Hello,
I’m wondering why the adsense ad in the header is not responsive?
I took the responsive ad code and pasted it into the ad section under them panel.
The DISABLE ON DESKTOP and other devices is deactivated.
AdSense size is on auto.
So where is the problem?
Thank you in advance,
Mr. Arias
If you use the responsive ad code from Google for your AdSense ads they will be responsive. Meaning, a different size ad will be loaded depending on viewport. Ads do *not* resize on the fly; meaning, if you shrink the browser viewport, the ad does not reload to new size as Google doesn’t allow ad “reloads.”
Aaahh! Now I see.
Thanks.
Google has only been doing “responsive” ads for a very short time (2014), so they are still figuring out how to make them work better on different layouts. One would presume a text box could resize, but since they never know the “layout” they cannot safely set 100% widths to some spaces, hence why you often still need to set a “hint size area” …
I think they are only responsive in the sense that they are not fixed sized graphics, but they are not responsive in the same way that one expects.
I went through that earlier this year, and went oooooohhhhh….. okay. Makes sense once you get the limitations of their ability to guess the layout space 🙂
