Google Clarifies AdSense Program Policies
A little humble pie never hurt anyone. And today I'm eating it.
In my recent article Top 10 AdSense Tricks to Boost Your Commission, I suggested using arrows or images next to the AdSense code on your pages to draw attention to the ads.
Overnight, the Google AdSense team sent me an email advising me that the use of arrows or symbols to draw attention to ads is NOT in compliance with their Program Policies. So please make sure you avoid the use of arrows or symbols in this way.
Sadly, this is still not explicitly explained in their Program Policies, but it was specifically mentioned in their email to me. So the arrows are gone from my sites and I've altered my article to avoid confusion. The jury is still out on the use of other images (e.g. photos or clip art) next to ads and I've asked Google to clarify that point.
But given that their own AdSense optimization demo promotes the site AskTheBuilder.com as a succesful AdSense case study and THAT site uses images to draw attention to AdSense ads, I'll let you draw your own conclusion on that one.
