Now this kind of images placement is not allowed. And following example is great set back for arcade website publishers. From Adsense Blog. Now be careful and make changes asap Good Luck.
well, its old news now. Google showed what is not allowed but they must give examples for what is allowed.
yes I would like to see what they allow. do they have a deadline to when this has to be performed? I have 1 site where there images next to the ads applies even thou ive bordered them off and even added a header as advertisement.
I think the general rule is just get rid of images next to ads...it really is quite simple. I guess removing the image is a lot easier than risking account termination.
there is obviously a huge difference in the two ads above, the 2nd is clearly misleading the end user by mixing in google ads with the actual navigation of the site by mimickng the google ads with the real navigation.... it's interesting to see this come from google when I have personally seen google place image ads next to their own text ads.....
