Google AdSense announced that those with AMP sites that have Auto ads with Google AdSense will now support anchor ads. From April 11, 2022, if you're using Auto ads for AMP, anchor ads will start to appear on your sites.
Google said this may result in an "increase in your AMP revenue." Google also noted that this change will apply to all sites that have Auto ads for AMP enabled in your AdSense account.
Auto ads for AMP automatically place AdSense Auto ads on your AMP pages. After you've added the AMP auto script and ad code, Google will automatically show ads on your AMP pages at optimal times when they're likely to perform well and provide a good experience, the company said.
Here is how to set up Auto ads for AMP:
- Sign in to your AdSense account.
- Click Ads
Overview.
- Click Got an AMP site?
- On the "Auto ads for AMP" page, turn on Auto ads for AMP.
- (Optional) In the "Ad formats" section, turn off any ad formats that you'd prefer not to show on your AMP site. Learn more about ad format settings.
- Click Get AMP code.
- Copy and paste the script between the
<head></head>tags of your page.This script loads the required
