Has the change in googles ad-word advert position effected your online store sales?

[Neal]

I would like to get some feedback as to if people have found that the new google adwords advert positioning has effected their online sales. The ads used to run along the right side when you did a search on google, now they are only at the top and bottom. I have a online store called Vitalherbs.co.uk selling herbs for health eg Reishi, Cordyceps, Ginseng etc and since the change my sales have gone down and I was wondering if it was just me or have other people noticed a change. Thanks for any help!

Interesting little experiment they're doing, I suspect it will be changed back because it allows a maximum of 6 ads per page (previous model allows up to 8-9 ads per page. I guess the message is to bid hard and get to top 3. Which for some markets is a hard slog.
