Creating ad layouts for AdSense units

An ad layout is a mapping between a Google AdSense ad unit and the area on your asset where the ad appears. For example, you have an AdSense ad unit that pulls ads of dimensions 200 × 350. To ensure these ads are rendered correctly, you need an ad layout that reserves an area of 200 × 350 in the assets receiving those ads.

To create an ad layout:

1. From your Google console, obtain the ad unit's code. For details, see Get and copy the AdSense code.
2. Click menu > Admin > Ads.
3. In the Create widget, select Google AdSense Ad, and then click New.
   

   

4. In the Name field, enter an internal name. Brightspot uses this name in selection fields.
5. In the Slot field, enter the code you obtained in step 1.
6. In the Ad Size field, click add_circle_outline and select the ad size corresponding to the size of the ads. If the available ad sizes are not appropriate, create a new one by doing the following:
   
   1. From the Ad Size list, select Create New.
   2. In the Width and Height fields, enter values corresponding to the size of the incoming ads.
      

      

   3. Click Save.
   4. Click Back.
   5. In the Ad Size field, select the ad size you just created.
7. Click Save.

After you create the ad layout, you can include it in your assets. For details, see Injecting ads into assets.
