DESCRIPTION
When I analyzed travel.rakuten.co.jp, my first impression was that there were a lot of ads. I could see a full sidebar of small banner ads. Given their smaller size, I didn’t mind the user experience. They were also fast to load and far off to the side from the content. However, they weren’t the only ads on the page. I noticed the whole site layout was mostly below the fold because of what the ads above the fold were doing. I don’t recommend ads pushing the content toward nearly being below the fold. No machine will penalize you for it, but you have to look at it from a user experience point of view. If users aren’t enjoying your content, search engines will eventually notice that in the thousands of signals they analyze. I thought the content was pushed too far below the fold. What I mean by that is I think I would much prefer using this website if the content was higher up on the page. If I feel that differently about it, chances are search engines are noticing the issue. 12/15/2024
