<p>For my case, the answer is <strong>YES</strong>, although the amount is not much and each link that I managed to sell vary between $5 -$12.50/month, it&#039;s still a significant amount of income for a relatively low-traffic blog. Implementation wise, it&#039;s very easy for a Wordpress blog and vBulletin forums and doubts about whether it&#039;ll conflict with Google Adsense&#039;s adverts have been cleared.<br />

<p>Recently, there has been a popular trend among Adsense publishers to display images next to their ads in order to attract more clicks but the question of whether they are against Adsense TOS is never really answered/understood very well. Generally, the rule followed by many is to not attract <strong>direct</strong> attention to the ads (e.g. an arrow pointing to the ads or an image with Click Here) and some have claimed that Adsense support said images with a light border around the images are fine.<br />

<p>I&#039;ve recently been exposed to this <a href="https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23168">tag</a> which informs the mediabot for Adsense where in your site, it should search for relevant keywords for displaying ads. It looks something like this:</p>
<div class="codesnip-container" >
<div class="codesnip">&lt;!� google_ad_section_start �&gt;<br />
� targeted content here �.<br />
&lt;!� google_ad_section_end �&gt;</div>
</div>
<p>I think on this blog, since it&#039;s focussed almost exclusively on SEO or Adsense, most ads displayed are of those nature but the code could be very useful for personal blog owners, who normally writes whatever that comes to their mind and usually have lotsa links on their sidebars. Other good candidates for this code would be forums where you can target a specific part of the discussion for the ads to show.<br />
