Responsive AdSense

[Paul B]

It's up to you but if it's on the same page I would use separate units.

Reusing ad units in different locations is fine though, if you're not too bothered about accurate reporting.

Thanks for the help! Seemed to have solved my responsiveness woes. For now.

Now all my adsense unit are change to asynchronous ad code.

The default generated code from adsense, un modified

I thought I would be cheeky and ask what ad_ templates locations are you using? I just want to get something set up and then tweak it once people start clicking again as I've been avoiding adsense since converting over from vB since it's a bit confusing with responsive designs!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Below top breadcrumb, and above bottom breadcrumb.

After stop using Cloudflare, my revenue was doubled.
Cpc and RPM was also doubled.
Just saying, for those who are using cloudflare right now

Is there any way to prevent adSense to break in responsive when you enter your forum in a landscape mode and then changing to portrait? On my website it breaks the adSense and doesn't serve in in a different size (until a refresh is done).

There's no way you can prevent that.

Just curious, can this be added to the .EXTRA css page instead of having it on top of the adsense ad?

_____
<style type="text/css">
.overtaking-top-dynamic {
width: 320px;
height: 50px;
}

@media(min-width: 484px) {
.overtaking-top-dynamic {
width: 468px;
height: 60px;
}
}
</style>

Just thought it would be more effective if I have all the browser size configuration in one place because there are other styles that I will be changing as well depending on those sizes.

 

[Paul B]

Yes, it doesn't have to be in the ad template.

What if we use adsense and a 3rd party for serving banner ads, how could we implement the responsive for the 3rd party banners if they provide us with iframe code (we can edit this code if needed). We are having issues with our site being responsive because of the banners (leaderboard+regular)

Just add a class to the iframe.

Has anyone figured out if its possible to call just a certain ad for a certain size?

For example I've noticed that in content ads on mobiles are pretty much useless. However above the fold they perform very well. This is the same spot where desktop sized banners pretty much fail nowadays.

Would it be possible to have just a mobile ad above the fold without having that pesky huge leaderboard for desktop users that everybody ignores anyway?

 

[Paul B]

Not sure what you mean.

You can specify any ad unit for any browser width as the example in the main resource body shows.

 

[RobParker]

I think he means only show an add in that position if on mobile. To accomplish that, just use a media query on that part of the code, i.e. only show it if below a certain resolution.

 

[Paul B]

There is no "mobile" flag, just whether the style is responsive or not.
There is no distinction between devices, it's purely based on browser width, whether on a phone, tablet or PC.

Media queries can only manipulate CSS; this related resource may help: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/responsive-design.2193/

 

[Bram]

Thats what I thought.

Shame though as mobile and desktop have completely different optimum ad positions after testing the responsive design for two months now.

Will prepare a mod request then as some wordpress widgets (clickmissle) for example do deliver the option to only show an ad to either mobile, tablet and/or desktop users and works fantastic.

Thanks again for the swift response guys

Has anyone already tried this?

I did. And somehow my traffic dropped after implementing this... I removed this after a day of testing.

The only thing I wish now, is that xenForo makes a new ad group: Ad_Responsive_Below_Content

So that I wouldn't have to compromise risking my google rankings in exchange for targeting mobile devices.

 

[Paul B]

That can be achieved using the responsive flag and the normal ad templates, as explained here: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/responsive-adsense.2084/update?update=5016

Hi there,

I am not good with PHP at all. How do I use this:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/responsive-adsense.2084/

Where do I place the ad code?

Should I get an ad from google first and then try to customize it?
