    I have 3 banner ads and 1 link ad on my site.

    One of the banner ads and the link ad makes very little money. If I was to remove them, would the site make more money.

    I've read that reducing the number of ads can sometimes increase profits, just not sure.

    The only way you or anyone else for that matter will know for sure, is if you just try it and see. :)

    How is the CTR on this banner unit? If it is low, then you shall remove it

    Good point, yes, CTR and CPM is low for this ad, I will replace it and find out if adsense goes up.

    Have others seen an increase in adsense CPM with fewer ads?

    I take it the 3 banners and the 1 link are of the same niche? Fewer ads means nice and simple which is the best so people don't get side tracked so yes less is more!
