Why is ad overlapping a red flag?

Ad overlapping is a red flag because it can have negative consequences on both the user experience and the performance of the ads themselves.

Firstly, overlapping ads can negatively affect the user experience by making it difficult for the user to access and interact with the content on the page. This can lead to frustration and a poor overall impression of the website, which can result in lower user engagement and retention.

Secondly, overlapping ads can also have a negative impact on the performance of the ads themselves. When an ad is overlapped by another element on the page, it becomes less visible to the user, which can result in lower viewability rates. This can in turn lead to lower CPMs, fill rates, and other key performance metrics.

In addition, Google and other search engines penalize websites that engage in ad overlapping, as it is seen as a violation of their guidelines on user experience and ad placement. This can result in lower search engine rankings and reduced traffic to the website.

Overall, it is important to avoid ad overlapping in order to provide a positive user experience and ensure optimal performance of the ads on the page.
