Inside AdSense

it seems that putting image next to adsense is now against TOS.

[scoooooty]

that sucks lol.

I allways liked how Tutorials - Pixel2life Free Tutorial Search Engine had there ads set up so it look like they were just another tutorial. (looks like they have allready changed it)

But I can see why they decided to stop people from doing it. Its a big change because alot of sites do set there ads up next to a image to make it look like its just part of the site.

this is correct scoooty, i have my ctr changed when i have put an image just above the ads, but by the time i have read it, I immediately remove the image.
it seems that google adsense team are now being bombarded by email on "why's" lol

I think you can still use absolutely unrelated abstract images next to adsense, however Google got more strict about it.

the images new the ads are allowed as long as they are not related to the ads, yet how can u know what exactly type of ads will be displayed? sometimes there are very surprising ads and u cannot predict it...

correct on that friend, you will never know what ads will show. filtering of ads can help to at least not to display ads related to your images.

yep, that is true, u r right... i used to have image near adsense, it was an msn pawn saying "new", then they released the new rule about images been prohibited, so i decided to remove it, to stay secure. it has affected the revenue pretty much i should say, halved the clicks on that channel....
