To create an In-article ad unit, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your AdSense account.
- Click Ads.
- Click Ad units.
- Click In-article ads.
- Give your In-article ad unit a name.
We recommend you prefix the names of your In-article ad units with "Native" or something similar to help you track their performance.
- Style your ad to match your content. For more information, see In-article ad settings.
- Test how your ad will appear on different screen sizes by changing the container width in the preview area. Use the drag handle to change the width.
Note that In-article ads are responsive by default.
- Click Save and get code.
- Copy and paste the In-article ad code on your site inside the HTML of your page.
We suggest that your place the code two paragraphs below the start of the article.
You can switch on this format in Auto ads. Auto ads use machine learning to make smart placement and monetization decisions on your behalf, saving you time.
In-article responsive ad size
In-article ads are responsive ads which means they automatically adjust their size for the device they're being viewed on. On mobile devices in portrait mode In-article ads expand to use the full-width of the user's screen. On desktop and other mobile configurations the width of an In-article ad is always equal to the width of the parent container (<div>
, <iframe>
, etc.) it's inside. (Note that the minimum width for an In-article ad is 250px.) The height of an In-article ad is automatically adjusted by AdSense.
