Auto Ads scans the DOM when this script executes and picks placements from what
it finds. From 2021 until 2026-08-16 this tag sat on the last line before
, so it ran after the page had rendered and found far fewer slots —
508 impressions against 643 pageviews, roughly 0.8 ads per view.
There are no units anywhere in this app, so Auto Ads
is the ONLY thing serving ads. Placement itself is controlled in the AdSense UI
(Ads > By site), not here — this tag just has to load early.
