About the AdSense code

"The AdSense code" is the name of the HTML snippet you put on your site to get Auto ads and a range of other AdSense features. If you've been using AdSense for a while, you might know this code by its old name: "Auto ad code". To get the most out of AdSense, place the AdSense code on every page across your site.

Code example

Here's an example of the Auto ad code:

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Note: If you copy this example code, make sure you replace "YOUR_PUBLISHER_ID" with your own publisher ID.

Limitations of Auto ads and ad unit code

You can use the AdSense code to get Auto ads, but Auto ads now works through any AdSense ad unit code.

Note: This behavior may not work correctly for ad unit code that is used dynamically, through an ad server, or used via a host partner website.
