Google adsense what is the best way to display the ads
-
Hi. I am using google adsense and trying to find the best way to have them on my pages but being knew i am not sure the best way to lay them out.
I am playing around with the pages and would love to see some good examples of adsense pages that work.
If anyone can give me advice on the following page and let me know what is wrong or right with this page to help me understand where i am going wrong, then that would be great. I am trying to sort it out so each page is set out the same.

hi keith, i have changed this page here http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com/news/leeds-airport/leeds-airport-celebrity-cheap-flights-airline-new-route
i have moved a google adsense to the left of the content and it looks better but not put any on the top bar because after reading what was suggested on here. i found that people are complaining about having adsense at the top of the page.
do the links count as part of the three ads allowed on the page or is this seperate and also would it be worthwhile having a google search on my site

Testing is definitely the key here. You need to find out what's going to work best for your site and your visitors. Take advice, and make the best first guess you can but don't be afraid to test other ideas. It can be revealing!
Keep an eye on other factors too - you don't want to damage visitor engagement by making the ads too intrusive etc...

Show the MPU (square) unit on the left side of the content, not the right. Just have one unit, not the double-decker. Remove the left sidebar unit. Pace sitelinks in the sidebar or top navigation. Have a wider unit at the bottom of the content page. Split test 4 different colour palettes to see what works best.
That's a good starting point.
It's all about experimentation and testing for results. There's no real golden answer - you have to find it out for yourself by seeing what works for your site.
Good luck.

I have no experience in adsense, but wanted to let you know that just today Google announced it is looking at pages with too many ads above the fold. Read this for more information, and keep it in mind as you plan out where your ads are.

Rel=author: inactive google+ better than no authorship?
some doubts about implementing rel=author: I have no google+ account so far and I have no intention to start activities in google+. Shall I still add rel=author and create a new empty google+ account (without google+ activity but using gmail) or would you recommend rather not to add rel=author in this case? I have 2 sites ranking in top10 SERP for my targeted keyword. One online shop and on another domain a non-commercial site with information on the topic. Would you rather associate same or different google+ accounts (from different people) with these two sites for both rel=author and rel=publisher? thanks.

Will adding to a video's length affect my Rich Snippets?
Most people get to the end of my videos, 85% or so, but there's no call to action at the end of them. So I'd like to suggest what they could do or read next; along the lines of 'Add to basket and receive your XYZ tomorrow'. This will make the video longer and therefore google will know it has changed, I guess. I see no reason for them to object to this but you never you.

Proper Landing Pages for PPC ads
One of our sites is for a local Promotional Products company that focuses on local big businesses to set up accounts with. We are trying to grow our customer base with this site through use of a PPC campaign, but are unsure of where to send them. We were thinking about a page with content about what we do and our contact information, or putting together videos with this information to send them to. Does anyone have any advice for a killer landing page that not only is good for getting conversions for promotional products through PPC, but also could get us organic traffic? Thanks in advance for the help!

How accurate is the Geo-Targeting of Google and Bing/Yahoo PPC ads?
I have a client who serves a local market and who has had trouble in the past with people out of her service area clicking on ads. She asked how accurate the geo-targeting option is. I know it's not possible to be completely accurate resolving the location of IP addresses, but was wondering if there are any recent statistics out there regarding how accurate or inaccurate geo-targeting is. I did some quick searches but did not see any current numbers. Many Thanks!
