Adsense Image Ads + Text Ads = Higher CTR?

Google Adsense stirred probloggers last month when they made a statement about images aligned beside Adsense ads. I thought the Adsense Beautifier plugin was probably the culprit.

So, I got this idea of aligning an image-only ad and text-only ad side by side when I reviewed my photo gallery. Take a look at these screenshot:

Image Ads

To just show image ads, make sure to have this line in your Adsense code: google_ad_type = “image”;

Text Ads

To just show text ads, make sure to have this line in your Adsense code: google_ad_type = “text”;

Basically, you’ll end up with an image ad beside a text ad and there’s no policy against this in the new Adsense TOS. Would love to hear from an Adsense Rep how this one fares with them.

    Although this is an old post, I still want to know why my 4 text link ads on my sidebar, which was set up on my account, is now lessened to three link ads. Just wondering.

    That’s very clever, but when I read the title, I thought you’ll answer the question.
    So, did your CTR increased?

    I did the same. But instead of adsense image ads, I used Adsense referral ads just beside their text ads. You don’t even have to put a border line between them, because they are both “Ads by Google”.

    this should be fair game since your are just putting 2 google ads side by side. it is not as if you chose the images. in your case, google did.
