Placing images next to Adsense ads has successfully increased the Click-through rate on many sites. If you’re using this tactic, though, make sure of one thing: that the image can’t be construed as being part of the ad it’s next to.
Let’s say you place an image beside an ad, and the image looks like it’s part of the ad. Visitors will probably click through based on that image, erronously thinking that they’ll end up on some sort of product page. This results in a number of unqualified clicks to advertisers’ ads.
When the people at Google see this happening, they “ask that the publisher place a visible border between the ads and the images, to make it clear that the images are not being served by Google on behalf of the advertisers. We generally do not ask publishers to remove the images completely, we just ask that they add borders to avoid confusion.”
So, to head off unqualified clicks and Adsense compliance warnings from Google, think about adding those borders ahead of time…

Of course, an image can increase the attraction of your web page and this is really a hot tip for adsense users. However, it is very important to note that placing an image with adsense (without a clearly marked border) can damage you into ways. IF Google Receives too much unqualified hits then you may suffer the wrath of Google. On the other hand, the users may get frustrated to see meanlingless ads for them .
