Choose the right ad units for your pages.
As a general rule of thumb, wider ad units perform better because they:
- Are easier for users to read and interact with
- Allow more ads to be displayed within a unit
- Are preferred by advertisers designing image or video ads
Improve your AdSense implementation by increasing ad coverage on your site.
- Put ads on pages that don’t currently have any, as this increases the chances of monetizing your site’s traffic. This is especially true for the high traffic areas of your site.
- Our data shows that placing ads within the page content or article text, or near the navigational areas of your site, can strongly increase ad performance, since it gives your users relevant ads alongside the great content that they’re used to.
- Use link units to monetize the smaller areas on your site.
- Above all: the most effective change you can make is to put at least one ad unit above the fold -- the section of the page users see without scrolling down.
We look forward to seeing your implementations!
