So Adsense finally made a blog post on the images next to ads issue.
I first saw this image next to ads idea last year in DP forums.I implemented in in my blog then and it worked quite well.That blog is now adsense free coz its a personal blog.Dosen’t perform well with adsense.
Two of my sites were using it but I emailed adsense support to asked if its okay beforehand and I got the go ahead.I took off the images last couple of months when I saw post in DP forums about people getting banned coz of it.
Today I have changed one of my site’s ad placement and it will be interesting to see how the site performs in the next few days thought it might be a bit hard to track as the site dosen’t get much visitors and hence the earnings are quite low.
Bottom line is, before you try anything creative with the ads, email the adsense support team first.Attach a screenshot or something and ask them if it’s within the TOS.My emails to them have always been replied promptly (usually within 1-3 days).On rare occasions, I received a reply within hours of emailing them.
