I added random thumbnail images above 120x600 google text adsense in my site a year ago, and like most people who did this, it doubled the click-through rate and earnings of that pages real estate. I am now thinking NEXT level, with this, ideally I'd like to : a) automatically read the text of the google ads b) lookup to flickr and pull a relevant (allowed) image c) embed it where my random thumbnails are (above the adsense) My theory is that if the thumbnails are directly relevant, then should increase the clickthrough yet again. Now, I appreciate that google waits till page has loaded before it reads the page to place its ad, so our script would have to, doubley do this. And it'd involve some clever javascript. 1) anyone done this? 2) is it breach of tos with google? Thanks ---------
Images near ads are ok till you have a separator between them. Many people do this trick and ended up banning their account.
as long as the image will mislead your visitor, but think that the point that webamaster want ti achieve. lol
yes.. no image close to adsense ad.. Sometimes keep track of google adsense blog.. you will know more about Google TOS. do not get banned by google..
