You can NEVER have ads too high on a page, you are trying to make money not get someone off for free or circle jerk them around on trades or pages of your site. When someone visits your site and the first thing they do is click an ad those are your biggest money makers right there (regardless of conversions). Some ads that fit in with your layout will always be more appeasing than some obvious flashy ads that get barely any clicks and annoy people.
Edit: v rocks has a point about getting them to page 2 and lowering bounce rate, but honestly, bounce rate doesn't mean shit if you're trying to make money. You want to get visitors to your target (sponsor tour, or otherwise) as fast and in as least clicks as possible. If everyone visits your site and clicks the ads and your bounce rate is 90%, hallelujah!
