Great post about above the fold ads. But I’m not sure how Google will identify ads, images etc as ads. Adsense they can obviously identify, but banner space, that would be tricky.

In reply to Tuan Do. Yes Tuan, I need to show the monthly revenue to sell it in the price I want. Because it was not monetized, I got very less offers and for that price I was not going to let my blog go off :D

After reading your post, I’ve changed the placement of Ads on my blog SEO MMO Tips. Lets see how much it affects.

In reply to Suresh Khanal. I guess it will be better for your site. Btw, I see you are writing more posts on SEOMMOTips recently, that's great to see you didn't sell it and keep developing the great blog.

Hi Michael,
I think you should remove the link unit. In my experience, the link unit always has the lowest CPC and high CTR, I guess most of the clicks could be counted as invalid clicks. If you can earn just 10 cents a click, it is not worth the placement.
I see your content is almost below the fold in all posts, should you consider moving it up?

Tuan, most of the time my Adsense appears at the bottom of the post or near the middle. I do have a banner ad in my header, but it’s an affiliate ad. Do you think affiliate ads will be included in Google’s consideration?

Thanks for the post, great job!

I have one above the fold, one in the middle of the post (a link unit – is this bad? :() and then below the post

The link unit in the middle of a post does not seem to earn much (often 2-10 cents a click). Thinking to take it out

Hi Ileane,
I heard that Google is detecting just ad scripts at the moment but affiliate and banner ads will be included very soon. Your affiliate ad is possibly counted as a template footprint (which is a non-unique section appearing on all pages), you just need to keep the rate of the footprints to content as low as possible.
Overall, I think BasicBlogTips won’t be affected. :)

Great post Tuan ! That’s a nice step to be taken by Google , and I also agree that placing ads above the fold doesn’t work sometimes .
