To create a new display ad unit that you can manage within your account, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your AdSense account.
- Click Ads.
- Click By ad unit.
- Click Display ads.
- Give your ad unit a name. We suggest using a unique, descriptive name to help you find your ad unit later.
- In the "Ad size" section, choose the size of the ads that you’d like to show:
- We recommend you leave Responsive selected. Responsive ads automatically adapt their size to fit your page layout and your users' devices. Learn more about the responsive behavior of display ad units.
- If you prefer to specify the size of the ads that appear on your page, select Fixed and enter the required width and height. Note that fixed-sized ad units may have a limited pool of ads available, which might result in lower earnings than using responsive. For more information, see our guidelines for fixed-sized display ad units.
Tip: See examples of the most common fixed ad sizes.
- Click Save and get code.
- Copy and paste the ad unit code in between the
<body><body/>tags of your pages where you want ads to appear. If you're not sure how to do this, you might want to review our code implementation guide. - Click Done.
It usually takes a few minutes for ads to appear on the page but occasionally it can take up to an hour. If ads still aren't showing after an hour, check your site has a status of "ready" on your Sites page.
Tracking the performance of display ad units
