    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Is this undue attention?

    You can't run contextual ads from another network on the same page as adsense.

    I think thats two Google ads....One of the ads happens to be for Clicksor though :cool:

    As it is, it is within the TOS

    It may help to post a screenshot of the page as a whole though

    I don't see anything wrong with that at all.

    I don't see anything wrong with it.

    I've been experimenting with a 300x250 image-only next to a 250x250 square text-only.

    Its actually a screen shot taken in this forum lol

    Since its allowed, what do you think about this:
    1. I sign up for adword and create a campaign for some ridiculous terms that no one else will use on their site, it would be for an image ad with flashing banners, arrows, finger pointing, etc. towards the ad on the bottom
    2. I target those exact ridiculous terms on my site for the top ad (image ads)
    3. I target high paying keywords for the leaderboard right below it (text ads)

    It would show on the site because the image ad would be for another site.

    I am pretty sure they won't like it but no where in the TOS says this is not allowed...

    And I am not gonna try it so don't flame me please!

    That's one of the most useless ideas I've heard in a while.

    Why sign up for AdWords and not just make an image yourself and HTML it up there? You;re suggesting potentially paying for traffic to yourself which originates fomr yourself. That's just ridiculous.

    Read the Critters thread on quadrupling your CTR. Doesn't involve wasting money on AdWords.

    Why? Because doing it directly is not allowed. Please read it again to get a better understanding.

    That clicksor ad says "Ads by Clicksor"...

    The other ad says "Ads by Google"...

    Am I missing something here?

    I don't understand this part:

    Are you talking about a Google Ad? OR are you saying you will have an ad of your own that has arrows in it pointing to the adsense ad (against the TOS)

    And where is the content in all of this.

    SE - Its because its an ad for the Clicksor program by Google

    ie. Clicksor is using that banner in their AdWords campaign

    It took me a second to figure it out too

    So you're saying you are going to make an AdWords campaign with an image ad triggered by some unique word that no one else will ever trigger but you, something like "oiwejfdskcnmxncsdiofwonckcnzxl".

    You now target "oiwejfdskcnmxncsdiofwonckcnzxl" so YOU get the ad (risking people clicking it, costing you money).

    Unless you use frames, it won't work. You can't target two completely different phrases on the same page.

    Yeah but it's still costing you money.

    Be my guest, I look forward to laughing my ass off.

    So I was right, I was not clear enough.

    1. I target a term such as ssakldjflsdjsajsla that is extremely rare because no one else would use a term like that.
    2. I then run an image ad campaign with adwords.
    3. The image I use will be a hand pointing towards the bottom.
    4. On the page where I plan to try this, I target the top image only ad with the terms ssakldjflsdjsajsla.
    5. Then target the text only ads right below the image ad with high paying terms.

    Since several members confirm there was nothing wrong with this placement, this would be allowed according to the TOS.

    What will this do? Circumvent the TOS on not being allowed to draw undue attention to the ads, and it'll all be within the TOS.

    Who understands this or is this still unclear???

    1.) You are still manipulating the system so you will be banned
    2.) Your ad will be disabled within about 30 seconds under the current AdWords Guidleines (although the image itself will be denied so it will never see the light of day)

    Stop trying to scam AdSense

    My opinion of you drops by the second :rolleyes:

    The clicks I would have spent is 5 cents max, maybe even less. All I am saying is this may be a legitimate way to draw undue attention to high paying ads.

    I already said I am not going to try this, so you won't have to laugh your ass off...

    Edit: look @ post 7, I already said I am not trying this. No flames..please.

    It's pretty lame man...

    You could make more cash by actually spending the time building decent sites.

    No one likes a scammer. :|
