I was always under the imprecision that we are not allowed to place ads besides images and videos also we all know we can not place adsense directly under our words (except advertisement and sponsored by) Now look at this great website : http://www.2createawebsite.com/prebuild/quick-website-overview.html clearly both ads; the one beside the video and the ad at the end of the page are completely against adsense TOS; this page on the mentioned site has been like this for about 4 years; so it is not something new that google may need time to find it! How on earth this is still a live for 4 years and still !!!!
It can be done. Placing a video that you've made, with ads beside, is ok in my opinion. Then at the end once again it's fine. Sure the sentence "Have questions? Join us in the forums!" is just above the adsense block, but that's ok because join us in the forums is a link, so the sentence makes sense on its own and doesn't require visitors to have a look at the ad below and click it thinking it will take them to "the forums". So for me this implementation is fine, but I'm not adsense reviewer.
I have checked it with this utility: Page Rank Checker, and the site has almost 10 years, i think it is older than google.
why does it matter if a site is dead or alive? Does it bother you this much? Go talk to the site owner
Yes, it does matter! because we all here to learn and if this is okay then I will implement the same thing for my site BUT I have feeling if I do it then google will ban me the next day with a strong reason which is breaking adsense TOS.
lol bro why you so jealous about such a effective and awesome work done by her.... i really admire her she is cool and her website is super cool... she is getting tremendous traffic to her website that makes her website well reputed in eyes of google may be thats why she is allowed to do all that stuff lol... google just hae spammers and if you use there ads on duplicate content or on websites that are just designed for adsene... and i dont see any such thing on her website thats why on earth that website is still alive and earning well.
He's not jealous he simply think this ad placement is forbidden by adsense, but in fact it is not forbidden, and if you want to do the same, simply do it, then write to adsense to ask for compliance confirmation / a human review so that you will get the OK or the not OK confirmation by adsense.
Whoaa.. that is the website that actually got me started as a webmaster! I also signed up for my first web-host through her so she probably made $75 off me..
It shows more than just rank. When I go check out my homepage, I get "Domain Age: 9 years, 232 days" and I can safely say that my website is NOT older than Google, just for the record. And 9 years ago I was running it via dyndns off my home internet connection because it got basically no traffic lol
