New adsense placement trend?

Sorry if I'm slow but I've noticed that many sites are placing 1 image ad and 1 text ad beside each other ever since adsense changed their TOS about... placing images beside ads.

How effective is this? Has anyone tried it and noticed an increase in their CTR?

Thanks.

 

Good idea ! lol

will try it

 

It used to be very effective, but it is diminishing as more people use it.

 

You just heard of this? I'm trying it right now.. I'll post up the results but I think it'll work better...

 

the problem is the minimum size is 200 * 200 , it would be great if we had a smaller image

 

How effective is this? Any results to report back on?

 

Not yet.. I'm going to give it a go for a week and post any improvements. (I only used text only ads). Seeing how it's a 'trend' it must be more effective...
