No More Right Sidebar in Google Adwords + 4 Ads Above Fold.

[Sean Dolan]

Just a heads-up for those managing your own Adwords account, or those who have agencies managing their Adwords, Google is rolling out a new update that removes the right sidebar ads from the Google results page, and includes up to 4, instead of 3 ads above the fold. 

Also important in SEO news to realize that for many results, there may be zero organic rankings above the fold. My agency just popped to #1 for ppc management last week organically, and this week Google put another Adwords ad above us. So, as I've said before on this form, if you're starting out, figure out your Adwords/Advertising strategy before you embark on your SEO strategy. It's just more reliable.

Here's what it looks like to rank #1 on Google organically. Not much meat on that organic bone. Notice the right side ads are gone, and there are 4 ads above organic.
