What do you think about this idea for my Forum

i'm thinking of change logo and name of my forum to "Tech Doctor"

do you think it will be kept in mind better ? (for those who just take a look and doesn't bookmark the site)

or i just have to leave that phrase in the header ?

thanks !

I think you should make a research and find niche words related to your forum then optimize for it.

 

remove those pics near the adsense ads asap , u may get banned doing that

 

Thank you.

in the middle ?

i thought it was ok as along as there's a line to separate the ads from the images


or in the header ?

i read this "rule":

To be specific, we ask that publishers not place misleading images near Google ads or use images that appear to be directly associated with the advertisers and their offerings

I like the name Tech Doctor. That may be a good route to go, and I don't think it would hurt anything since Tech Do doesn't seem to be a meme. Why not run a contest and poll on the forums to see how users would like it.

PS. Where did you get that photo of my gf on the front page? j/k

 

thanks
how can i discover if that website name is not copyrighted ?

it's a royalty-free photo

As a matter of fact there is no actual logo. The spacing could be improved the ad section takes too much space.

 

was that image beautifier you've make used?

i say they are now having issues about having images displayed next to an adsense...


try browsing the forum about google's official word about having images sit next to an adsense...

 

got this from pinoyadsense.com

=============================
We've recently received a number of emails from publishers asking how we feel about the placement of images near Google ad units. There's been some confusion on this issue, and so we turned to our policy team to set the record straight.

Can I place small images next to my Google ads?

We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads. If your visitors believe that the images and the ads are directly associated, or that the advertiser is offering the exact item found in the neighboring image, they may click the ad expecting to find something that isn't actually being offered. That's not a good experience for users or advertisers.

Publishers should also be careful to avoid similar implementations that people could find misleading. For instance, if your site contains a directory of Flash games, you should not format the ads to mimic the game descriptions.

What if I place a space or a line between my images and my ads? Would that work?

No. If the ads and the images appear to be associated, inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads will not make the implementation compliant.

Does this mean I can't place ads on pages with images?

You can definitely place Google ads on pages containing images -- just make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. For example, if you run a stock photography site with a catalog of thumbnail images, don't line the ads up with the thumbnails in a way that could be misleading. Consider using a full border around your ads or changing your ad colors, for example.

What do unacceptable implementations look like?

Here are some examples that wouldn't comply with our policies.

ok thank you

Yea, google is cracking down on that. I would suggest reading the TOS, it's worth it. So far I have gotten one email from them and it has been resolved!

 

thanks ToReRo for info,

... you can have nice header, I like the slogon etc.

 

thanks dude...

will be coming up with a new header...

 

I think Techdoctor sounds better than Techdo .. although Techdo is kinda funky and hip in a way ..
