How To Create Flexible Adsense Ads For Responsive Websites & Blogs !

We all know Google Adsense is best Advertisement network with having a lot of Ads format. We are free to choose any type of Adsense Ads that fits our website’s theme. We can choose Larger Ads size like 728 x 90, 160 x 600 or medium Ad formats like 336 x 280, 300 x 250 or smaller Ads units.

This Google Advertisement Network also lets you to choose among Image & Flash Ads, Image Ads or simple Text Ads. So you are having full freedom to choose your ads and in this large varieties of different types of Ads size, you will find your suitable Ad Unit whether it is about size of type.

But, The main problem comes with responsive websites. If you don’t know what is responsive website, let me tell, these are those websites or blogs which are having flexible theme.

It means whether you open the website from Desktop, Tablet or from any of your smartphone, the website’s theme is designed very wisely to fit perfectly on your browser’s screen. As these websites automatically manages their elements, images & content to fit on browser’s website so these are the best.

You don’t need to have a separate sub-domain or theme to run your Mobile version websites.  This website, TechGYD is having responsive theme. Change your browser’s size and see how wisely my theme manages its content to fit on that size.

BLOGGING : Boost Adsense Ads CTR by using Section Targeting

But, Adsense ads are not flexible so they can’t change their size according to visitors’ browser. Lets say, you put an 728 x 90 Adsense Ad at the header. If you browse your website from Mobile, you will see the the theme is still responsive, managing its elements according to the screen size but that 728 x 90 Adsense ad is as is it.

Means, that Ad is going outside you webpage, making it look ugly. Responsive website face this type problem normally with there 728 x 90, 160 x 600, 300 x 600, 336 x 280 Adsense Ad sizes . It makes user to identify that these are ads so they will try to avoid clicking on ads. So you will not get expected CTR.

The best way is to use Flexible Ads. I know, Google Adsense don’t provide flexible or responsive ads. So, here is a simple code modification by which you can make your Adsense Ad Responsive without violating Adsense’s policy.

Use this code :

<script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[<br />
    google_ad_client = "adsense-publisher-id";<br />
    if (window.innerWidth >= 800) {<br />
        google_ad_slot = "google-ad-slot";<br />
        google_ad_width = 728;<br />
        google_ad_height = 90;<br />
    } else if (window.innerWidth < 400) {<br />
        google_ad_slot = "google-ad-slot";<br />
        google_ad_width = 300;<br />
        google_ad_height = 250;<br />
    } else {<br />
        google_ad_slot = "google-ad-slot";<br />
        google_ad_width = 468;<br />
        google_ad_height = 60;<br />
    }<br />
// ]]></script><br />
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”>// <![CDATA[</p>
<p>// ]]></script>

Replace adsense-publisher-id with your original publisher ID, something like pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and google-ad-slot with your Adsense Ad unit’s slot number for corresponding Ad sizes. You Done 

Explanation of Code

The code is using simple if/else condition statement which checks if the condition (which is set as per user’s browser screen size using window.innerWidth) satisfied, the Adsense code available for that statement will be served.

You can check its functioning instantly after implementing code. However, you might need to refresh your browser’s window after changing your screen’s size

Ultimately, focusing on the user and providing quality content along will insulate publishers from the worse – but how to optimize the revenue while preserving or improving usability – there’s the challenge. Most independent publishers know that generating quality, relevant content is important, but fail to realize site layout (Ad placements, menu types and locations, text color and font, positions of search boxes and social icons etc.) has a massive impact on both advertising revenue and usability.

 What is Ezoic?

Ezoic is the only service in the world that offers independent publishers an automatic multivariate testing platform that tests hundreds of elements on your site in different layouts, measuring how your visitors respond to the various layouts and using that data to promote the better performing layouts.

Ezoic is also the only certified Google AdSense Partner that has its HQ in North America.  Ezoic promises to increase your website revenues by a huge percent with their services, and their loyal customer base of over 1000 sites and 25 million plus users per month are the living testimony to the system’s success.

Experienced publishers know that making a change to an ad position or menu structure can result in negative as well as beneficial impacts.  So many are nervous to upset the status quoand test their sites.  But an automatic testing system detects negative inputs almost immediately and stops serving the damaging element, replacing it with one known to be beneficial on another site and tests that instead – so there is an element of artificial intelligence and machine self-learning that is simply not possible in manual testing.

What Ezoic does for your publishing needs?

Ezoic automatically executes all of the seemingly daunting tasks of ad placement and ad layout testing for optimizing your website for maximum revenues. It generates the layouts, sets the experiments, monitors results and implements necessary changes.

Ad layout testing

Ezoic automatically tests new layouts and chooses the best one which maximizes your revenue earning potential. This means tweaking a host of settings including your menu color, fonts and hundreds of other such things automatically to what generates the best results, depending on the optimization goals set by the publisher (User focus, revenue focus or something in between!)

You can also manually choose from hundreds of built-in layouts with a single click or simply let the platform do its job and test them all – automatically promoting the ones that best meet your aims – on all devices: desktop, mobile and tablet.

Ezoic provides you with complete reports of the ads are performing, and concentrates on the user experience factors such as page views, bounce rate and time spent during each visit.  There are also plenty of tools in the user interface to allow the publisher to influence the testing process and look of their site, including blocking ad categories, vetoing ad type, placement and numbers – so although it is an automatic system, the publisher has full control over the testing regime and bias.

Ad position testing

Ezoic claims that their users get anything between 50-200% increases in their revenues by their ad position testing service. This offers options to determine which ad categories may be shown at the click of a button, so you can choose to turn off the ones that aren’t making a big difference, or those that are not consistent with the content or audience of your site.

Ad positioning is an important factor in deciding your advertisement earnings, but to maximize usability they shouldn’t be too intrusive – however, to generate income, they must avoid encouraging ‘ad blindness, so there is a careful balance to be struck. Ezoic automatically tests the different ad positions, sizes, types, colors, fonts and density for maximum revenue without negatively affecting your user experience or user metrics.

Multiple device testing

Ezoic not only concentrates on maximizing your revenue from desktop based visitors, but visitors coming from devices of all shapes and sizes! Ezoic generates, automatically and with no effort required by the publisher, modern touch and swipe enabled mobile and tablet versions of your site that work brilliantly on every screen size, device and browser.  Many publishers find monetizing their sites on mobile devices very tricky, so having Ezoic in your corner lifts this burden entirely.
