Hi friends , I just put two buttons on the both sides of 468x60 G adsense , is it against their TOS You can view it , on main page of http://www.desktopwallpapers.ws Thanks Tulip
It's fine. The buttons are much smaller than the banner which also has a border around it, so they are unlikely to be associated or confused with part of the ad unit. Perfectly okay I would say.
No it is not fine , according to the new Adsense TOS , using any type of image next to the Ads is not allowed.
Guidance about this is HERE. I would say that the different sizes, shapes and seperation of your buttons and the adjacent ad units is sufficient to distinguish between them. Obviously FireStorM disagrees but the TOS does not say 'you mustn't use any image next to an ad' like he suggests. It merely states they must not be arranged in a way which suggests a relationship between them or confuses your visitors. The only way you'll get a definitive answer on a matter of interpretation like this is to ask them.
