Anchor Ads is one of the two types of Page-level ads that Google Adsense shows on monetized websites.
They appear on the top of the screen when the user has scrolled the page a little. Sometimes Anchor ads also appear on the bottom of the screen if google determines that it will cover the page content affecting the overall user experience. This article is about how we can enable Anchor Ads(Page-level ads) on desktop and mobile. You can also disable the Anchor ads in the same way. You must have Google Auto ads enabled for Anchor ads to work.
Google Adsense provides control to the publishers, if they want to show Anchor ads on their website or not. If you are a publisher and use Google Adsense to monetize your website, then you can also control the appearance of Anchor ads (Page-level) ads on your website.
When enabled on mobile and desktop, Anchor ads can drastically improve your Adsense earnings by showing relevant ads to your viewers. After the appearance, Anchor ads stick to the top or bottom of the mobile or desktop screen even when the user is scrolling through the content. And if the user doesn’t want the anchor ad to stay on their screen, then it can easily be closed by a cross (close) button on the left or right corner of the ad.
Now the question comes, how we can enable Anchor ads for mobile and desktop in our Google Adsense account? So here are the easy steps that will guide you to enable or disable Anchor (Page-level) ads for desktop and mobile devices:
- Sign in to your Google Adsense Account.

They may appear and sometimes they may not. But if you have enabled them, they’ll always appear on mobile devices. You can also read the official statement of Google on Anchor ads here.
