I agree with both Edge and Lame_Wolf.

The guidelines given by adsense (stuff pages with as many ads as possible and stick them all above the fold) don't work for me either. And I tried that when testing still worked.

Testing is tricky these days. I tried blocking the other ad networks and my earnings fell to a 6 month low the next day. So I enabled them again and things returned to normal. It could have been a glitch day but I didn't want to test any further.

I find Adsense positions and formats really tricky to test. Even when I through all my dollies out of the pram and changed the prominant big rectangales above the fold to the same below the footer I didn't notice a difference in income.

So they are staying there for want of further information about what on earth is going on. I've not seen that info on here yet. In the meantime I'm doing other cool things above the fold.
