Could you put a image ad by google next to a text

I stumbled along a web based proxy a few months ago and have been using them ever since however they have implemented a new ad placement...

they have a small box ad with text and small box with pictures next to each other...

is this allowed?

im not sure because of the new no drawing attention to ads thingy google implemented

anyways i think it is a pretty good placement...

if you want to see it go to their site http://shareandcare.110mb.com/ultimatum/

i don't know if posting a site is allowed so if the link isnt there a mod prob deleted it =)

 

It's not allowed. That site owner might get warned/banned soon if Google notices.

 

No, it's again Google's TOS.
Don't do it unless you want to get banned from Google Adsense

 

I don't think this is against AdSense TOS. Two ad units next to each other - why not? It's not like the webmaster manually chose and aligned colorful pictures next to the ad rectangle.

 

images near the ads is not against the tos but you must read http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/12/ad-and-image-placement-policy.html before you do this

 

you see its not a image its two ad units one is set to pic only and the other is text only

 

Its Allowed if one is image and the other is text only google ads

 

yeah im going to try this ad placement .. could be successful

 

ye google TOS does not recommend it so read it carefully!

 

what do you mean? It doesnt recommend pic with ads but surely two ad units together isnt illegal?

 

I cannot believe some members are actually responding and MISGUIDING the O.P.

THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGIT. Google Image Ad + Google Text Ad = NOT against T.O.S.

Google Ad (Image OR Text) next to Image = Against TOS.


Either way, if you are still not 100% sure, send me a PM after you implemented it with your URL link and I will let you know. And if you are still unsure, e-mail Google.

Now what's really mind boggling is how this guy is running a proxy site from a free web hosting provider!

 

thanks for that fka200 now im sure!!! by the way i see op thrown around what does that mean?

 

lol just read the bit at the end ... it seems hes with 110mb and hes doing it illegally .. its against their rules but who cares really.... please don't dob him in he's proxy is reliable and fast

 

OP = Original Post/Original Poster

Everyone needs to make some money--some HONEST money! I wouldn't report him... it's a free host, they should check up on what's being served on their server!

 

thats why i think he has it in the directory "ultimatum" instead of "proxy" ... avoid detection i guess

 

This is perfectly legit as about 95% of proxy templates have the two block ads next to eachother like that and Ive yet to hear of any proxy owners being baned for that.

 

yes i suppose this thread can be closed now cause the origianl query is answered

 

its an interesting placement - 100% legit aswell . May try it i wonder what his CTR is on each ADD ??

 

prob more for the text ad unit... he should try to get some keywords...
