    It’s important to note that while picking the number of ads, you should think about the short posts on your blog. If you decide to place more than 5-6 ad units, and you are placing them site-wide using a plugin, you might be spamming your own short posts with a large number of ads.

    Ad Dilution- Facts and Myths

    AdSense is a contextual ad network. To show targeted ads, there must be enough context for the system to analyze the scope of the content, target keywords, and pull the appropriate ad creatives.

    However, if your content length is less, and if it caters to a broad niche, AdSense may not be able to contextually target the ads properly and may result in show ads with low CPC bids. If you’re running 4 to 5 ad units, the 4 and 5 ad units might have a low CPC value. As the ad density increases, the overall CTR of individual ads reduces, and thus this might also affect the CTR of the highest CPC ad. The overall result might be a stagnation in AdSense revenue even if you’ve increased the number of ad units to 4/5.
