I logged onto Google Adsense today and saw that they have introduced a new type of ad format called “Page-level ads”. This new option is designed specifically for visitors viewing your websites on mobile devices.
You should see a pop-up box explaining the new ad format when you log into your Google Adsense account. The four tabs in the pop-up box explains who the new ad format is for and what it offers.

You don't need to insert unique code in each website and you don't need to choose where to display the ads as they are added automatically when you add the page-level ads to the head area of your website template.
A preview tool is provided to show you how the ads look on your website.

All you have to do to enable page-level ads is enable them through your account and then add them to the head area of your websites.
Time will tell how profitable this new ad format will be, but with so many people browsing the internet using mobile devices, I know that this new ad format will help publis
