Here's what the in-article ads should look like (and do look like for me) on mobile:

Much less tall. Are the ads you see still big tall squares?


The content is generated on the fly so I don't control what specific ads readers will see. All I can control is the shape and position.

EDIT - I just found out what the problem was - Google was automatically 'optimising' the size of ads on mobiles, overruling my settings! I've just turned off this 'auto-optimise' feature and the size of the ads should be back in my control again.

Even in the body of the blog post?

In the url bar on your mobile browser there is a red symbol with an exclamation mark, what does that mean?

After a bit of trial and error I finally identified the real reason why the ads were continuing to appear so large on mobile devices. This issue should be fixed now: ads in articles should now obey my height settings and be limited to 140px across all devices. This should make them far less intrusive. I also moved the ad at the top of each review page just under the star rating back to its original position above the title.

Thank you!  ^-^
