Matt Cutts, you are perhaps the most awful hypocrite on the www.
You wrote this: "So sites that don’t have much content “above-the-fold” can be affected by this change. If you click on a website and the part of the website you see first either doesn’t have a lot of visible content above-the-fold or dedicates a large fraction of the site’s initial screen real estate to ads, that’s not a very good user experience."
You are 100% correct!
Now perhaps you could explain why it's acceptable for Google to go ahead with this "not a very good user experience" approach to above-the-fold ads in their own search result pages, but when small businesses do the same they suffer loss of revenues because of your hypocritcal policies? You are starving small websites of the opportuniy to earn revenue while creaming it off yourself.
Matt, I don't think Google should be judging any site by a set of critea that they are not prepared to judge their own site by.
Slippery slope.
Just done a search for "credit cards" on my notebook, I see one search result just on the fold, everything else is ads, when I write everything, I mean just that - everything else above the fold is ads. Something you just stated is a "bad user experience" and worth a penalty?

Good point d3t0x.
Their logic will be that they are profit seeking public company who's only accountable to the shareholders. Google has proven they don't give a fuck. Must be nice having a monopoly...
EDIT: LOL look at this hypocrisy http://screensnapr.com/v/BVgHPn.png
EDIT2: For those of you who don't know, here is a cool tool to check your website on multiple browser sizes http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/

its fucking unbelievable how much they try and want to control the entire internet. if you dont follow their layout you don't rank so you pretty much have to do what they say.
let me guess the heat map area (where they suggest ads) is above the fold?

This is not the fall of MFAs, it's probably aimed at the people who do 2 blocks of ads above the fold and no content at all. Maybe learn what MFA actually means first...
Yes, let's kill our conversion rates by putting all of our ads and calls to action below the fold! Awesome idea...
That way, they can hit the back button and click on one of Google's Ads. Brilliant!

HA! I just got an email yesterday from Adwords telling me that they'd like for me to put another ad placement on one of my sites.
Suggested placement? (this is complete with a picture of MY site highlighted with where they'd like for me to put it)
Top left corner of the content section of the page. Matt Cutts is full of shit.

I don't see Google "falling" anytime soon, and it is their search engine. They can do as they please.
There is more and more ads on G search results. Ads on the top of listings, on the top of natural results another bunch of google maps sponsored ads and you dont even see 1 natural result. I wish people will start use different search engines with lower volume of ads
everyone needs to shut the fuck up about google.
we all want to spam google and get #1 ranking because thats EASY. but Google is the best company in the world, which means they have to provide impeccable customer service and value.
Google wants to show users good fucking content. Not some shitfuck 250x300 ad blocks as soon as the page is opened.
Stop bitching and work toward something that google will like, and provide value.
If you have dozens of spammy shit sites than it's your own fault if this is going to make a difference to u

But still my adsense income is same. We only need to worry about this when we see any decrease in our adsense income, otherwise just tell google to fuck itself.
