Rather, he and his team are penalizing Websites that put what they deem an "excessive" amount of ads up top, or simply make it hard to find content on the page.

Just a heads up for everyone, I've noticed some extremely wild swings the last 3 days on several searches.

Probably the best example is on "Acai Berry". All of the top searches have been getting mixed up but most notably is Oprah who has had a page from her website ranked in the top 10 for years.

3 days ago she suddenly went to page 2 for several hours before bouncing back to page 1. Yesterday she was on page 3 for several hours before bouncing back to page 1. Today she is on page 5.

Dunno if Google is testing something new out or what but I've seen multiple jumps like this on several different searches so it may be something to keep an eye on.

I think it's even more complicated than that. They tell you to put ads above the fold!
I get emails all the time telling me to add more ad units, place them where readers can see them, etc.
