Perhaps some kind of <!--#include virtual="/code.txt" -->
I don't know if that would violate AdSense TOS but if someone here with more coding savvy could suggest the proper coding I'd sure email AdSense support and get their opinion.
Thanks,
Tom
Are you convinced that the placement is causing this 'Bourbon Effect'?
This does stay within TOS as you are not modifying the code in any way. Just moving it.
Example: <p style="position:absolute;top:10px;left:10px"> ... adsense code ... </p>
Of course you would need to leave room for it in the html, but this block could be placed just before the closing body tag.
I have leaderboards on most of my pages and Bourbon update was VERY good to me.
I've seen a site that doens't have AdSense get punished badly - and a site which has AdSense above the fold remain unaffected (or even slightly up).
Given the broad list of reasons why some sites have been hurt with the latest update (mine included), I think the position of adsense code in the page has got to be last when ranked by plausibility.
Don't the search engines ignore JavaScript anyway?

I think it is much more likely that Yahoo scrappers and dup contents filters have killed sites

Before making any changes, take a look at your site with SEO in mind.
You might see something that's right under your nose.
changes = in google's control
updates =in google's control
websites titles = in google's control
up or down traffic = in google's control
website placement = in google's control
sandbox = in google's control
customer service = in google's control
response time = in google's control
making $$$ with google = in google's control
website owners = maybe in 10% control
Choosing to ignore Google's nonsense = in YOUR control
Adding quality content for your visitors to enjoy = in YOUR control
Choosing the phrases to build your content around in order to attract the most visitors = in YOUR control
Before some Google sycophant tries to edify me by explaining how they provide the most search traffic, I haven't given a flip about Google's SERPs for months and I do just fine from a steady flow from Y and MSN. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to have first-page rankings for my competitive search terms at the Big G, but you gotta FREE YOUR MIND at some point and stop CARING so much about it.
The whole key to this is to build content pages around terms that are actually searched for at the major engines a significant number of times on a daily basis. Over time, you'll find that you get great traffic that is highly targeted from private links and Y, MSN, and all the lesser engines.
So many people focus all of their energy on their homepage, but I find that most of my sites get 75% of their traffic from visits that begin on an interior page. Build your websites with a smart strategy and what G does begins to matter less and less.

That's good advice, but it doesn't change the fact that Google is by far the #1 search engine, and taking a "Who needs Google?" attitude is like leaving money on the table.
Many webmasters have lost everything in the last update or the update before. Good clean sites. Even large authorities that I have seen. SO in order to find some sort of solution there have been discussions throwing in all different theories and experiences so that webmasters have something to compare. Webmasters have to learn not jump the gun looking for a quick fix!
P.S. Yes you can add as much content as you want but if you don't do it in a way that search engines like you may not be able to tap into the visitor rich search market for your topic. Keeping google at 4% of you site's traffic is a hard thing to do especially when you rank well for about any page you add to your site. It is easier to keep google at %4 of your total incoming traffic when you get 400 visitors from them. BUT if google lands on your side, keepig google at 4% of your visitors when they decide to give you 750,000-1,000,000 visitors is a hell of a thing to do.
I didn't see your post EFV but you are right. Learn to survive without it but TAP INTO IT whenever POSSIBLE! It is similar to advertising on tv but not having to pay for it. IF you can DO IT!
Those webmasters who took a beating are trying to figure out a way to tap back into it. IF there is a PROBLEM with your site adding content won't get the job done but FINDING the problem and taking care of it will.
Sure enough.
Be sure to take 3 million from the google search market 3 million from Y! MSN markets at the same time. Build some links and what not for the one million.
But take them all away! Can your site(s) survive on brand alone? Right there is your survival question!
taking a "Who needs Google?" attitude is like leaving money on the table.
The point I was driving at (without ever writing it in so many words) is that what you do with your precious time is the real issue. How many webmasters spend hours every week trying to tease out the latest Google incarnation? I take the view that I'd rather give my visitors something new and worthwhile to read than spend that hour or two yanking out clumps of my remaining hair in angst over the latest Google affront.
Yes, there will be fewer of those readers if my pages never achieve the Holy Grail of a high ranking at G, but meanwhile, more and more quality pages start ranking nicely at Y and MSN and the little fish. I realize it's a matter of degrees, and it's easy to get used to the relative comfort of a living made from organic G traffic. But that's a double-edged sword, would you not agree? Just look at the near-suicidal reactions by many to this latest Google rebirth.
Create a div on the top and on the bottom.. On the bottom put the adsense code.. Once the page loads, put the innertext or innerhtml of the bottom adsense div into the top div and remove the contents of the bottom div.
And You had a terrible low CTR, because the innerHTML transfer causes a reload of the ad
I seen how you lit up spacy when you got your #1. I seen how you enjoyed the money you started to make. But go ahead and try to disallow the bot and you will notice that you do care!
Help?

it makes sense...........doesnt it?
Great question,
I've been meaning to check up on this as i forgot what i had read about it but...
If i remember correctly only the first 200 or so lines in a page really matter and lines of javascript do count in that. I use a .js to be safe.
Could someone elaborate on this or confirm it?
