard compared to top center and top left.

 

Dude, that's not what he asked for.. Btw, I've just emailed Google about this because I wanna make really really sure before I implement this, will post the answer here.

this is interesting. i notice some are using images on their site and afraid it might violate adsense policy. please post the answer here. thanks!

 

I don't see any problems with adding a text ad square next to an image ad. I think adsense is concerned about the 3 text/image ads - 1 list unit per page rule. It's a good idea actually.

 

No there's no problem with this implementation, I mailed Google about this and they wrote the following (just to clear things up).

At first she misunderstood my question and told me that I couldn't place aligned images near the text ads. You know the 4 images above leader-boards and 4 images near the block text ads etc.. I guess she saw the word image in the post and instantly replied with a standard E-mail

 

I've always found text ads to be better than image ads
