1. digitalpoint user here- I put these up after you posted on digitalpoint for testers and my CTR has improved 10-25% with the images. Thanks man.

2. When is show #4 with markus frind gonna be available to download?

3. i am not sure taking images in Yahoo’s image DB to use on your own pages is considered “fair use”. Aren’t people risking DMCA complaints to their hosts as well as risking their accounts w/AdSense and/or YPN for violating the other people’s IP rights?

4. Testing this now and will post back the results later 🙂 Nice work!

5. I use it every where now.

6. Thanks Shoe, simple but powerful tool

7. Any word on the Adsense status on this? I have seen many Adsense sites doing this with icons and other images.

8. ShoeMoney Posts Badass Image Tool…

   I saw THIS POST over at shoemoneys site. This tool looks pretty awesome I wish he would post some screenshots though.

   ……

9. Are we positive this is now allowed by YPN, I can not see where they have officialy annopuced it be ign ok and or even where they changed their TOS – I jsut do nto want to run into any issues with this at all! Maybe someone can shed a little more light into this!

   Thanks

10. It’s strange that you don’t even mention the possibility of copyright violation in using this tool.

11. Again as said in the post above

    “Always be sure to check with Yahoo or Google if you think you are violating the TOS at anytime.”

12. wow this saves me SO MUCH TIME thanks!

13. Hello Shoemoney,

    I understadn that disclaimer about the TOS. But no wehre in tehre even says a word about what you are talkign about! It does not say you are allowed to as long as it is site content related. I realy do hope this is in fact true as I woudl love to add them to my site. Can you offer a little clearer insight into if it is truley ALLOWD adn what your contacts at ypn have to say about it! I Just do not want to run into any trouble that is not neccesary!
    Thanks so much
    J

14. shoemoney said he only used them for his ad system.

    seroundtable is who says they are ok to use. read the original post. geez……….

    Also JD spell check makes you not look so stupid

15. another shoemoney tool that rocks keep up the good work $h0e

16. I think it would be even better if it created an image for the 250pix ads

    Great stuff either way Shoe!

17. Isn’t this illegal? I don’t mean violating Adsense/YPN terms either, I mean the theft of other people’s copyrighted images.

18. I started using this morn and already seeing a dramatic increase! rock on shoebaby

19. If you’re worried about copyright issues, here’s a revolutionary idea….create a collage of your own images and then modify the tag in Shoe’s code to include them.

20. Totally awesome tool. This will save me a bit of leg work.

    Can we get a “more images” button to scroll through the other images associated with the search terms?

23. […] Contextual Ads Image Tool A while ago I wrote this tool that uses the Yahoo API to find images then make banners that increase your CTR that go along side your conextual ads. I was not sure 100% if this was ok with Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network’s TOS’s so I never published it and only used it […] […]

24. I have to admit breaking TOS is a fear for me – I wouldn’t be comfortable with this… the tool itself looks very powerful
