Sorry if this is a noob Q: I just launched a responsive design for my Q&A site (with 3 Adsense units). It's a 3-column layout on desktop with a skyscraper unit in the right-most column, but as you narrow the browser width, the first break-point simply hides the 3rd column (including the skyscraper unit.)
But in reviewing my Adsense stats, I noticed that on Smartphones -- which will never be wide enough to actually accommodate the 3rd column -- the skyscraper ad is still getting tens of thousands of ad requests (99.5%+ coverage), though obviously with 0% CTR, since it's never actually visible.
What I'm taking away from that is that Google's still counting it towards my limit of 3 / page, even though the responsive CSS is telling the browser not to display it.
- So first off: is that what's going on? Does it count against my 3 / page limit?
- In an ideal world, I'd like to still have 3 ad units visible on mobile...is there an accepted best-practices method to tell your responsive design to show Ads A & B & C on desktop, but A & B & D on mobile so as to exceed the 3/page max?
