Types of Sticky Ads

Sticky ads are broadly divided into two categories. Eg. Horizontal & vertical. 

Horizontal ads are generally placed at the header and footer of a website & these are generally spread from one end to other ends in a landscape manner. 

Anchor ads that we get in the “auto ads” section of AdSense is an example of Horizontal sticky ad. 

Vertical sticky ads are generally placed in the sidebar of a website and some cases outside of the sidebar. These are designed in such a way that they will stick in the sidebar even though the user scrolls down the page.

How to display the sticky ads only on Mobile devices?

Sticky ads are a great way to improve AdSense revenue but, adding them to desktop devices sometimes hurts the user experience. 

That’s why you can set a condition in the above code so that it only shows on mobile devices and skip this on desktop devices. 

So, all you need to do is add a If condition, just above and below the given HTML code.   

<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobileRequest == "true"'>

HTML To Show Only in Mobile Devices

</b:if>

if you want to display the ads only on a desktop then you have to modify the If condition a little bit. Just change the value “true” to “false”.

Sticky Left & Right Ad Code For Blogger

If you want to display sticky ads on both the left and right sides of your theme then you can download the below code and insert the display ad code. Now paste the whole code to the sidebar of your theme. 

Guidelines to add sticky ads to a website

1. Must cover less than 30% of the screen at any time.
2. One vertical sticky per viewport
3. One horizontal sticky per page
4. No cursor-associated movements (sticky ad must remain immobile)
5. Plenty of whitespace/ boundary between the ad and the content, so it’s distinguishable from the content.

According to Google sticky ads shouldn’t be implemented on Gaming sites and pages with infinite scroll to provide a better user experience.

Horizontal top & bottom sticky ads work well in mobile devices and vertical sticky ads work well with the desktop.  But don’t use anchor ads and bottom sticky ads at the same time as it may create a bad user experience for your readers.
