    Ads next to text ads usually does increase CTR. I know that's why Google doesn't allow it. Not sure about Yahoo. Keep in mind that some of these networks will do something on their own sites that they will not let you do as a publisher. This could be a case of do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do.

    Those look like paid Overture/Yahoo ads. If I were paying for a link there, I'd probably want an image of my choice next to it for more visibility. Especially if everyone around me is just text.

    Google does the same thing but I see nothing wrong with it. Simply because they can do what they want.

    It's not allowed for publishers. Same as with Google.

    If the sponsors say its oaky.. then its okay.. I dont believe Yahoo just felt like placing the images there..

    Overall, i believe its considered click fraud
