How to add photos to your Google Adsense ads

    I feel Increasing your CTR (Click Through Ratio) is as easy as adding a few pictures above your ads. Do let me know if there are any differences

    Here is how to do it:

    Making the changes to the Adsense ad is as easy as “Copy and Paste.”

    Here is the code:

    [table cellspacing="0" width="728" border="0" cellspadding="0"]
    [tbody][tr]
    [td width="182"][img src="X" /][/td]
    [td width="182"][img src="X" /][/td]
    [td width="182"][img src="X" /][/td]
    [td width="182"][img src="X" /][/td]
    [/tr]
    [tr]
    [td colspan="4"]
    GOOGLE AD CODE HERE 728x90
    [/td]
    [/tr]
    [/tbody]
    [/table]

    First thing to do is replace the brackets [] with less than/greater than symbols <>. “Find and Replace” in Word or Notepad is the easiest way to do this.

    Then you will have to change “X” to the location of your pictures – so it will look something like
    /images/abc.jpg or domainname.com/foldername/picturename.

    This is where you have uploaded your 4 pictures. I recommend you resize them to 140X100 before you upload them. Use pictures that are related to your ads. Make sure that you don’t violate any copyright laws.

    You will also have to replace the line “GOOGLE AD CODE HERE 728x90” with your Google Adsense code for a 728X90 Leaderboard. You can get this code at the Adsense content page. Tweak it a little to get the link, text, background, and border colors the way you want them and that should do it.

    You can also do this for different size ads – experiment a little bit – but the main idea is to attract attention to your ads to get additional clicks.

    Interesting but wouldn't this mean that you are changing the innitial adsense code by making the code integrate with the adsense code and therefor violating TOS?

    I believe this is the case otherwise i would want some backup on this:)

    There has been much talk about this, my take is that it doesn't violate TOS as you are changing placement, not the actual adsense code.

    Nice idea! I do not think this would constitute changing the ad code. You have merely changed the page layout around the ad. I may try this..
