All of this represents the conclusion of a test that began all the way back in 2010, and has been tweaked over the years since then. Search Engine Land readers — particularly some outside the U.S. — notified us late last year that they were seeing the top-only ads more frequently.
Data-driven design. I love stuff like this.

My favourite time waster this week.
People are abuzz because it looks like the W3Techs survey of the web now has WordPress at 25% market share. … The big opportunity is still the 57% of websites that don’t use any identifiable CMS yet, and that’s where I think there is still a ton of growth for us (and I’m also rooting for all the other open source CMSes).
Popular products always have their share of dissenters, but I am proud to be an (extremely small) part of this particular one.
As mentioned in the merge proposal, the API comes in two parts: infrastructure and endpoints. In 4.4, the infrastructure is now available as part of core, while the endpoints continue to only be available in the plugin.
You can think of the infrastructure as an “API construction kit”. WordPress 4.4 will make it possible for everyone to build RESTful APIs in a much easier fashion, which will benefit people building custom APIs for their site. The infrastructure handles the routing, argument handling, JSON serialisation/deserialisation, status codes, and all that other lovely REST stuff.
This is a big deal.
Following my previous post, I started wondering if there is a WP plugin for Google AMP. Of course there is. (via ma.tt)
