Ad and image placement: a policy clarification

[Mong]

Now this kind of images placement is not allowed.


And following example is great set back for arcade website publishers.


From Adsense Blog.

Now be careful and make changes asap

Good Luck.

It all depends on the site and it's traffic. Sites like SprintUsers.com uses images right next to the ads in the Archive with no space or border and is permitted to doing so, while other sites are warned or banned on the spot.

My suggestion is contact adsense first before placing images next to your ads.

There's already a thread for discussing this.
