The absoulte best adsense placement (gets 5-10% ctr)

DO NOT DO THIS IT VIOLATES GOOGLE TOS:
http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/12/ad-and-image-placement-policy.html



by placing a text ad link like I have at the bottom of www.armastevs.com
like this:



using this code:

<table border="0" cellspadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="728">    
    <tr>
        <td width="182">link 1</td>
        <td width="182">link 2</td>
        <td width="182">link 3</td>
        <td width="182">link 4</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="4">
         adsense code here
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Code (markup):

This is best to be done at the footer. You can try elsewhere but footer is the best from what I have figured out

Its debatable weather or not you want you want to make the 4 images functional (such as making them links to "Home") like I have done.

If anyone gets any results with this will you share?

 

it's against the TOS to have images so close to the ads

 

I was under the impression we couldn't do that, since it is drawing attention to your ads with the images. I would consult someone at Google before keeping this up on your website.

 

oh crap that sucks!!!!

 

Hehe, aren't you glad you found that out before someone reported you and you got banned?

 

heck yeah.....the sites already changed now =)

Would I be allowed to do this with adbrite or adultadworld?

 

I saw many sites that put adsense and adbrite at the same page, is it not against the adsense TOS?

 

Using adsense and other ad networks is nothing wrong until the colour or the font of the ads differs.

 

You can't dso this.
It's against TOS

 

I'm just curious why some people like high CTR. If you got high CTR it will only make google thinks that something fishy is going on it's either a click fraud or your violating the TOS.

 

because you get money...lol

 

it will get you banned.

 

That's what I'm trying to say. If you got banned you wouldn't recieved any money.

 

AdEngage has that feature. You don't need to place images next to links, they will be placed automatically.

PS - your site looks broken in IE7, you may want to get a designer look at it

 

what a bizzare topic

 

You can draw attention to your ads with images, like background images like I use but you cannot use images beside your ads that deceive the visitors into believing that the pics are product pics or represent the ads in any way. Andy Beard asked Matt Cutts specifically about the use of background images and was told that they were ok unless they attempted to deceive visitors into thinking it is a product pic.
