Hey thank you again. But it still sticks to the ads above. Any recommendation on that?
Should I add margin-top: 10px; for example?
YEP that solved it :-) Thank you for the help


Results 91 to 100 of 156

do you mind allowing the URL so I could see what ad you are referring to?

Utilizing this placement now. I will let you know what kind of results I get.
I am in the video game niche so expect a lower than average CTR and lower CPC

do you think this placement will have a negative effect with the new google rules?

I can't tell but I doubt it. I don't see any negativ effect currently, more an opposit. Since 3 weeks I get a traffic boost.
This algorithmic change does not affect sites who place ads above-the-fold to a normal degree, but affects sites that go much further to load the top of the page with ads to an excessive degree or that make it hard to find the actual original content on the page.
I wont change a thing unless I am affected.

That's how I read it I just wondered what other people thought

Be VERY careful with this. I implemented this ad type and google's new algorithm STRONGLY penalizes sites with too many ads above the fold (even though I am using their ads). This is a new update so just measure search engine traffic for a few weeks after implementing, maybe you'll be fine. My site, ((login for URL)) , got destroyed with an 80% decrease in traffic.
So just a fair-warning to keep alert with this new Google update.

So you are saying that after you installed this ad placement you got an 80% traffic decrease?
When did you install my ad placement?
When did the drop occur exactly?
From how many uniques per day to how many did you drop?

Did you change anything else besides implementing my Ad?
I still stand by it that I doubt that this Ad placement will trigger the new algorithm:

I will update you guys as soon as I find out more from my host. Rather angry with them right now.
