How much of AdSense blocks is enough, and how much is not too much?

I mean, let's look at the example of my custom-developed-parked-domain-with-content site www.TheGuy.net:

- there is a block at the footer (not very attractive place)
- there is a link block in the middle of the post (viewable only when looking at the whole article - Read more)
- both of these block are pretty much very discrete

I'm afraid to lose visitors if I put more ads on a page, because they didn't come to my site to look at the ads - but the content, and if I have more ads then content - in my eyes it look bad.

What do you think, and would you anyhow put some more (and where?) ads?


Thank you


P.S. I also have the Co-op search which shows ads in the search result page and there is also a Amazon.com search with my affiliate ID, but I don't think those two are making any "blur" or displeasure with the visitors (correct me if I'm wrong)

P.P.S. of course, if you have any other suggestion regarding this web site and possible monetization options - please let me know.

Well 3 ads block and one links block are good as per Google's TOS

I think you should read some tutorials in our Tips section.

Some articles are there for improving adsense earnings. For better placements and on how to get more traffic to your site.

Thanks.

I think adsense blocks that doesn't harass the users away and are legitimate according to google's Terms of service are enough.

Blocks at proper places will help you get much better earnings then number of blocks at one place.
