Default Google ads in the article?

How do you feel about a rectangle Google ad being placed in an actual article and the text going around it? Like an image but a Google ad instead?

I don't see any reason to. It'll make reading a little harder for regular readers, won't catch the attention of passerbys like a picture would, and doesn't seem any more likely to get clicks than a side ad would.

The only way I see it being really effective is if you don't have room in the sidebar for ads.

I made a thread about this on DP, and the feedback I got was that in-post ads are intrusive, epecially if you have most of your ad units 'above the fold'. For that reason, I removed my in-post ads and I also saw an increase of the average time spent on my site per visitor

Most readers would tell you it's distracting. I don't really care personally. Oddly most writers would tell you it's the money spot

I noticed that too. I think in-post ads work well for blogs with little or no images. The in-post is very valuable to the bigger boys of blogging - like John Cow and Chow.

I just moved my adsense ads off of the front page. They can only be seen in my individual posts. I'm hoping this will give the blog a more 'professional' feel to it. And seeing as my adsense revenue is under $2, I don't know that I will take a huge revenue hit

AdSense changes some terms and now they don't allow "text blending".

I use a different kind of ads in my post not square, but link unit and the bottom of the post.

That's what I would recommend, ads on single pages. It will look more professional.
