Hello,
I would like to know if you have a chart of something that provides ideal ad sizes for each ad section:
I know the header ad is 728×90, but what are the ideal sizes for all the other ad areas. I can’t find examples of each one in the live demo.
Thanks.
Philip
It depends on the view port and the type of ad you’re serving (static vs responsive), and the width of your website (fixed/responsive, 1170, 980).
but typically
sidebar = 300×250 /300×600 (250×250 iPad vertical, or 200×200 for iPad landscape)
header = depends on fixed or responsive layout; 728×90 won’t fit with 300px wide logo on a 980 wide layout; but 300×100 does. Turn off for mobile/phone view.
before/after post = depends; 468×60 is often safe; 300×100 works.
Everybody may find the “official” IAB ad unit sizes to be helpful, found here:

Technically 468×60 is considered OLD, but still supported due to legacy layout dimensions and because Google/Doubleclick not yet TRULY responsive. Their ad units should resize for the div/space they are in with max width, but don’t work that way.
Not sure that helps, but some info to get started 🙂
Got it. Thanks for the help.
Philip
