Ad Units, CTR, & Revenue

    Currently I am experimenting placing more than one ad unit on my blog. At this moment I have the large rectangle ad unit and a link unit. My questions are:

    Would placing more than one ad unit mean less cpc?

    Would placing more than one ad unit lead to higher ctr or a lower ctr?

    and Would it lead to a decrease or an increase in revenue?

    Answer those questions from your experience please :p .

    Assuming visitors to your site click only one ad then more ads = less CPC = lower CTR

    However, if there are more ads on a page it is more likely that more visitors will be interested in them so a low CTR wont necessarily mean fewer clicks. I think.

    There's no harm in displaying all 3 of your ad units.

    I found that one well placed ad on the top of the page is better than 3 poorly placed ads.
