How many ads do you place on your website?

[PenguinManiac]

When dealing with an ad network, one of the factors that influences your revenue the most is, of course, the number of ads (alongside their placement and the number of clicks they receive).
How many do you place on your website? So you spread them all over the page, or do you gather them in some particular portions?

1-3 at the most.

Usually one under content and one in sidebar.

Then I sometimes use a third ad in the bottom of the sidebar as well - or mixed into the content.

I try NOT to be annoying with my ads because there's nothing more annoying and skeevy then when you see a site with 900 ads and picture slideshows and you know they are just milking people for money.

Most people hate ads and the easiest way to drive away those who don't already block ads is to display too many ads. This is why I usually have only two ads on my blog. One on the side bar and another at the bottom of the page.

That however doesn't stop me from including a number of affilite links. Those usually go in the blog posts.

Advertising always looks annoyingly, so you should allocate a minimum of advertisements.
