catbreadbat Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think it'd be great if there was a way to specify whether an ad should be displayed on a mobile device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 This is already available via the responsive CSS in HTML input or via uploading images you can specify a large/medium/small . This is a very commonly asked question so I'll look into writing up some documentation on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is advertisement 1 only shows on desktop, advertisement 2 only shows on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The infrastructure to implement them in say a mobile screen-size is on our end and available. To implement an advertisement in just mobile you would have to encase it in the "show only on mobile" CSS class. Say I want to show only an advertisement on Tablet and Mobile screen-sizes: <div class="ipsResponsive_hideDesktop"> <!-- insert advertisement code here --> </div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for misunderstanding you. Thanks for that! Implementing this right now lol. Is there a "_hideMobile" type class then? So if I want to set ads 123 on desktop only, and ad 4 on mobile only, some aren't seen in both areas. Would love to see that documentation then! This is very intriguing. EDIT: confirmed using the below code, hides desktop ads, from displaying on mobile: <div class="ipsResponsive_hideMobile"> <!-- insert advertisement code here --> </div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you mix the two? Google ad links and I also think that Google Search are not responisve. Where can I paste code under the header and above the footer in the actual template, please?

Google Adsense actually does have responsive ads. You simply have to select that as an ad unit in Adsense. If you wish to serve non responsive ads you would not need the css code mentioned above but would simply insert the code. Otherwise you might want to put it in the _hidePhone div tag if I misunderstood your question. The ad panel has selections for where you want to include the code with both header and footer as an option as well as custom locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The code I provided will enable you to show advertisements to different screens thus allowing you to make non-responsive ads not break your responsive layout. If you have a responsive ad, there's no need to do anything like what I showed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Rosenzweig Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Loading but hiding ads can get you in trouble with Google Ad Sense since you are getting impressions for ads not displayed. The native Google code is a JS solution, not a CSS solution and only loads the ads for the device being used (in theory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day_ Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You can hide Adsense if you're using their responsive ads Hiding an ad unit In certain cases, particularly on smaller mobile devices, you might not want to show an ad at all. If you do want to hide an ad unit, then you can set a parameter with CSS media queries so that no ad request is made and no ad is shown. The following example shows you how to make these modifications: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/6307124#hide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace ipsResponsive_hidePhone with ipsResponsive_showDesktop if you want the main ad to appear on desktop only, or replace ipsResponsive_hideDesktop with ipsResponsive_showPhone to show the mobile ad on phones only and hide on tablets and desktop.

Not true, responsive ads the code simply displays ads to fit your screen size. No reason why they would perform bad at all.

Are your ad impressions still the same, ads in the same locations? hello, does your responsive ad show ever a big billboard ? the 970x250 ? unfortunately the one placement i am using a responsive ad eventhough if you open from a big screeen doesnt show larger than 728x90. i need to ask you all something, can you be more specific in what you mean "performs bad" in numbers? otherwise its just air talk! please mention your rpms, or viewability rates. both matter so much! please elaborate so that we can compare.! my stats are not good yet because the migration just finished and had some problems with the robot.txt.... so they dont count yet . about the mobile ads, My oppinion is that whoever wants to make money out of advertising should invest his time to learn dfp small business. its an adserver, its free, and if you learn it good you can make wonders. invest in someone teaching it to you,(moneywise, timewise). by using it you can use so many targeting parameters (geo, different content, device etc. ).
