Google now disallow pictures near AdSense

Can I place small images next to my Google ads?

We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads. If your visitors believe that the images and the ads are directly associated, or that the advertiser is offering the exact item found in the neighboring image, they may click the ad expecting to find something that isn't actually being offered. That's not a good experience for users or advertisers.

Publishers should also be careful to avoid similar implementations that people could find misleading. For instance, if your site contains a directory of Flash games, you should not format the ads to mimic the game descriptions.

What if I place a space or a line between my images and my ads? Would that work?

No. If the ads and the images appear to be associated, inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads will not make the implementation compliant.

Just saw this at some other forums. Check this out over here.

ah yes i have seen many sites that add little images next to the adds to make it look like they were part of it but looking back it seems they have changed but i have not been to that website for a while

Well that's something that's gonna put a lot of people out of the business It was the new trend to blend the ads even more
