AdSense Responsive Ads

I had a look at the settings and noticed that ad size is now a multi-select option. I tried searching here but I failed to find information how does this multi-select feature actually work – what ad sizes are shown and when if I choose more than one?

If you choose multiple sizes, the ad units will alternate between them evenly. So you could alternate between banner ads and square ads in the same ad slot, for example.

As for the ad height problems you’re seeing, you can try to add height rules to the ad slots like the first post in this topic shows:

This doesn’t work anymore!

(Optional) Controlling Ad Sizes

You can have full control over the dimensions of the responsive ad units because AdSense looks at the size of the container when choosing the size of ads to show.

Using a custom theme, you can use CSS to set the size of each ad slot. For example, to limit the height of the ads that show above topic lists:

.adsense-topic-list-top.adsense-responsive {
  height: 200px;
}
