    The following site is using an animated image to drive attention to google ads:

    investorgazette.com - look for the bull on the left ad unit, sometimes ads appear only on inner pages

    If you wait long enough you can see how the image points to ads :D

    That's quite clever and actually pretty well done but it is likely a violation of the terms of service. Something about encouraging third parties, they like the clicks to be rather organic.

    Fortunately, it's not my site :) I found it on a directory.

    Ads still running on it and that image is still there, wondering if that is okay with adsense?

    There's no need to wonder, that definitely violates TOS!

    Do you think this guy is a premium publisher with very different rules?
