Too many Google Ads?

Alien · 10-08-2011, 03:32:26 PM

I'm trying a little experiment here with a one page site, with a previously unused domain reg'd earlier this year:

My Online Insurance

Do people think there's too many Google Ads here?

Any comments on placement welcome, I thought I'd see what happens with these.

Thought you were only allowed 3 instances of google ads per page?

I thought that too, so I was surprised they all display.

I wonder if I'll get penalised though for leaving more than 3?

Thought Adsense only let you have 3 blocks? I think the site in general looks nice, but the third column of ads is overkill, lol.

I've found for me personally that putting ads at the top of each post results in more clicks than any other place, and I tend to favour fewer ads because otherwise I get low paying ones displayed too much - though I guess that's not an issue with insurance!

Edit: 3 blocks thing - why risk getting banned? Also, you need a privacy policy.

You can't get banned for the number of ad units you have on there at present, from Google guidelines:

Currently, AdSense publishers may place up to three AdSense for content units on one webpage. You may also place a maximum of three link units and two search boxes on each webpage.

He only has 3 content units from what I can see? And 2 link units.

Blossom · 10-08-2011, 04:24:03 PM

I see 5 link units. Are some of them set to a mix of text/image?

Thanks everyone.

Thanks Systreg.

I've got:

3 Text blocks
1 Search
2 Link Units

Other ads are affiliate stuff.

Out of curioisity, how well do search box and link ads tend to perform when compared to content ads?

Crap, only just realised that I have never had a privacy policy on any of my Adsense sites... Perhaps that's why my account has been closed down some time ago.

Is this a standard policy provided by Google?
