I run a blog and I have one 160x600 banner, 300x250 box, 1 search field and 1 link only unit. Is that okay? I'm not so sure. Any ideas?
u can have total of 6 ads which geoes like 3 ads and 3 link units = 6 ads i think its ok to have search along with these 6 ads which will make it 7 in total but i suggest u confirm it with google b4 u experiment.
The best way to find out stuff like this is to check the official Adsense help site. There you can get a definite answer without worrying about people just guessing. Here is the official statement: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47333
I agree less is more, I now just run one big block top left on my pages and my earnings per click are roughly 809 times what they were when I ran all three ad blocks. Of note I find the search box earnings to be abismal. Dickie
Search box doesn't earn anything at all. I find above the fold text only ads get some clicks even though small, it still has clicks.
