Auto ads settings

Auto ads settings let you customize the Auto ads experience on your site. You can use these settings to control which Auto ads appear, how many Auto ads you show, etc.

Auto ads

Setting	Description
Auto ads	Turn this option off if you don't want to show Auto ads on your site.
Optimize your existing ad units?	Turn this option on if you're interested in letting Google optimize your existing ad units and your Auto ads together and place ads in the best performing ad placements.

Note: If you see an Auto ad in an area that doesn't work for your site, you can use the ad settings preview to remove the ad from that area.

Ad formats

Setting		Description
In-page ads		Turn this option off if you don't want to show in-page ads.
Anchor ads		Turn this option off if you don't want to show anchor ads. Anchor ads stick to the edge of the user's screen and are easily dismissible. These ads mainly serve on mobile but can appear on desktop too. They appear at the top of the user's screen unless we determine that this would negatively affect the user experience, in which case we show them at the bottom. When shown at the top, anchor ads only appear after the user has scrolled down far enough, so that they never cover your site's branding or navigation.
Wide screen		Turn this option off if you don't want anchor ads to appear on screens wider than 1000px, like desktop
Side rail ads		Turn this option off if you don't want to show side rail ads. Side rails are ads that stick to the sides of your pages when they're viewed on widescreen devices, such as desktops.
Vignette ads		Turn this option off if you don't want to show vignettes. Vignette ads are full-screen ads that appear between page loads and can be skipped by users at any time. Vignettes are displayed when the user leaves a page, rather than when they arrive on one, so the user doesn’t have to wait for them to load. We limit the number of vignettes per user to maintain a good user experience.
Wide screen		Turn this option off if you don't want vignette ads to appear on screens wider than 1000px, like desktop.
Multiplex ads		Turn this option off if you don't want to show Multiplex ads. Multiplex ads are a type of native ad format that serve multiple ads in a grid.
