Google AdSense
You can control your website’s online advertising within your Google AdSense account. In the left-hand menu pane, you’ll see an option for Ads.

How to Turn Your Google Online Advertising Down
Then click on the website bar to edit the settings. I’m not interested in earning money via Google AdSense, so I want to attract premium brands with large budgets.

I currently have these set to:
- Overlay formats: (0/3)
- In-page formats: (0/2)
- Excluded areas: No areas excluded.
- Excluded pages: No pages excluded.
When you have finished select the blue button that says “Apply to site”.
If your readers or customers are complaining about seeing too many annoying pop-up advertising, or in-page advertising. You can change how passive or aggressive your Google AdSense marketing strategy is.

You might like to test your website for a month to see what happens to your Google website analytics. Or just check your bank balance and see how much or little money you are earning.
It all depends on what your digital marketing strategy is, how tech-savvy your readers are, and who your target audience is.
