AdSense for video (AFV)

AdSense for video best practices and optimisation tips

The best way to optimise your AdSense earnings is to keep your account in good standing. To do that, you should ensure that your implementation complies with the general AdSense program policies, as well as the product specific policies. However, there are some simple best practices that we suggest that you follow to maximise your account earnings, specifically:

  • Use accurate metadata

    The 'description_url' parameter of the ad request acts like additional crawlable HTML for contextual ad selection. The content that you provide through this parameter may have an impact on how wide the selection of ads competing in the auction is. You should include full sentences of description of the game and your service.

    A good description URL would look something like the following:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Game Attack | ExampleGamesPublisher.com</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Game Attack</h1>

  • Use all ad formats

    The IMA HTML5 SDK allows you to request different types of ads. For a complete overview of the available formats please visit the AdSense for video product introductory pages. To maximise your overall revenue, we recommend that you utilise all different ad formats including Standard Instream video ads, Skippable video ads, fullslot and overlay ads.

  • Set up channels to enhance reporting

    Channels enable you to view detailed reporting about the performance of specific pages and ad units. By assigning a channel to a combination of pages or ad units, you could track the performance of a leaderboard versus a banner, or compare your motorcycle pages to your automobile pages. Please visit our help centre for more information about channels.
