| Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 9/30/12 6:38 AM | Hi All, As responsive design is getting more popular and the differences in devices and screen resolution is almost uncountable there is also need for Adsense to become more flexible in it's use. I this topic I want to start a discussion about the p |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Gracey | 9/30/12 7:29 AM | Note that you can only use mobile ad siizes on a mobile site, you can put the code in a normal website. That isn't allowed. |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 9/30/12 7:57 AM | Hi Gracey, thanks for your reply. |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | galeksic | 9/30/12 10:24 AM | You asked for opinions. I think if that javascript code is run only once, we have only one violation of the policies, at the page load. |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Gracey | 9/30/12 11:03 AM | Mobile ad units are for mobile websites. Not for ordinary websites that are web based. So if you need to use an ad that is 320 pixels or less on a website designed for web or high-end phones & tablets, you could use any of the other standard smaller |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 9/30/12 12:55 PM | Thanks Gracey and Galaksic, You really cleared some things out to me. I understand it's a grey area. And indeed as you mention (Gracey), we (as TC and volunteers) can't advice to do anything in a grey area to publishers like it's allowed. That's why |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Gracey | 10/1/12 7:24 AM | None of us here actually write the help center files (there are definitely times when I wish we could) so I agree there needs to be more clarity on where certain things can be used - or should be used. Can you use a 320 X 50 mobile banner on a regula |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 10/1/12 10:52 AM | Hi Gracey, For the Mobile Banner (320x50) it is obvious that this banner is specific designed for mobile use. I think (new) publishers wil understand this too... It would be crazy to put the mobile banner on a desktop-size layout. But thinking from |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Gracey | 10/1/12 2:00 PM | LOL! You aren't the only one. The recent changes to mobile confuse me to the point where I generally refuse to even consider any of them. At a conference with them there was a discussion on mobile advancement as it related to Adsense and there was a |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 10/1/12 3:28 PM | Indeed, like mobile is an alien (or an android) ;-) Responsive ad-blocks would be possible for text-ads. But for display ads it's a little more difficult. The images, flash and everything should be scalable, that's not a huge problem. But if you sca |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Gracey | 10/1/12 4:28 PM | It looks like this might be the perfect opportunity to ask your questions directly to AdSense: http://adsense.blogspot.ca/2012/10/join-our-upcoming-mobile-q-sessions-on.html |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 10/2/12 2:34 AM | Great, thanks! I'll try to join it, I have an appointment, but maybe I can change it a little bit.It seems to be popular, 55 joined already. |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 10/2/12 11:05 AM | Today I joined the hangout. Adsense detects the device and can adapt the ads within the ad-block to it. But the dimensions of the ad-block itself won't change. So the conclusion is still the same:If you want a true responsive design, use one ad-block |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | djdaniel150 | 10/31/12 11:07 AM | I asked the same question a billion times, and no response. Google doesn't even read this forum at all! Every answer on here is "I don't know", and "I don't know", oh, yeah, and don't forget, "I'm not sure." Helps alot don't it. Google claims they ha |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | djdaniel150 | 10/31/12 11:13 AM | Responsive design has nothing to do with the size of an element, it has to do with an element being able to adapt to a changing environment. In this case I am referring to the size of an LCD screen, a resolution, or a browser type. A fixed value is n |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Gracey | 10/31/12 12:45 PM | Policies are pretty clear about not farting around with the normal behaviour of the ad units. Their normal behaviour is to display, not to be hidden. But as also noted above, a publisher did receive explicit instructions from adsense and not displayi |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 10/31/12 3:00 PM | I think in the end, this discussion clears out a lot of things. As long as ads have a fixed with and height, true responsive design isn't possible. Using different templates for different devices is the best option (for Adsense). Maybe this developer |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | djdaniel150 | 11/9/12 3:52 PM | I use absolute positioning in all my sites elements, and nothing scrolls along with the pages. You have to use "background-attachment: scroll;" in order to scroll anything along a webpage. So this makes no sense. Designing websites with css like this |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 11/10/12 3:28 AM | I would advice to you to experiment some more with html and css. There are multiple ways to achieve perfectly rendered templates in all browsers. Floating elements, absolute elements, fixed elements do all have there advantages. You can also combine |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | galapiat | 11/20/12 2:29 PM | The correct way of doing it is to detect the browser width with JavaScript and conditionally load the matching ads, as described in the article mentioned in one of the first posts. I contacted the AdSense team directly about this (Because I earn more |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Enterpr1se | 11/23/12 8:39 PM | Hi galapiat, Could I know the way to load the matching ads? I found a site : http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-adsense-responsive-design/ I tried and it works, but I am not sure will it violate the policy. And one more question, how to contact |

| Re: Responsive design and policy | Marcus Cyganiak | 12/30/12 1:48 PM | It would be nice if Google actually addressed this AdSense/responsive site debacle. I refuse to design a responsive website for fear of violating Google AdSense TOS. That is something I cannot afford to risk! Sent from my Nexus 10 |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | Enterpr1se | 1/7/13 7:11 PM | I had asked about adsense in responsive design, from Google Adsence weekly hangout, and she said it's ok to use javascript, use suitable size adsense to fit responsive website. The things you can't do is you need to let people know it's google adsens |
| Re: Responsive design and policy | p3sn | 1/8/13 11:21 AM | Yeah, I noticed it several times now they agree with the specific javascript mentioned earlier in this discussion. But Javascript is not really true responsive. I'll wait untill they come up with a responsive text ad some day. |
