Google AdSense
Google AdSense integration for Nuxt.js. Advertisements will update whenever the page route changes
Setup
- Add
@nuxtjs/google-adsensedependency using yarn or npm to your project - Add
@nuxtjs/google-adsensetomodulessection ofnuxt.config.js
{
modules: [
// Simple usage
['@nuxtjs/google-adsense', {
id: 'ca-pub-###########'
}]
]
}Using top level options:
{
modules: [
['@nuxtjs/google-adsense']
],
'google-adsense': {
id: 'ca-pub-#########'
}
}Using runtime config:
{
modules: [
['@nuxtjs/google-adsense']
],
'google-adsense': {
onPageLoad: false,
pageLevelAds: false,
},
publicRuntimeConfig: {
'google-adsense': {
id: process.env.GOOGLE_ADSENSE_ID,
test: process.env.GOOGLE_ADSENSE_TEST_MODE === 'true',
},
},
}The asynchronous ad code (//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js) is automatically
added to the <head> section of your pages.

Test mode
The AdSense module will automatically switch to test mode when runniung Nuxt in dev mode.
But you can keep test mode on in production by setting the configuration option test to true.
Test mode uses a test publisher ID, so that you will not be violating AdSense TOS.
Note that test advertisements will typically appear as an empty space, but will have the correct dimensions (i.e. will occupy the correct space needed by the rendered ad).
Usage
Insert the <adsbygoogle /> component (or custom component name specified in options)
wherever you would like an advertisment placed.
The ad defaults to auto size format (configurable by setting the prop ad-format). This mode
is responsive by nature. You should place the <adsbygoogle /> component inside a container element
that has a specified (min/max) width and (min/max) height (which can be based on media queries),
or use style or classes on the <adsbygoogle /> component to restrict the advertisement to a
specific size (or sizes).
Use the ad-slot property to specify your google adsense ad slot value (specified as a string)
Component props:
| prop | type | description |
|---|---|---|
ad-slot |
String | Google Adsense adslot. This prop is required when not in test mode. Refer to your AdSense account for ad-slot values. |
ad-format |
String | Defaults to 'auto'. Refer to the adsense docs for other options |
ad-style |
Object | Styles to apply to the rendered <ins> element. Default: { display: 'block' }. Refer to VueJS style binding docs for the Object format. |
ad-layout |
String | Optional. Refer to the adsense docs |
ad-layout-key |
String | Optional. Refer to the adsense docs |
page-url |
String | Optional. Set a reference page URL (of similar content) if the ad is on a page that requires authentication. When set, this prop must be a fully qualified URL (inclcuding protocol and hostname). |
include-query |
Boolean | Override global option includeQuery on a per ad basis. Ensure all ads on a page have the same setting. |
analytics-uacct |
String | Google Analytics Account ID (if linking analytics with AdSense, i.e. UA-#######-#). Defaults to the value specified in the plugin option analyticsUacct. |
analytics-domain-name |
String | Google Analytics Account domain (if linking analytics with AdSense, i.e. example.com). Defaults to the value specified in the plugin option analyticsDomainName. |
Automatic updating of Ads
Whenever your route changes, any disaplayed ads will update, just as they would on normal page loads.
Caveats:
- Note: AdSense limits you to a maximum of three (3) ads per page.
- Caution: Reloading of ads arbitrarily (with minimal page content changes) may result in the suspension of your AdSense account. Refer to AdSense for full terms of use.
- Google needs to crawl each page where ads appear. Ensure your site SSR renders any page where ads apepar. Ads on un-crawlable pages will not be shown.
- When placing ads on pages that require authentication, set
page-urlon the<adsbygoogle />component to the URL of a page on your site that is publicly accessible, which would have similar/relevant content.
Background
This module uses a technique developed by the Angular team (with help from Google Adsense) to handle updating ads on progressive web applications:
- https://github.com/leonardteo/google-ads-test-angularjs
- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular/eyVo4XU04uk
Each time a new advertisement is requested, the adsense parameter data-ad-region is
updated to a random value. For this reason, you cannot set the data-ad-region attribute
on the <adsbygoogle /> component.
For test mode, the following blog was used as a reference:
