ads showing up in wrong places

Hi,

please read this:

Do not use AdSense Auto ads if you do not want to have those ads randomly placed on your site.

do you have to set up auto adds? i ask because I only just got approved for adsense and when i go to where auto ads are in my adsense account, it is not set up yet. it even says “click here” to get started with auto ads.

No, auto ads are not necessary. I will write a tutorial for this in the next days and explain the differences between these ad types
