How Many Adsense Ads Per Page

    Hi, I recently bought a course by a successful adsense marketer. In his book, he indicates to put 4 adsense ads on every page (1 link unit at the top of your nav bar), one just under your H1 title, one in the middle of the page with text wrapping around it and one at the end bleow all content. Doesn't that destroy your website from selling anything else ? Won't visitors be annoyed by all the ads ?

    I guess you have to choose between a profitable adsense site only, or an affiliate site, or sales site with minor ads.

    However, how much you make is determined by how many people click on your ads, if you use the right ad size, color of links etc., how much google pays for that click (based on samrt pricing now I hear - if the adwords advertiser makes money on the visitor, the click is worth more) and how much traffic you get. So ...

    If you have three or four ads on a page, wouldn't the click value drop for the ads at the bottom of the page - doesn't google pay more per click for the ads at appearing first on the page ?

    I'm testing all of this right now (fairly new to the adsense game), but it looks like the mega ads might be necessary.

    For anyone here who is making a lot of money with Adsense, is it best to just have one ad per page (under the heading at the top, or in the middle of the page), or many ads ?

    Your comments are appreciated.

    Have a nice weekend.

    you should probably go and read their TOS. I think that if you are an affiliate trying to sell a product then you shouldn't bother with ppc ads becuase it will take the traffic from your site and let someone else make the sale. Why would you want to make a $.25 click with adsense when you can make a $10 commision from the sale?

    Also, if you are building a site purely to try and get people to click your adsense ads you should blend them into the body of your page as well as having an ad block next to your navigational bar.

    If your site is geared towards converting sales on high-ticket items, it doesn't make sense to use Adsense at all, as that's just another way for someone else to steal your customer. But if your site is not geared for converting affiliate sales, you're right, three adsense ad blocks on one page can get to be much. It's always best to space your ads out so that only one ad block shows up per scroll, but this requires a lot of content between the ads. How it looks to your visitors mostly depends on the value of your content -- if it's good, they'll stick around regardless of how many ads you have. If it's not, well, then they won't.
