Side rail ads will start serving on wider screens on Google Adsense
Today, Google Adsense announcing a new ad format called side rails. Side rails are ads that stick to the sides of your pages when they’re viewed on widescreen devices, such as desktops. If you already have anchor ads turned on, side rails will automatically start to appear on your site after 13-12-2022.
If you’d prefer not to show side rails, you can turn off this option in your Auto ads settings.
What does this mean for me?
• From 13-12-2022, if you’re using anchor ads, this ad format will start to appear on your sites on wider screens such as desktop devices.
• You may see an increase in your auto ads revenue.
• The change will apply to all sites that have “Anchor ads” enabled in your AdSense account.
• There’s no action required from you for this change to take effect on your sites.
• If you’d prefer not to show side rails, you can turn off “Side rails” in your Auto ads settings.

Description
In-page ads
Turn this option off if you don’t want to show in-page ads.
Anchor ads
Turn this option off if you don’t want to show anchor ads.Anchor ads stick to the edge of the user’s screen and are easily dismissible. These ads mainly serve on mobile but can appear on desktop too.
They appear at the top of the user’s screen unless we determine that this would negatively affect the user experience, in which case we show them at the bottom. When shown at the top, anchor ads only appear after the user has scrolled down far enough, so that they never cover your site’s branding or navigation.
Wide screen
Turn this option off if you don’t want anchor ads to appear on screens wider than 1000px, like desktop
