So, if your business is somewhere related to this trend, it is very important you catch the current trend for your business, blog or website.

Google Adsense Responsive Ads goes blank, How to fix?

Adsense goes blank? here is the CSS trick to fix that

No need to worry here is the solution for responsive ads goes blank on display! you have to do the little bit of CSS as follow.

[css]

<style>
.adslot_responsive { width: 600px; height: 250px; }
@media(min-width: 240px) { .adslot_responsive { width:100%;height:90px; } }
@media(min-width: 320px) { .adslot_responsive { width:100%;height:90px; } }
@media(max-width: 766px) { .adslot_responsive { width:100%;height:250px; } }
@media(min-width: 767px) { .adslot_responsive { width:100%;height:250px; } }
</style>
[/css]

[code lang=”js”]
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!– GOOGLE ADSEMSE-RESPONSIVE-ADS –>
<ins class="adsbygoogle adslot_responsive "
style="display:inline-block"
data-ad-client="REPLACE-THIS-WITH-YOUR-PUB-ID"
data-ad-slot="YOUR-DATA-SLOT-NO"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
[/code]

I have CSS start with <style> with 4 @media size and one default size. Each CSS class (.adslot_responsive have width and height) are connecting with google <ins class>

The code above is designed for the content page (somewhere first or second paragraph) with 600 pixels width and 250 pixels by default desktop size. I am doing something alternative than others normally do. I have assigned the (.adslot_responsive { width: 600px; height: 250px; }) for default ads units. I am aware of my CSS container and users statistics. So I better would like to make ads size cover as the width of the responsive content. So, I assigned the 100% on width. For the height, I have given the specific value. If you have fixed size of design @media CSS container you can specify the size as well.

Navigation is very important for small devices. It is also very important your above-the-fold responsive ads should not bother your users while reading (should NOT force to click or do NOT place ad size that leads users to click) the content and should be easy for the user to navigate. Google favored 320px X 100px size banner for the overall smartphones and 320px will cover almost all the smartphones width. Having said that you can use any of other sizes below or equal to 250 based on your website or blog design.
