Yesterday Google updated its Adsense guidelines and it is now against TOS to put images next to Adsense ads. This change in policy affects just about every site I own and Im sure affects the majority of webmasters out there. I will be editing all my sites today once I get home from work since I don’t want to get banned from Google. This will probably have a negative affect to my earnings, but hopefully not terribly as I have plent of ads that never had any images next to them. Looks like I’ll need to get a bit creative and figure out how I want to layout my ads now.
