      Google released an update today that will rank pages with plenty of content above the fold higher than those that don’t.
      If you have a lot of ads above the fold then don’t expect to rank.
      I see many CMS sites with very large banners across the top and content pushed down low on the page, will these pages also be hurt by the update?
      The update is crawling now, you might want to check your SERP’s and see if there is much movement going on.

        Good question Alan.   I believe we will see that it will as Google is looking at how far down content renders, not just where it is in the code.

        Let us know if you see any significant change. I will do the same
