You already have 3 on there which is about the standard. You really don't want more than that unless you have a really long page. For what you have on the page now, 3 ads is plenty.

Lets say I would prefer two on the left hand collumn and one on the right side, could I change it?

At this time managers can add new ad sections to the right or left, but they cannot delete them, so be very careful about adding new ad sections.

The relevancy of the ads are based on the content of your page and the availability of ads geared towards that content. Some topics will have a lot of relevant ads, others will not. That is just the nature of how google ads work.

Thanks for the info! It would be nice to be able to select from 2-3 kinds of ads. I've notices they change sometimes on my pages or adapt as I build them, which is helpful.

One last question since you are so smart hehe since it adds ads (tricky) automatically is there a certain number of "contents" one must have in order for a new ad to be added? For example on longer pages it automatically has more ads and on smaller ones just two. Or is that totally random too?

When you create a page it will automatically put some ads on there. How many sometimes depends on what kind of page you select from the list of categories. It usually does not ad adds automatically, but sometimes I have noticed they do disappear automatically.

@chriswingate I do too!! I hate off topic ads. Google is usually good at avoiding this but I think they are running out of ads! Maybe it's time Mahalo integrated another ad service?

off-topic ads = little income.

Hi Nick, because you have such an awesome guide note I added one more ad to your left side!

Now don't forget, its the Mahalo Top 7, you need 6 more links in that section :D
