These ads are displayed in the form of image, video, text, and other interactive media type depending on advertisers\u2019 requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever these ads get impressions or clicks on your website, you get paid as per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-policy-guide\/\">terms signed with Google AdSense<\/a>. While setting up a Google AdSense account, it requires you to provide selective information related to your website and business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this information, Google is able to display relevant ads to the visitors coming on your website. You can further optimize your ads by using feature offered by Google AdSense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though it\u2019s common that most AdSense users (publishers) do not really understand the use of the Ad Optimization, and hence end up with blank ad slots on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When none of the ads available in the pool satisfies the established criteria (i.e. size, type, format, style of ad), the provided ad space gets displayed with a blank or coloured block. This is the default settings of Google AdSense, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adsense\/answer\/113262?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=1307438\">if no Google ads are available for your ad unit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such a case, you can consider going for Backup Ad; also called Backup Ads by Google AdSense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #000000;color:#000000\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#Overview_Of_AdSense_Backup_Ad\" >Overview Of AdSense Backup Ad<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#Why_Do_You_Need_Backup_Ads\" >Why Do You Need Backup Ads?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#How_to_Setup_Backup_Ads_For_Google_AdSense\" >How to Setup Backup Ads For Google AdSense<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#Benefits_of_Having_AdSense_Backup_Ads\" >Benefits of Having AdSense Backup Ads<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#What_Have_We_Understood\" >What Have We Understood<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#Key_Take_Aways\" >Key Take Aways<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/adsense-backup-ads\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"h-overview-of-adsense-backup-ad\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overview_Of_AdSense_Backup_Ad\"><\/span>Overview Of AdSense Backup Ad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, Backup Ads are a set of secondary ads used when primary ads are unable to fill in the provided ad space. The AdSense Backup Ad is known by different names viz. Fallback Ads, Ad Waterfalls, Passback Ad, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving a blank space or coloured block will not do any good for your business. However, adding a backup ad can rather optimize that space and generate revenue for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note <\/strong>&#8211; Google AdSense provides no default service called \u201cBackup Ads\u201d. You create your own set of backup for ads using Google AdSense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-why-do-you-need-backup-ads\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_You_Need_Backup_Ads\"><\/span>Why Do You Need Backup Ads?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are trying to generate revenue using display ads, then Backup Ads should be a big deal for you. They can help you optimize the use of available ad resource in a better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be times when the criteria established by you for an ad to display is not being fulfilled by any available ad. In such a case, you may create one or more backup ads. Backup Ads open a wide range of possibilities for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These ads can be related to some important service provided by you. Or, you may just put details related to any offer or upcoming launch\/event, etc. (if creating a pre-launch buzz makes sense to you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, you may also use the available space to generate leads or start affiliate marketing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-setup-backup-ads-for-google-adsense\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Setup_Backup_Ads_For_Google_AdSense\"><\/span>How to Setup Backup Ads For Google AdSense<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\">Creating a Backup Ad is as simple as creating any other Ad using Google AdSense. Although, you need to be careful while customizing your Ad criteria.<br\/><strong>Note: <\/strong>Backup ad unit is not added to get more impression over other ads. Hence in this case, you are not competing for impressions.<br\/>Here are the detailed steps you can follow to Set up Backup Ads for AdSense:<\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1666190336455\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 1: Create an Ad with Google AdSense<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">To get started, make sure you have a Google Account. If you don\u2019t have one, creating one is a matter of seconds.<br\/>Sign in to <strong>AdSense <\/strong>using your Google Account credentials.<br\/>Click on <strong>Ads <\/strong>and go to <strong>Ad Units<\/strong>.<br\/>Here, click <strong>+ New Ad Unit<\/strong>; this means create a new ad unit.<br\/>Give this ad a name, say \u201cBackup Ad.\u201d<br\/>You can now customize your ad as per your needs i.e. size, type, style, and more. Since these are backup ads, you should keep the customization as minimum as possible. Moreover, use the recommended settings or default options.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1666190366201\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 2: Create an \u2018Ordered\u2019 Group<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">If you are creating N number of ads, you need add Ad Groups to keep things sorted. Also, for each group, you can add a Backup Ad. here are the steps to create an ad group::<br\/>Click on <strong>+ Add New Ad Group<\/strong> in the <strong>Ad Groups<\/strong> tab.<br\/>Name your Ad Group and make it an <strong>Ordered <\/strong>ad type.<br\/>Hit <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1666190386179\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 3: Put Weight to the Ad<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Once you have your ad group ready, you need to add weight to the Ads present in the group. The ad with greater weight will be placed first in the available ad space.<br\/>If it doesn\u2019t satisfy the presented criteria, the next largest weight will be selected. Finally, when all other ads get rejected, Backup Ad will be placed. Here are steps to add weight to AdSense Backup Ad:<br\/>Once you have created the Ad Group, go to <strong>Backup Ad<\/strong>.<br\/>Put the backup ad to the newly created group; now you need to give weight to the ads present in the group.<br\/>Give the lowest weight to the Backup ad.<br\/>Click <strong>Save<\/strong> and get the code.<br\/>Lastly, copy &amp; paste the ad code to the source code of your website.<br\/>After these steps, the Ad will be live in a few minutes. Similarly, you can put <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/admanager\/answer\/2811375?hl=en\">passback ad<\/a> to all other ad groups as per your requirements.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-benefits-of-having-adsense-backup-ads\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Having_AdSense_Backup_Ads\"><\/span>Benefits of Having AdSense Backup Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have discussed, when there is no ad available to fill in space, it will be displayed with a blank or a solid colour block. This is the wastage of the space which ideally should be utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that, you can simply create an AdSense Backup Ad or Passback Ad to put it there. If you understand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/ad-optimization-publishers-checklist-2019\/\">Ad Optimization<\/a>, you will understand the importance of utilization of space available on the website.
