Another year has dawned upon us and I personally look forward to an even better prosperous New Year.
May good fortune and new beginnings be bestowed upon you all.
*Some key facts you need to be aware of regarding images and Google AdSense blocks.*
According to feedback from clients using Google’s program they have voiced concerns over the use of images alongside AdSense complaining that it may mislead visitors into associating the image with the ads.
Hmm!
More dilemmas for many people who have found that their click through rates have improved by placing images near AdSense blocks to help ‘blend’ their ads into their web pages.
Even Joel Comm was caught off guard by this new policy change. Will he be rewriting his best selling book The AdSense Code as a result?
My main concern is will this new clause also include images that link to other ad networks, banners or similar. I have sent presented this question in response to the change. Fortunately the code I had at the footer of my blog with images directly above was removed last summer. But I’m sure there are numerous people who have built content sites with an unlimited amount of images blended with Adsense blocks who will be in uproar because they will HAVE to go into each web page to make these essential modifications.
All I can suggest for now is to be vigilant because this will not be the end of many updates to the AdSense policy for publishers. The very best way to keep abreast with Google’s latest trends is to sign up for their email notifications, Inside AdSense as I have done.
That way you get all of the latest scoop before having to wait on articles from your favorite blogs and web sites.
I wonder if Google would be willing to offer their own image code that is targeted by keywords. Sounds ambitious but it would certainly help to improve the ergonomic design of text based ad formats. They could run beta tests and gather feedback from participating publishers before unleashing the new code to all. Yes I’ve also sent this suggestion to Google so watch this space further information.

Besides if anyone can do it surely Google can!
