Overview of feeds
A feed is a stream of content that you can scroll through. The content appears in similar-looking blocks that repeat one after the other. A feed can be editorial (for example, a list of articles or news) or listings (for example, a list of products and services). Feeds can appear anywhere on the page.
Note: For In-feed ads, a feed doesn't refer to a web syndication feed, such as RSS.
Types of feeds
Feeds can include:
- Homepage main feed (for example, a news feed)
- Product or services results main feed
- Horizontal feed
- Text-only feed
You could have a site that has a different feed on a mobile versus a desktop device.
Example
A desktop grid layout becomes a feed when viewed on a mobile device.
You can create separate In-feed ads for the different screen sizes.
Tip: The width of your feed must be greater than 250 pixels to show In-feed ads.
Examples of feeds
The following examples include a Homepage and text-only feed.
