Google AdSense Policy Clarification: Ad & Image Placement

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Hi Friends,

Do you use image next to your Adsense ads? or better yet do you use AdSense Beautifier plugin for your WordPress blog?

Google policy team will clear the confusion surrounding this issue.

Can I place small images next to my Google ads?

We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads. If your visitors believe that the images and the ads are directly associated, or that the advertiser is offering the exact item found in the neighboring image, they may click the ad expecting to find something that isn’t actually being offered. That’s not a good experience for users or advertisers

What if I place a space or a line between my images and my ads? Would that work?

No. If the ads and the images appear to be associated, inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads will not make the implementation compliant.

Does this mean I can’t place ads on pages with images?

You can definitely place Google ads on pages containing images — just make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. For example, if you run a stock photography site with a catalog of thumbnail images, don’t line the ads up with the thumbnails in a way that could be misleading. Consider using a full border around your ads or changing your ad colors, for example.

Below are the sample of the unacceptable implementation of images with Google Adsense ads.

I’m not sure about AdSense Beautifier though but it is best if you contact Google for clarification. As a better precaution, I’m not using the plugin anymore…Click here to read more from the source.
