I've been reading a lot of suggestions on this forum, about blending in the google ads with the theme of the site. I've made quite a few changes, and adsense clicks have certainly improved, but I've had a few people comment on my site saying the ads blend in too much, and may be regarded as being disguised, which could get me to my adsense account banned... This is not my intention, but I would appreciate any feedback on my placement, particularly for the ads in the border on the top right... http://oneofakindtrading.com.au/ Thanks a lot!
nice ads blend you got there well, I think its okay. make your ads not looks like an ads. you made it !!. is it too much ?, NO I think. as long as you don't violate any Adsense TOS. if you're not sure, ask adsense team. they can provide you more reliable answer cheers!
do you ever try to email them ?, they replying of course. at least most in my case just give it a try.., emailing them wont hurt you much..
I would have some Google Ads on the top of the page. The ads have been blended into the content of the site quite well but you should always try and get ads on top half of the page as quite often visitors at a site will be browsing for info and not necessarily want to scroll down the page. If you have some ads right there in front of them they are likely to click them in my opinion. Kind regards, Tony
Thank you Tony, a good point! Anyone else would like to offer their opinion on my 'highly blended in' ads on the righ hand border? Cheers!
Blended ads are okay, just make be careful of the text around the ads. You can't have any words other than 'Sponsored Ads' titling ad blocks.
you have givenads a heading "quicklinks", which is against tos and you have placed 4 ad units , which is again against tos but blending is too good
Google ads link color and look seems to blend in well with your site theme. However, I would go for top ads if I were you rather than placing at sidebar. However, I'm not sure whether google will take action to penalize your account because the "Quicklinks" seems to suggest and confuse visitors that the google ads is actually like part of your site link.
Thanks for that! I will seperate the ads a little in this section to split it up. I only have 3 ad units though... even if I had 4, only 3 would show up... The other are link units which you CAN have in addition to the 3 ad units...
