That would be a bad idea. You make your living by selling those things, you share your numbers with us and then, you would remove some ads because of a jealous programmer. Please don't do it and feel free to sell your stuff as much as you want. I was almost angry when I saw the <AUTOPROMOTION> tag in your post. Why writing it? You have to autopromote your products if you want to sell them. This <AUTOPROMOTION> tag makes me feel like you're not serious about your book.

  Thanks for this comment. <Autopromotion> tag is just to give my readers little smile. But I am very serious about the eBook. It is really helping to increase others revenue and give my income some boost too. You may check it by reading comments by happy buyers. So no without tag I am really recommending it to anyone who want some boost in downloads of their Android apps based on my experience ;)

  Thank you for the "jealous programmer"... I had a feeling that on hacker news this kind of personal attack wasn't welcome, but hey. By the way, I was talking about the google ads.

    Really sorry for that. I can't edit my comment anymore but it am aware that is a mistake.

      Ok, no problem. It's just that I wasn't used to it here :)

I would remove the adsense ads entirely. They just dilute your book ad which I'm sure is much more profitable for you. It's worth testing, but my guess is that you would increase your overall revenues by eliminating them.

I don't mind the ads so much, it's more the placement... Both in-line adsense blocks are in confusing places. "Here are a few quotes from one of my favourite eMails:" followed by an adsense block. It took me a second to parse that quotes you were referring to weren't "Make 85% profit in 15 Min" and "Real Work at Home Income" Same thing for the second block. It falls in a very awkward place.

  At the same time this ad didn't pass you by and go unnoticed it fulfilled its purpose. Which is the entire purpose of the ad to you know get you to look at it and garner your attention. If the ad were off to the side would it be as effective? @ OP I am sure you could play with this and find which is more effective thus increasing or maintaining your bottom line.

    I'm not so sure ... I know I skimmed over two sections that I recognized as ads but now, only 90 seconds later, can't tell you what even one of the ads was for. All I know is that they weren't content.

      And yet you are taking the time to write about it twice.

        Point made. It also seems to be the common topic discussion on this thread though.

Don't feel pressured to, but I think you would make your page much more pleasing to the eye if you placed your ads on the side rather than embedded into your posts. They will still give you some advertising exposure for AdSense, but they won't get in the way of people trying to read your blog post, and your product promotions in your post won't get lost in the noise. Just a suggestion, you're kicking ass and taking names either way!

  Just a thought why would you remove something that works for something that hasn't yet been proven?

Thanks for suggestion. I will consider removing some ads.
