Today, we're announcing a new display ads option for the ad intents format. You can now choose to either show display ads in your ad intents, or search ads with display ads as backup when search ads aren't available. If you're already using ad intents, we've automatically set your ad intents setting to "Show search ads with organic search results".
As a reminder, ad intents places links, anchors and chips into existing text and pages on your site related to your content. When a user interacts with a link, anchor, or chip, it opens a dialog that shows users relevant, organic search results with ads. Note that display ads and search ads have different revenue shares. When users click on display ads in ad intents you receive the AdSense for content revenue share. Learn more about how you earn from ad intents.
