Since smartphone usage is increasing, a considerable percentage of the traffic visiting your site are probably coming from mobile search. Therefore, a mobile-first environment helps in getting a larger audience, thus boosting ad revenue. Publishers should routinely monitor their site\u2019s ad experience and update it as per requirement.<br\/>These optimizations are more likely to be done on the technical front. Make sure that:<br\/>Your ads are responsive on different screens<br\/>The ad sizes adjust to screen sizes<br\/>The loading speed for your site is within 0-3 secs.<br\/>You can place the ad size 320*100 (above the fold), 300*250 (below the fold) as these are the best performing ad unit sizes as per <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adsense\/answer\/6357180?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=6051812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google<\/a>.\u00a0<br\/>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/responsive-display-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">responsive ad units<\/a> for mobile especially<br\/><strong>Note**<\/strong>: <em>For better user experience, you can even create a separate mobile site that is different from your desktop version.

General category blocking is available for ads in a limited set of languages, regardless of the language of your site.<br\/><strong>Sensitive ad categories<\/strong> can help block ads belonging to drugs, supplement, religion, casino, etc.<br\/>And with <strong>ad-serving settings<\/strong>, it is possible to control ad format and auction behaviors in AdSense, such as blocking user-based ads, or allowing additional ad technology vendors in your account.<br\/><strong>Auto Ads:<\/strong><br\/>Auto ads experiments let you test webpages with auto ads on and off. Based on this test, you can identify what auto ads placements are working better or worse than the ad units you placed on the web pages.<br\/><br\/>Remove ad space that you believe may annoy a user. In the screenshot below, I have removed 5 ad spaces which I thought weren\u2019t working well for users.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>These experiments helped me <strong>increase the ad units\u2019 RPM by 41%<\/strong>. Our work is just to run the experiment, after that AdSense automatically chooses a winner at the end of the experiment (usually takes 60-90 days).<br\/>However, you can stop an experiment in between and choose a winner. Once a winner is declared, AdSense automatically assigns the changes to that particular ad and winning type immediately begins displaying on your site.\u00a0"}],"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-monetization-improve-strategy\/#schema-image-db20a531e5ab450bf9cc7b2469fa19e2","url":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Area-remove-in-experiment.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Area-remove-in-experiment.png","width":315,"height":322,"caption":"Area remove in experiment"}},{"@type":"HowToStep","url":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-monetization-improve-strategy\/#how-to-step-1666269542275","name":"Try AdSense for Search","itemListElement":[{"@type":"HowToDirection","text":"For positive user experience, every website has a search bar on each web page.
