    Hi,

    I have added Google Adsense as an inarticle ad but ads are not always shown. A visitor will see a blank white space (iframe) with a fixed width/height.

    That there are no ads is not a problem. But how can I prevent that a white space is shown to my visitors?

    Problem doesn’t occur all the time.

    Thank you.

    Hi Tim,

    thanks for reaching out.

    I went to your site and saw the content ad position, which reserved a bit of space.

    This is due to two settings:

    1. the “clearfix” option is set, which adds an additional linebreak. With responsive ad units, I would not set it and keep the “Position” option to default. Having it aligned left or right would actually break it.

    2. your theme comes with a layout settings that adds a padding to the ins tag. Not sure if you can follow, but this CSS rule would fix it:

    ins.adsbygoogle { padding: 0; }

    Please let me know if you need anything else.

    Hi Tim,

    I still see an empty space on the originally linked page, but not on others.
    There is one error on that page that is not on others and might be related. It is a script issue from criteo, an ad network delivering ads through AdSense. The issue could be on their end. I have actually seen this from time to time and it resolves itself if another ad vendor gets the bit.

    There is nothing you can do to collapse the space, since technically, the ad impression is filled.

    Best regards,
    Thomas
