Is HubPages placing too many ads above the foldd?
I read knapp's great SEO hub and tried the Google Browser Size Tool on one of my hubs. According to the Google tool, placing ads at the top and on the side both are too many ads for good ranking. Should the ads at the top continue?
I don't know, but I do know that my income from HP has gone up recently. I have it set for HPA, but I've been finding a larger amount of Adsense income recently.
Great! My income doesn't seem to be suffering either. Well, it's not a lot yet (read that "minor bucks"), but it is improving all the time, and neither Panda nor Penguin seemed to affect that slow rising. So I felt I should ask about this.
Clearly you've not taken notice of the new experimental layouts that are absent a large portion of the ads...
I've looked at them, but understood that they were still being added to, function by function - as each function was tested. I have assumed that the ads were not in their final version. Clearly, nobody from HP has notified us otherwise.
If the placing of ads is helping in increased earnings then it should be ok

Are ads only placed in the vertical position at the far right, outside of the hub text now? I just noticed on several of my hubs and others. I thought it was just me and began to tweak text and rearrange capsules to see if they would come back, but they didn't. Did I miss or overlook this change?...

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...

There is a real need to purge Amazon ads from this site but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it.Pages that have multiple Amazon ads but get good traffic from search engines are obviously not a problem. Google will have hit them long ago if they were triggering spam filters.What...
