SEO for Ad-Supported Sites: Earning From Ads Without Losing Rankings

By Adsonmarket Editorial Team ·

Search magnifier and growing traffic chart for an ad-supported website

Ads don't hurt rankings directly. Slow pages, jumping layouts and intrusive popups do. Fix those, and ads and SEO coexist comfortably.

Reserve space for ads

Set a fixed height for each ad container so content doesn't jump when ads load.

Protect page speed

Load ad scripts asynchronously and lazy-load units below the fold.

Avoid intrusive interstitials

Full-screen overlays on mobile can affect how search engines judge a page.

Example

Fixing layout shift

Adding fixed-height containers for two ad units cut a blog's layout shift score from 0.32 to 0.04.

Step-by-step

  1. Measure page speed and layout shift
  2. Reserve ad container heights
  3. Load scripts async
  4. Re-measure
