I know liaising with Google is the best option but can anyone proffer an opinion as to whether this may or may not be compliant? http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/57/adsenseadexamplesz4.png is the url for a pic of what I saw
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/57/adsenseadexamplesz4.png live link I would not do this only because your not allowed to have pictures next to the ads that are lined up.. I do not know about this... Contact google and ask!
Hey, good question. You're not allowed to do that. If you check out the TOS, they say you're not supposed to have images near the picture, and they even showed some example. But it's beautiful though. Save it for bidvertiser. Rep me if that was helpful please
Woah I think that's a big no-no. Used to be that was allowed, but the new rules have explicitly said that you must separate images from the ads. See: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&topic=8423 under "Encouraging clicks". If all else fails, email them and ask specifically.
It was my understanding that you had to separate images from ads with at least a line, i am sure this is covered in the link to Google above. Rep points can be given by clicking on the scales icon top right of the individuals post.
