Hey guys, I noticed on the popular site 9gag.com that they lock the adsense unit in place when you scroll down the page. I assume this will increase the click rate as their ad unit is always visible like this. Try it yourself: http://9gag.com/ if you scroll down, the bottom 300x250 will be locked in place. Is this allowed? I would like some confirmation before I implement it on my own sites. Kind regards, Nabeel
I think this is allowed. I've actually done this on my website before too with text link units at the very top of the page. Why would it be against their policy? They said you can't have the ads in popups or pop unders or within software. There is no reason it should be illegal to have it in a javascript or css sliding box.
Good to hear that , but i want more confirmation coz dont want to get bane , my home depend on my adsense account. Anybody more ?
Hey Nabeelzzz1 - How about a better solution. Go Here - https://www.google.com/adsense/supp...nswer=48182&gsessionid=rE19FD63HlpIudCEZBbfEA (Google Adsense Policy) and read for yourself what is and is not allowed.
I looks like it is allowed. You can go to that link and confirm what I just copied and pasted: Ad Placement Publishers are encouraged to experiment with a variety of placements and ad formats. However, AdSense code may not be placed in inappropriate places such as pop-ups, emails or software. Publishers must also adhere to the policies for each product used. View full ad placement policies. Google ads, search boxes or search results may not be: Integrated into a software application of any kind, including toolbars. Displayed in pop-ups or pop-unders. Placed in emails, email programs, or chat programs. Obscured by elements on a page. Placed on any non-content-based page. (Does not apply to AdSense for search or mobile AdSense for search.) Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads. Placed on pages whose content or URL could confuse users into thinking it is associated with Google due to the misuse of logos, trademarks or other brand features. Placed on, within or alongside other Google products or services in a manner that violates the policies of that product or service.
I've got a correction to make about my last post on this thread. It appears that maybe its not allowed: Encouraging Clicks Publishers may not ask others to click their ads or use deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks. This includes, but is not limited to, offering compensation to users for viewing ads or performing searches, promising to raise money for third parties for such behavior or placing images next to individual ads. Learn more In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not: Compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior. Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language. Direct user attention to the ads using arrows or other graphical gimmicks. Place misleading images alongside individual ads. Place ads in a floating box script. Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page. Format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads. Place misleading labels above Google ad units. For instance, ads may be labelled "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements", but not "Favourite Sites" or "Today's Top Offers". So I suppose that means it can't "always be visible" since this is the definition of what a floating box is , right? Maybe Google could let such a thing go, but they will do whatever they want without even thinking about it.
