like a little advertising image? I keep an image to the left of my ads that says "advertising" with an arrow and its fine.
I thought arrows were strictly forbidden. I have bullets next to a link bar so that it matches my sites navigation. So far no issues. Do you think I will be alright with that?
Using an arrow to point to your ads is definitely "drawing undue attention" to the ad, even if you label it "advertising". Unless Google has told you that using the arrow is fine, I would make sure and email them. We've gone over this a lot of times, and it always comes down the same: Google says "No".
It's fine as long as you have a visible space/border between the ads and the image. It's done all the time.
I have emailed Adsense last week about that , they said images can be placed but there should be a visible border .
