Hi,

As of now, Google didn't say anything about having too many ads on a webpage will affect your SEO.  However, based on the new search update in 2012, if you have a lot of ads at the top of your page and it takes a while to scroll down to your content, then that will definitely affect your SEO and domain authority.

In the future, having a lot of ads "Might" affect your domain authority and SEO.  Just to be safe from future updates, I suggest having a balance between content and ads on your website.

If you have two sentences surrounded by six or seven ads then that is a stinky page that will not be respected by visitors.  This could indirectly result in lower rankings as they do not stay on the page, like it, link to it, tweet about it, or visit other pages on your website.

Thanks,

While agree with your thinking, I was more specifically thinking about how in tune it would be with Google's Quality Guidelines. We publish information for Doctors, its very clinical.  We never get much in the way of likes or shares with this community. In fact we are struggling with time on site as well, since all of our websites support print product where doctors seem (gulp) to have a preference.

Thanks for your consideration and I agree with your assessment as well.
