You mean "close to the line" as far as the TOS goes? It seems to me that everyone and his wife is putting pictures above the ads and Google appears to not have a problem with it. I didn't put the pictures above my ads JUST for that reason - I always had the plan to make them a useful navigational feature. You think I'm treading a fine line by doing that? I guess I should run it by Google....
Pictures are one thing but arrows are another. If you used your same reasoning, you could have a picture of someone holding a sign saying "Please click on the ads below". Technically its still a picture, right. I personally think arrows violate the TOS if they are pointing directly at the ad (which yours don't now) but as you said, Google has the final interpretation of their TOS.
I've asked Google. I'd never have even considered having arrows pointing down of course. Maybe "next" and "previous" text links? Dunno. I'll let Google give me a decision before making any changes.
This is a post i blog about how i reach my $100 mark. http://www.kahsoon.com/2005/06/21/my-first-100-from-adsense/ Have my adsense for almost 4 months already and lowest i will get is $1 and highest would be $4...my goal is to reach $10 per day then will work my way to $100 per day. All i need is idea and time! =.=
Nice to hear all these sucess stories. So far my profit has been going up a bit. It still isnt everyday, but the clicks I do get seem to be growing in value.
Happy 4th of July Everyone! Even though it was a holiday, I had my best day yet so far, and I broke the 100.00 mark. 100 Dollar a day that is =)) So Excited, next goal, 125.00 a day!!
Congratulations Worldwid! How long have you been working with adsense to get to the $100/day mark? I wish I was at your point but I have alot of work to do to get there. Later, Juls
Hey Juls, Thanks a lot for the congrats =) I have only been working with Adsense for about a month, but I had websites already set up and receiving traffic from last 2 years. Until now I was only concerned with selling products for a profit but boy have my eyes widened.
Wow, that's cool. I never do well on holidays, and today--true to form--was lame as usual! Congrats to you. AmCy
