Blending Adlinks increases my CTR

I have changed the links at the bottom of my posts to resemble the Google adlinks.

With this redesign, I see a jump in CTR. But I am not sure if I am violating any of Google policies ?

Can someone please guide me here.

 

Nah I don't think you're violating the TOS. Nice work, tricking your visitors to click. :lol:

 

I would:
1) make a copy of the page
2) remove the adLinks from the page you linked too and anywere else you have it
3) email google with a link to the copy of the page, ask if it is ok
4) do not tell anyone the URL to this new page

People should do this for anything they think may be breaking the TOS. This may be seen as tricking people into clicking your ads, this is against the TOS.

 

Hey, Critters, are you making $1000/day with Adsense? (I just noticed your sig.)

 

Nope, must not be trying hard enough.

 

A good example for Google adlinks

 

:lol: Okay.

 

haha lol

 

If google approves, then great job on that design, the link units blend very well

 

Yet to hear from them.
