Recently I was studying responsive design a lot and designed couple of sites. But I was wondering how would I use Google AdSense (which is pixel based) ads on my responsive design?

Very typical example is suppose I have a 728x90 ads on header. Or if I do a mobile first approach I would need different versions of ad sizes for different view posts but Google doesn't allow more than three ad unit per page (as far as I know).

So, Question: What is the right approach/best practice of using Google AdSense on a responsive site design?

It looks like Google now has "Responsive Ad Units" to fit in with responsive designs.

I don't think you could use it the horizontal leader boards in a responsive design.

The two ways i could think of incorporating it would be to:

  1. use sky scrapers and mpu ads that would sit in a side bar and then come in to be part of the responsive design.
  2. detect that the viewing device is a tablet or phone and run mobile ads accordingly (keeping the rest of the site responsive as is.)
