The skyscraper adsense banner follows you as you scroll down the page. Check this out

take a look at this site

http://www.freelayouticons.com/

look at the skyscraper banner on the left side and notice that as you scroll down the page, it follows you.

how do they do this? javascript? and if so, do you think it's allowed?
i sent adsense an email asking them if this sort of thing is allowed but in the meantime i wanted to see what you think while i wait for a reply from them.

 

woah.. and i also just noticed this..

go to the top of the page and you'll see two 336 x 280 banners... then scroll down to the bottom of the page and they will appear there too.

this cant be allowed...
dont u think?

 

i've seen these also and wondered the exact same thing..

 

I wonder if this would not violate Google TOS as when you scroll down the "Ads by Google" text does not follow the ads.

 

yeah its almost as if he has 4 of those large rectangle banners in a way..

 

i just noticed that.
its gotta be against tos.
lol

 

in because that is a nice effect

 

if you want your account banned

 

Unless this is a premium publisher, this definitely IS a violation of policy. I've asked about this directly of Google in the past and was told it is NOT allowed.

 

The way to do get the skyscraper to follow you on the screen is to embed it in a div and with css set it's position to 'fixed'. A quick google search told me that won't work in IE6, but aparently there's a work around: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/fixed.html

 

There is a fix to get around IE6, but the whole idea is moot unless you're not that attached to your adsense account lol

 

this is against the adsense i believe the owner of this web site wants be banned from adsense

 

With an Alexa of 60,000 they MAY be premiums so they could be allowed to do this.

 

Darn... Wish I was allowed ads like that lol.

They give all the good implementations to the bigger guys so unfair.

 

yah it would be totally awesome if it was allowed = $$$

 

How's this against the google TOS? I see no reason for it to be against the TOS at all. Since the 'ads by google' thing is visible at first, I don't see the problem. I mean, look at my site, 'ads by google' disappears as people scroll as well - pretty normal website behavior.
Also: the system can easily be modified so that it does keep showing 'ads by google' and still work.

 

It IS against their policies...they've said as much in personal correspondence with them. It alters the delivery of the ad, but if you wish to implement it, be my guest, just don't say you weren't warned

 

lol. how is it not?

 

Definitely, definitely, it's against the TOS.

It shouldn't be allowed to premium members either.

 

here is my reply from google regarding this..
