Hi guys I got this pretty cool plugin im using for a download website. I'm wondering if it's legal to put ads on above or below the download link. Thx have a nice day.

Publishers are not permitted to encourage users to click on Google ads in any way. This includes implementing the ads in a way that they might be mistaken for other site content, such as a menu, navigation, or download links.

Be careful when placing links, play buttons, download buttons, navigation buttons (e.g., “Previous" or “Next"), game windows, video players, drop-down menus, or applications near ads because they might lead to accidental clicks. Even if the layout unintentionally leads to accidental clicks, publishers may still receive a violation notification.

It looks okay judging by the screenshot.
I would actually do it and think it's fine, but AdSense is unpredictable.
Thx for sharing. Would you take adsense over short linking?
 
I was doing ths trick for a long time and never got banned. But sometimes when I got a veru high CTR in a specific page the ads stop showing on it and I got a warning on my email.

Oh man, does this mean I shouldn't do it? I wouldn't like to get adsense banned again lol.

Also thanks for helpful advices from your other threads.


Simple Download Monitor.
You can try it but just make a distance between the ad and the button and make it easy for the visitor to understand where is the button.

Anyway, if you are not prepared to lose your account don't do it. This days Adsense is closing a lot of accounts because of this tricks and also for people doing arbitrage...

What do you think about download links? I'm setting up a table of download links on the main page. It either goes through another page(by clicking the download link) like the one showed above or I can just place a download link on the main page without having go into another page. Which do you think creates more revenue for ads?

Using more pages will have higher CTR of course
 
it fine it ok and legal.

if you are encouraging clicks that when you get ban.

what your doing is fine.

don't forget 80% usually mobile so think hard,
when a person on a mobile scrolling will the link be pressed or accidentally pressed as it always nice to get free money accidentally.

your also allowed using any social traffic to increase earnings .
