What is the criteria to get accepted into Google AdSense API revenue sharing program


Learn the criteria for a site to be eligible to participate in Google AdSense Host API based revenue sharing program. In addition to the minimum number of pages, there are several other criteria to be met to be accepted in to this program.

One of the basic requirements to become a AdSense Host API Partner site is, your website should be receiving minimum 100,000 page views per day.

Since Google has no access to your traffic tracking tools, I am sure Google will be relying on various third party ranking systems, which may or may not give accurate statistics. It is quite possible that Google will only look at the overall ranking/popularity of the site and not the exact number of page views since they have no way to find it out. If your site is receiving the minimum page views but Google is not convinced, you may send your traffic reports to Google.

If you have multiple sites and if they all together have the 100,000 page views per day, that is not enough. Google is expecting you to have the required traffic per site and not across multiple sites together.

Also, if your site does not meet the traffic criteria currently but you expect to meet it in future, that is not enough. Google expect your site to have the required traffic at the time of submitting your AdSense Host API implementation for review.

Other eligibility criteria for AdSense API revenue sharing program


The 100,000 page views per day requirement is just one of many requirements to get accepted in to the AdSense API program. Your website should follow all AdSense terms and conditions and the content should comply with Google AdSense program policies. Google Host APIs are meant for premium sites which provide unique and original content. If your site is publishing un-moderated user content, you may not be eligible for this program. Even though the AdSense account of the author will be used in the user generated content page, as a host, you are responsible for maintaining high quality content in your website.

Technical and Policy Requirements


In addition to the minimum traffic requirements, you site must also meet the technical and policy requirements to participate in the AdSense Host API program. Many of these requirements can be implemented during the development process.
