I've read the bit in the FAQ about "commercial" - and there are several links to that from various threads - but that only answers why and when you should set your ad level High.
What about the two in-between levels of low and medium. Does anyone know if there is an explanation that covers all four levels anywhere?
You are not allowed to use "low" or "medium" on a commercial Hub.
If you Hub qualifies as non-commercial, you can choose no ads, low ads, or medium ads.
The only thing that changes is the number of ads placed on your Hub.
If you want to make more money, have more ads.
If you don't care about the money and you don't want you readers distracted, have fewer ads.
On a non-commercial Hub, it's entirely up to you.

Surely if it's non commercial, you wouldn't have any ads, or am I missing something Jenny?
About-The-Home, by non-commercial, Jenny is likely referring to the Hubpages use of the term to mean anything that doesn't explictly promote your own site/affiliate link/other profit generation.
Thanks, Jenny, for taking the time. I kind of guessed that the Ad level controlled how intrusive the ads would be either by controlling the quantity of ads or their size/location. Now that I know that it's a quantity control I'm still interested in finding out the rest.
What I couldn't find was the differences between the three non-commercial levels. Does anyone know if it's elaborated on anywhere?

While editing a Hub in the HubTool, you may have noticed the “settings” section as part of the Hub Control Tabs in the right sidebar. This is where you can set the ad level settings for a Hub. You can choose from High, Medium, Low, and None. Because the Medium and Low settings were sparsely used...

I am still getting full-width Google ads in the middle of my pages, messing up the layout.The impact of this is that it looks like the Hub is only a few paragraphs long, and readers are unlikely to scroll down far enough to find the full-width ad and the text below it.This can't be good for Adsense...

Is there anything happening behind the scenes?

I once received a warning that switching off ads on one of my pages was against TOS because the page was considered commercial. It was a long, deeply boring and rather technical effort concerning Synthetic Biology (google if you dare).I deleted the page (it never got any views anyway).Now Paul...

Would this work or is ranking predominately determined by a network site's rating? Would it help get more traffic so that backlinks would potentially be more likely to be produced pointing to an article, then ads could be turned back on again later?

I have so far put up one hub page. Before I signed up for AdSense, there were already several ads on the page.After I had my AdSense thing set up and active, there were just as many ads as before. How do I know which ads I'm (potentially) earning money from?Do I have any control over...
