    Hello,

    We all heard about implementing images close to Adsense ads to rise the CTR.
    That will probably rise the CTR up to 20%

    Has anyone tried it and has anyone been banned for too high CTR ?

    My CTR is usualy 1-5% and this is ok with Google but anyone know how much is nt ok ?

    If you keep a clear distiction between images and adsense ads it's ok. It'll improve CTR for sure if you choose your images perfectly to match with the theme of that page. :)

    It can increase although I havent seen anything up to 20% though. The best is to experiment for your self and find out. Each site is different.

    Your CTR can be doubled if you place proper images next to the ads. Of course, make sure you there is a clear separator between ads and images.

    Hi!
    Yestarday, I have sent an email to Adsense Customer service about this question. Adsense + imagen. I'm waiting for news...

    It is legal as what Hemanth said. Try it, for you to get more than $100 on your 1st payment. ;)

    Thanks for your words on this, but I will first wait my $100 and then test it...I know when doing right it is legal, but I'm just thinking I want that $100 first and then experiment a little more..with that $100 I've all costs paid back for now and future projects that I want to launch.
    I dont want to risk that ;)

    I've noticed a BIG difference when placing images near ads. It's definitely worth the effort.

    It is against TOS but Google turns a blind eye against it. But once an advertiser complains about it, you're screwed. My CTR was about 4% steady with the pics next to Google ads. An advertiser complained and I got banned :/

    Goes to show you, you can never be too sure.

    I saw a nice increase on CTR when I did this. But always remember to test test test!

    I think thats what the key is. The images have to be carefully chosen and not just any random ones.
