What is an AdSense Host Partner Site?

Here is the definition of Host Partner Site, according to Google:

"Host partners allow you to monetize the content you create on their websites by linking it to your AdSense account".

Let me explain in detail with some examples. Host Partner Sites are websites that are approved by Google to use Google AdSense APIs to share AdSense revenue with content authors (publishers).

Currently, there are 2 different ways websites implement AdSense revenue sharing with content writers:

1. By allowing you to specify your AdSense pub-id and then using that pub-id in some standard AdSense ad code which is inserted in to your content for a fixed percentage of rotations to share AdSense revenue with you. If the website like to share 50% AdSense revenue with you, your pub id will be used 60% of the times and their own ad code will be used remaining 40% of the times.

2. By using AdSense APIs, the Host Partner website can generate ad code from your AdSense account. Such ad code will have a special tag in it indicating the revenue will be shared between the publisher account and the host account.

Example:

google_ad_client="pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_host="pub-yyyyyyyyyyyy";

In the second case, the same ad code will be used 100% of the times but revenue will be split between host AdSense account and publisher account as agreed between Google and the Host site, which is disclosed to the publishers as well. You can see the Host Partner Sites which are linked with your AdSense accounts from your AdSense Account Settings page. You may enable or disable access anytime.
