[ TUTORIAL ] Good Adsense Blending with graphics/border

Since I'm so glad that adsense accepted my adsense placement at my photoshop tutorial site. I'm going to write a tutorial on how I made this ad placement to help others

This is what adsense approved after I contacted them:


What's great is that you can use graphic borders legally that complies to TOS.

So, here we go:

Step 1: In photoshop, create a box (that's similar to any adsense ad size, I used a half banner here)


What I did was create a blank rectangle and used some custom brushes to remove the "straight" edges

 

Step 2: Chop up the graphics into 2 pieces. You just need the edges of the rectangle (right and left side)
and


Step 3: I'm going to save you some coding time and give you a code that you can copy, paste and use So for the left graphic, rename it so "1.gif" and the right graphic to "2.gif"

Use this code:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><img src="1.gif"></td><td><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="102"><tbody><tr><td body="" bgcolor="#787878"><ADSENSE CODE HERE></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td><img src="2.gif"></td>

Don't forget to change the color code (that's in red) to the same color as your table.

I hope that helps

Yes, I got it reviewed my adsense. If you still feel insecure, you can always get adsense to review it yourself.

Good tip. Let's see it it generates more clicks....

 

Its works for me.. i use it since last year...

 

Thanks for your tips.

 

I'm glad it's still being used Even though this tutorial is old. I haven't used the exact same format in my new website, but it is a variation of the same concept.
