you know how google or any other companies state that they don't allow you to write anywhere on you page , anything saying 'click the ads' or arrows pointing to it... or anything... but what about... telling people 'NOT TO CLICK' ? is that allowed ? im thinking about terms of reverse-psychology... because i remember an ad i saw a while back that said 'DONT CLICK HERE!!!' , and i clicked it because i was curious of why? i think it would improve click-through rate.. but is it okay with google?
You are not allowed to draw attention to adsense ads... And telling people that IS drawing attention to the ads...
The closest I think you could come without getting in trouble would be to tell them to go looking for something. Say your site is about dog training. You could say, "If you don't want your animal destroyed for being playful, your best bet is to IMMEDIATELY start using the best training program you can get your hands on!!" When this sinks in and there's a convenient ad for a dog training program right there...
Its as bad as telling them to click, like if you tell a child not to do something because its dangerous they will often go right ahead and do it as they understand it must be exciting for you to tell them not to.
do the TOC's actually say "do not draw attention to the ads in anyway" - cos if they do, where do you draw the line? colours can draw attention. i think if it does not state that you shouldn't try your method, then try it!
