how about putting keywords you don't want adsense to pick up on, but for users to use in images rather than text?

Good question. Would google frown on that? are you misleading their mediabot?

oops... misclicked, I meant to post this as a reply to [webmasterworld.com...] rather than start a new thread...

but just for fun, i'll continue this train of thought, you could use PHP's GD library to create images dynamically that contain the "negative keyword text" that you don't want the adsense spider to pick up on. thus you aren't really sending different content to the mediabot or to users or hidin content, etc. of course this would lead to other problems with real spidering...

I would tread carefully here. If you would feel comfortable explaining to an AdSense rep that this is due to chronic mistargeting for example, that would probably be OK. If you're trying to get around "stopwords" or hide words that might be red flags, I would be vewwy vewwy careful.

If you really need to do this, I would have Javascript write out the text, rather than use an image. There are various reasons, but the main one is that, even with CSS, the letters in the image will not always exactly match the surrounding plain text.

well, i would never-ever do such a thing. like i said, i was attempting to post a reply to another topic... just throwing out ideas for those "grey area" adsense users out there.
