Responsive affiliate content?

[pbryd]

Having recieved the email from Google saying my sites are not mobile friendly, I've began updating a few of them using the Bootstrap framework.

This has left with a responsive column available for some affiliate content.

What options do I have for adding some responsive affiliate ads apart from adsense?

As an example here is one I started updating last night, if you change the width of your browser you'll notice the empy column narrows and widens.

Any recommendations appreciated.

I'm interested in this also.

I found this which may help you, in that you can change the size of the ad served via Adsense or DFP.

My problem is slightly different. We have a site serving ads sold directly to customers, all using a 300 x 250 small rectangle ad served via Google DFP. I know how to change the size of the ad served via DFP, but we are only using the one ad type.

What I don't know is how to make the ad served responsive. All we really need is to impose {max-width:100%} on the ad but how we go about this I simply can't find.

I haven't came across DFP but have added some responsive adsense to another site and it's working well (responsive wise).

Sadly the only thing Amazon have is a repsonsive search box.

Perhaps I'm looking in he wrong places but the advertisers seem to be a little behind the curve when it comes to repsonsive useability.

Phil, that site isn't responsive for me. The header is but the content isn't?

In what sense?

Bear in mind i have an empty column on the right awaiting some kind of affiliate content.

If I click on the shopping link, the part of the page with the items is fixed width so when the window is resized you have to scroll left to right.

Yes, this is problem. I'm trying to find responsive solutions.

Amazons search box works well, I guess it's a matter of time before other options are available

I could create an xml feed and populate a database and use PHP but I was hoping for something a little easier to implement/

Yes, it's the core principle of the bootstrap framework, which is what I used to put this site together.

Admittedly the structure of the site is copied from the old one which wasn't designed mobile first.

Perhaps I need to re-think the layout from scratch.
