Google Adsense广告一向是比较阳春，而且没有太多的设定，一直让我所诟病的是不能设定字体字号，经帅

As for the images next to your ad on
http://www.tech-buzz.net/index.php/2006/06/21/i-am-a-official-sob , I’ve
found that the placement of these images complies with our program
policies. We appreciate you taking the time to check with us first.

Thanks for helping me out.

OK, Now I use images near Ads at my blog. What do you suggest ? So Should i keep them or remove them

“There is the possibility of attributing “undue attention” to the ads if
the images placed above ads are misleading or seem to be directly
associated with the advertisers and their offerings. Because ads are
dynamic, publishers should be very careful not to place images that could
deceive users directly adjacent to the ads. Highly general “stock” images
are less likely to be deceptive than very specific images that suggest a
specific offering at the advertiser’s site.

We would also strongly encourage publishers to maintain a visible border
around ad units if they choose to experiment with placing images directly
alongside ad units. While we realize that this may reduce the
effectiveness of the technique, it’s important to strike a balance between
the potential to overcome ad blindness and the possibility of confusing
users. “

Hmmm – I’m still confused – but I guess the motto is to give AdSense an example and then to ask if it’s allowed. If you get a specific goahead then go for it.

If I were the one paying for those ads through adwords, I’d be pretty upset if someone used a half naked lady to entice people to click on my ad. I’m not a prude or anything, but what does sex and nudity have to do with digital cameras?

Sure, the person clicking on my ad probably would have an interest in digital cameras – but I wouldn’t want my website and ad associated with such things.

Adsense created their rules to try and level the playing field for everyone. If you need half naked women to entice visitors to come to your website and click on your ad, then you should seriously look at the quality of the content you’re providing on your site.

Hello Neela,

Thanks for your emails regarding images near Google ads and your ads in
Firefox.

You’re welcome to place images near the Google ads on your site. However,
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. Such images may draw undue attention to the ads and
prompt unintentional user clicks, thereby artificially inflating
advertiser costs. As you may know, drawing undue attention to ads is in
violation of our program policies, so we’re unable to approve the
placement of all images next to Google ads.

If you choose to experiment with placing images directly next to the ads,
I’d strongly encourage you to maintain a visible border around the ad
units to reduce the possibility of confusing users.

In regards to your second email about the the ads breaking up in Firefox,
please reply to this email and include the details listed below. Your
answers will allow me to investigate your concerns more effectively.

-What browser version are you using?
-What operating system version are you running?

The answer is pretty confusing. What do you suggest ?

“even the second example you’ve put up can get you in trouble.

The rule with images is that you need to either a put a border around the ads or around the images to show that they are not related. That’s the official advice I’ve been given from AdSense.

Those second ads are not conforming to this (although many people are doing it).”

I’ve reconfirmed with adsense about this and they said that it won’t harm my adsense account

I’ve seen many blog’s doing this

What do you think ?
