Just yesterday, as a test on a site that was hit by the second round of Panda (though not too detrimentally), I removed ALL ads. The pages consisted primarily of one large square adsense ad floated to the left at the beginning of a page's content, one adsense banner ad (468x60) near the end of the content, one small 125x125 adsense block at the top of the sidebar, and one small adsense linkunit at the bottom of the sidebar. I figure it will take 2-3 weeks of spidering, indexing, and cacheing before I know if this affects anything or not, so once I know more, I'll post back here about it.
