Stacking Skyscapers

[Livenomadic]

I know adsense now allows us to have multiple ads on one page.

This never really interested me until I found one site (i wont mention it) that placed two wide skyscaper stacked on the right hand column, the end result is adsense ads for 1200 pixels down the page..

I was wondering if anyone tried this and minded talking about how well it did?

I saw this same type arrangement on a site tonight, except that it stacked two "square box" type Adsense units.

The page itself was one of the "scraped" fake search results pages.

The stacked Adsense units seemed to serve this site's purposes well enough. The way everything was crammed onto the page even I almost clicked an Adsense ad by accident.

I have two stacked 120 skyscrapers on one page - principally because the page is quite long and the ads roll off the screen early on. It looks fine, but I can't say that having it has affected either the CTR or earnings from that page.

You know you're allowed to have multiple Adsense units now, right?

You can have up to 3 on one page [google.com] but they state that they will not always display ads in the 2nd or 3rd block.

... and they seem to get used / built in the order that the page is built

I've had mixed results with what order they are populated. I seem to remember that when I had them in the middle, bottom, and right parts of the page that they varied as to what order they were filled.

Anyway, I now have two stacked skyscrapers and just today I started getting ads in the second one (perhaps because they simply didn't have any ads to put on my page).

Ads appear on ad blocks in the order they are in your code. If AS does not have enough ads, subsequent ad blocks will be left empty.

Just make sure you have a default banner to fill in the empty block.

I've seen the second and third blocks of ads left blank on numerous pages. These pages, however, are for high traffic keywords, so I wonder if the media bot has failed in its job or if there are still bugs lurking in the system.

Either way, click thrus are very healthy and CPM levels are really climbed!

I've only just started using them and, while it seems they generally come out top down left to right as the html comes out I did see one page with the first block blank - once.

But then I have the ads switched off most of the time when I'm viewing my own sites so as to not unduly influence the stats.

Also, I've set up channels for each block so I'll at least be able to guage roughly what ratio they come out in..... although that is obviously still very much page by page based.... so the intelligence gathered from that is limited (unless of course I set up one channel per unique page / block - yuck!)

When it comes to stacking skyscrapers or any ads for that matter, is there an actual policy against this? Has anyone had an experience of Adsense emailing them telling them to change the position of their ad placements or not to stack them so close together?

Or is it fair game as long as you are only running no more than 3 ads on the page, even if they are all together or far apart. Any thoughts?
