I was reading:
www.bloggingspell.com/google-page-layout-algorithm/
and I find that the photos on the mobile version of my site seem to violate rule #2 and maybe rule #3 and #4 , and definitely #5.

Going on with suggestion #5, they article recommends that I should have the photo below the fold, but the problem is that thousands of guests will be looking for that photo by scrolling down which is the reason why they arrived to the page in the first place. Currently I have the photo taking up nearly the entire above-the-fold space, and I'm making [CO] RPM from adsense on that page.

How can I then make money on such pages without causing inconvenience to the guests? and scrolling will count as an inconvenience and many guests will not care to read text.

This is a sample page of what I refer to:
pictures.m.clubcatcher.com/ohso-nightclub/2012jun16/2
Also, placing text at the side will look rather funny and probably cause an inconvenience because people want to see the photos at the largest size possible.

But then is text beside the pictute the only way to pull this off?

The main ideas of the cited article are:


place no more then 3 ads above the fold
place textual content above the fold
don't place anything (like heavy weight images) above the fold, what could slow the page loading


What would i do?


place well optimized thumbnail of the image above the fold
locate the big image (good quality, big resolution == big weight) at external CDN
load the big image only after user action, like onClick
include in the head <link rel="prefetch"> to the big image located on external CDN
