GIGAZINE access analysis results for October 2023



This article is limited to paid members of

the GIGAZINE Secret Club , but anyone can view it until December 30, 2023.

Notice #1: As pointed out by readers, it has become clear that in some cases, the display of the 'full-screen advertisement that appears when transitioning from the top page to the article page' is completely cut off, making it impossible to tap the button to remove the advertisement.



When I contacted Google's Publisher Support, they told me that they needed logs obtained using the following method to identify the cause.

At the time of writing this article, the investigation is ongoing, so if you encounter a full-screen ad that you can't close, it would be very helpful if you could report it under ' Other inquiries .'
