Are fewer ads always better? Google recently announced that it will penalize sites with more than three ads above the fold. Frequently, these sites are low-quality sites with super-SEO’d, thin content landing pages designed to have people quickly bounce off the site when they click on one of the ads.

Interesting post to say the least, Ileane. Many people struggle, I'm sure, with determining the amount of monetization to put on a site. This is a helpful way to end that struggle. Thanks!

It's a tricky question. Most blog visitors prefer less ads on a website, because it looks "clean" and more organized. However, ads generate revenues and are necessary.

I think it's crucial to find a balance between these two extremes, and keep experimenting until you hit it.
