In-article ads are optimised by Google to help you to put great-looking ads between the paragraphs of your pages or articles. In-article ads use high-quality advertising elements and offer a great reading experience to your visitors.
Benefits of In-Article Ads:

3. Matched content
Matched Content* drives more users to your content. Matched content ads are available to the Google AdSense publishers that meet the eligibility criteria. Matched content is a content recommendation tool that helps you to promote your content to visitors and potentially increases the revenue, page views, and time spent on your website or blog. AdSense publishers who are eligible for “Allow Ads” feature can also show relevant ads within their matched content units. This leads to the creation of can additional revenue opportunity in this placement.
Website Places where Native Ads should be used

- In-feed: Use In-feed ads inside your feed. For example, a list of article or the products.
- In-article: Use In-article ads between the paragraphs of your pages or articles.
