Hi friends, I have seen this in a very famous tutorial website. Do you think it is allowed according to the Google Adsense TOS?
A few months ago, Google Adsense updated its TOS to explicitly disallow such posting of images right next to its ads.
I saw it too.... I think they emailed to google and google let them do it cause this is a huge adsense customer...
if it was allowed by google, i don't think that is the reason. i think the image does not let user/advertiser missleading..
I implemented that system of pictures next to ads and it WAS against TOS However im not a "power user" of adsense and there may be cases where its allowed They basically told me the pictures were too indistinguishable from the ads. So basically if ur gonna do it, make sure they are sufficiently distinct from the ads. and then ask google if its ok
I have sent an email to google about implementing same technique in my website. Waiting for their respone
http://www.adengage.com That program has images built into their ads if you want to give them a try. No need to get your account banned from google.
beforeeeeeeee sending google ... just let the webmaster know ... why to give chance for a poor adsenser to get banned ?
Without going into the details of the TOS, here is the official Adsense blog's take on this: Ad and image placement: a policy clarification
