The number of advertisements that a publisher should have per page 
depends on a variety of factors, including the goals of your business, the 
website design, and the preferences of the target audience. Those are just a 
few considerations to consider when deciding how many advertisements to 
have per page:
 
Purpose of the page
The first thing to consider when deciding how many advertisements to have 
per page is the purpose of that page. If the page is designed to generate 
revenue through advertising, then it may make sense to have more 
advertisements to maximize the potential for earning revenue. For example, 
if you maintain a niche website about specialty gift shops and some shop 
owners want to display their ads to your audience then you can create 
several ad placements on the list page and enter ads from multiple shops 
into your ad server so ads can rotate. Your viewers will want to see the list 
and description of the gift shops and at the same time, you can feature 
certain shops and get paid for them.
 
On the other hand, if the page is designed to sell products, then it may be 
more effective to have fewer advertisements to avoid overwhelming or 
distracting users. If your viewer is trying to make a purchase and see too 
many distracting ads or get slowed down by heavy ads then they might 
abandon their shopping cart and go to another site or switch to do 
something else instead. That is something you want to avoid at all costs. 
Using an ad serving solution is very useful in this setup because you can 
have different ad placements for different pages and manage them all 
together within one single account.
 
Layout and design of the page
How the page looks can also impact how many advertisements to have per 
page. If the page is already cluttered or difficult to navigate, then having too 
many advertisements will make it even more difficult for users to find the 
information or products that they are looking for. In this case, we suggest 
you spend time to review and optimize the existing layout to make it easier 
to navigate. On the other hand, if the page has a clean, uncluttered design, 
then it may be possible to add more advertisements without overwhelming 
users. However, it is better to start slow and test along the way. You do not 
want to add a bunch of ads overnight and destroy the user experience, 
which is very hard to build and keep.
 
Preferences of your target audience
Finally, it is important to consider the preferences of your audience when 
deciding how many advertisements to have per page. Some users may be 
more receptive to advertisements than others, and by understanding the 
preferences of the target audience, businesses can tailor their advertising 
strategy to better meet the needs and expectations of their users. For 
example, if your website has both a public area and a premium or registered 
area then you can serve more ads to free users and fewer or no ads to 
registered or premium users.
By considering these factors and testing different approaches, businesses 
can determine the optimal number of advertisements to have per page to 
maximize their earnings from ad serving and still deliver the best possible 
user experience.
