Default how many ads?

hi

What is the maximum amount of affiliate ads that should be on one page, I am a bit worried that I have too many on my site. I dont want the website to appear like one big advertisement

thanks

While there really is no official number limit, your ads shouldn't distract from and overpower your main content. Also, experiment with placement and volume. See which combinations give you the most clicks. As a general rule, less is definitely more but some layouts/designs can accommodate more ads without it looking too over-the-top.

Hello Alana, I agree with mirage. Your website looks good, the banners are not huge so they don't really distract people. A little adsense at the top and a 468x60 at the bottom. I think it is fine, just keep tweaking things and keep up the good work!

I agree with the previous two comments regarding your ad sizes. You site doesn't look like one big advertisement. You have them nicely located in your sidebar, with your navigation and content to the left. This means that your visitor should see your content before the ad banners (hopefully).

Alana,

I agree with the previous three posters regarding your ad size. I don't think your ads are overpowering the content of your site at all.

There is no points to worry about.
I do not think that at your site too many affiliate ads, it looks nice.
