5) Native Advertising won’t hurt Google ads

This actually promotes site engagement. Native advertising is another strategy wherein ads appear in coherence with the site’s content. It gets the reader’s attention by providing relevant ads which the readers can share.

We have mentioned before that this strategy offers promising results not only for advertisers but to the readers as well.

Here are a few of the advantages:

  • According to many readers, native ads don’t hinder their reading experience on the website. Most of them prefer sharing native ads over display or other ad types.
  • Native ads boost brand awareness for consumers and also social engagement.
  • US-based publishers have proven that native ads help them grow their business.
  • Many consumers admitted that native ads have helped them in searching for content that will give them an idea about the product before purchasing.
  • Readers will not hesitate in sharing useful information with their friends and family, even if it’s an ad.

6) Google favors mobile-friendly sites on mobile search rankings

As an Adsense publisher, it is time to make sure your site is mobile-friendly/responsive in order to sustain good traffic levels and boost your mobile ad revenue potential.  And we all know that mobile traffic has surpassed desktop search. So now is the time to keep up with the big switch.

When creating your website on a desktop, always remember that most of the readers nowadays use their mobile phones in visiting and browsing websites. To find out if your site is mobile-friendly, take the free Mobile-Friendly Test here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly
