    Ok, No Images Next to Adsense. But What About Images On Top/Below of Adsense? Don't get it yet.

    [​IMG]

    Like in the example above, what if we got rid of the Ad Units on the left hand side? Would that make it Adsense TOS friendly?

    Sincerely, glasshoper

    I don't get it. I see three (3) AdSense ads in that picture. What would removing the left side ad have anything to do with TOS?

    lol exactly. Some people do a sky scraper image, with 2 large rectangles next to the sky scraper. Not illegal I believe.

    I got a question about wisegeek.com.....

    As far as I can see, Adsense stopped making the "text" part of the ads clickable. How does wisegeek keep them clickable? Not only clickable, but highlighted as you "mouseover"? Are they a premium publisher? Or altering the code? Just wondering...because alteration is definitely a TOS violation.

    wisegeek also has that image right next to adsense. it's not against google TOS if you are premium publisher, i guess. :D

    Well since the site is making google thousands every day I think they are a little more lenient.

    Also, I am pretty sure in general that... that "rule" of no images or no "similar" ads next to google adsense ads... was/is to prevent 1. ad confusion.. i.e. things look so similar people just click everything.... and 2. people being enticed to click an ad via a picture etc.

    I've used images near Adsense ads, without being a premium publisher, but I just make a slight but obvious separation between things.

    I remember the time before 2006 when images near ads where allowed, we could reach very high ctr with this technique. It was good while it lasted :)
