    I am trying new ways to make people click on the ads. I devised a new plan last week and CTR has improved ever since. But now I doubt if this is against Google's TOS. Check the below screenshot.

    [​IMG]

    The download link is the one with the text "Video" given below the ads. I have specifically said "Click the download link". And none of the ads are really download links. So I wonder if it is against TOS.

    Please post in your opinions.

    I think its crossing the line. Your text is above the ad asking for clicks in a misleading way. I would really think of a new way to get clicks and change that ASAP.

    You will get banned for this. This is drawing attention to the ads.

    What if I change the text in bold from "Click the download link below.........." to "Look down for the download link"?
