AdSense Trick: Numeric beside AdSense Ads

Filed in: Adsense Tips, Make Money Online — August 26th, 2006

We knew images beside AdSense ads can increase CTR dramatically, but we must implement it very careful. Google does not allow publishers to use symbols or misleading images that direct attention to the AdSense ads.

Generally, it is fine if you are using some unrelated images with visible border beside AdSense ads, as shown in this post. However, the following ad implementation is NOT VALID.

Adsense-Numeric
Screenshot of AdSense ads implementation with numbers in the image. An invalid ad implementation.

What’s wrong with the ad implementation?

I must admit that it looks neat and nice. But, the mistake is the numeric characters in the image. It tries to trick people to think that it is a list of links. This is a no-no.

My two cents

I would suggest replace the numeric characters with some meaningless images or colors. Yes, the CTR will dropped. Well, better to be safe than sorry, right?

As I always advice… if you have any creative ad implementation, please first send a copy(either URL or screenshot) to Google AdSense team and ask for advice.

Good luck!

    How was it? Any better images to replace that boring one?
