g1msd, our (travel) sites are in a similar position and I had a similar concern - there isn't too much advertising ATF but every article has a large photo of the destination at the top of the page, which means there is very little text visible above the fold.

Certainly the initial run to penalise sites with too much advertising / too little content above the fold had no impact at all on our visitor numbers, so for the moment I am optimistic that they can distinguish 'content that isn't text' from advertisements.
