Sexy Adsense Ad

Today Darren from Problogger.net has posted a screenshot of a Sexy Girl Holding a Adsense Ad. He found this ad while he was browsing some site. And he feels that publishers are may get banned by Adsense Team just to earn some quick cash.

Screenshot: 

These ads usually grab visitor’s attention and make them click on it. Unfortunately this ad is against Adsense TOS, so don’t think of implementing this ad on your blog.

But According to JohnTP, ads seen on my blog are against Adsense TOS too because they have images close to them (without border). So I have dropped a email to Adsense Team and I am looking forward for their reply. If these ads are against Adsense TOS, then I will remove it.

Thanks for informing me about this.

    OK, I asked Adsense about placing ads near images. and here is their reply

    Hello Thilak,

    Thanks for your emails regarding images near Google ads and your ads in
    Firefox.

    You\’re welcome to place images near the Google ads on your site. However,
    we ask that publishers not place misleading images near Google ads or use
    images that appear to be directly associated with the advertisers and
    their offerings. Such images may draw undue attention to the ads and
    prompt unintentional user clicks, thereby artificially inflating
    advertiser costs. As you may know, drawing undue attention to ads is in
    violation of our program policies, so we\’re unable to approve the
    placement of all images next to Google ads.

    If you choose to experiment with placing images directly next to the ads,
    I\’d strongly encourage you to maintain a visible border around the ad
    units to reduce the possibility of confusing users.

    In regards to your second email about the the ads breaking up in Firefox,
    please reply to this email and include the details listed below. Your
    answers will allow me to investigate your concerns more effectively.

    -What browser version are you using?
    -What operating system version are you running?
    -What is the exact URL that is causing you trouble?
    -What is the specific error message you are seeing?
    -Does this problem occur every time you view the page?
    -When did you put our ad code on your site?
    -What ad blocking or personal firewall software do you have installed, if
    any?
    -What is the date and time you saw this problem?
    -Can you send me a screenshot showing this problem? You can find
    instructions for capturing one in our Help Center:
    http://www.google.com/support/.....swer=38066.

    For additional questions, we encourage you to visit the AdSense Help
    Center (http://www.google.com/adsense_help), our complete resource center
    for all AdSense topics. Alternatively, feel free to post your question on
    the forum just for AdSense publishers: the AdSense Help Group
    (http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help).

    Sincerely,

    Becky
    The Google AdSense Team

    OK, I specifically asked AdSense about this page. So they say:

    As for the images next to your ad on
    http://www.tech-buzz.net/index.....ficial-sob , I’ve
    found that the placement of these images complies with our program
    policies. We appreciate you taking the time to check with us first.
