Google Adsense Move To First Price Auction : AdSense earnings be impacted?
Why is AdSense moving to a first-price auction?
On display ad selling platforms, a first-price auction simplifies the buying experience for advertisers because the final price reflects the winner’s bid. Google Ad Manager and AdMob have already moved to a first price auction, and by streamlining the auction model across AdSense, Ad Manager, and AdMob, advertisers benefit from a consistent process across Google’s ad selling platforms. This helps to grow advertiser spending confidence across the display advertising ecosystem - and an increase in spending confidence over time will benefit publishers.
Why is AdSense making this change now?
In the early days of online display advertising, ad space was typically sold to advertisers in a second-price auction, where the final price paid by the winner was determined by the amount of the second-highest bid. Over time, many ad selling platforms in the display advertising ecosystem, including Ad Manager, AdMob, and many third-party ad exchanges, switched their auctions to first-price. In a first-price auction, the final price reflects the winning bid. In the coming months, AdSense will move to a first-price auction. This will help advertisers by simplifying how they buy online ads and make it easier for them to buy your ad space sold on AdSense.

Will we still be able to leverage all ad formats in the new auction?

Will this change impacts my AdSense earnings be impacted?
Due to the dynamic auction environment, we cannot predict how specific AdSense publishers will be impacted.

When Ad Manager moved to a first-price auction, there was a neutral to slightly positive impact to publisher earnings on average.
