AdSense revenue share

For displaying ads with AdSense for content, publishers receive 68% of the revenue recognized by Google in connection with the service. For AdSense for search, publishers receive 51% of the revenue recognized by Google. These percentages are consistent, regardless of a publisher's geographic location, and are not in any way averaged between publishers. We don't disclose the revenue share for other AdSense products; the revenue share varies for other products due to different costs of developing and supporting these products.

You can view revenue share details in your account:

1. On the Home tab, visit the Account settings page.
2. In the "Account information" section, you'll see each revenue share displayed next to "Active products."

We believe our revenue share is extremely competitive. However, revenue shares alone can be misleading, so we encourage you to focus on the total revenue generated for your site. For example, if Google’s auction of ad inventory on your site generates $100, with our 68% revenue share you'd receive $68 through AdSense. Another ad network might offer an 80% revenue share, but only collect $50 from advertisers, so you'd receive $40.

With the vast number of advertisers competing to appear on AdSense sites, our system ensures that you're earning the most possible for every ad impression you receive.

Does participation in AdSense affect my site's position in the Google search results?

Participating in Google AdSense does not affect your site's rank in Google search results and will not affect the search results we deliver. Google believes strongly in freedom of expression and therefore offers broad access to content across the web. Our search results are unbiased by our relationships with paying advertisers and publishers. We will continue to show search results according to our PageRank technology.

Adding the AdSense code to your site will not queue your pages for crawling by our main index bots. While our bot (starting with 'Mediapartners-Google') does crawl content pages for the purpose of targeting ads, participation in AdSense does not increase the number of pages from a site in our main index.

My ads: Manage your inventory more efficiently

The My ads tab has been redesigned to help you manage your ad inventory more efficiently. This is where you create and manage your ad units and custom channels, as well as where you sign up for additional AdSense products, like AdSense for search, AdSense for feeds, and more.

Products: We've grouped ad units based on product type, so it's easy for you to see the inventory you've made available for search, content, and other AdSense products. The interface also allows you to view ad units and custom channels side by side. Plus, you can select multiple ad units to update their ad type at once.

Filter ad units: We’ve added a view filter to this page so that you can easily search for specific ad units and channels.

Other products: If you want to start using additional AdSense products, like AdSense for search or games, you can do so by clicking on the specific product here. You will then be guided through the set up process for that product.

Need another AdSense account? Depending on your situation, there may be a number of possible solutions.

Publishers are only allowed to maintain one AdSense account under the same payee name.

However, Google 've provided some guidance below that may help you if you're trying to submit multiple applications. Please identify which common reason best describes your situation, then follow the instructions below.

 I need to change the Google Account login for my existing account

There are two ways you can do this:

Associate a different Google Account as your login

If you have Administrator access, you can invite a new Administrator, log in as the new

Administrator and then remove your original Google Account login.

Edit your Google Account

You can change your email address/login by editing the Google Account you use to access

AdSense.

This is only available for non-Gmail addresses and affects all of the products that are linked to

your Google Account

.

I can't access my existing account

This troubleshooter is designed to help you solve common problems signing in to your AdSense account. At each step, Google 'll provide instructions or further questions to help narrow down the issue you're facing. Following the instructions exactly will help ensure the best results.

I need to add more sites to my existing account

You can use your existing account to do so. Please see Google's entry on adding more sites.

I need a separate account for my business

In this case, you may submit a new application. Please make sure that the account type (individual or business) and payee name are different from your original application, and ensure that you can accept payments to that payee.

I need more reporting channels

The maximum number of channels Google offer is 500 custom channels and 500 URL channels per product. URL channels are only available for AdSense for content products.

Can I sign up if I am already a part of another ad network?

Google have some guidelines as to how non-Google ads may be displayed along with Google ads. Google do allow affiliate or limited-text links.

If your ad network already displays Google ads on your pages, you can still join AdSense and run ads on your site through Google program. Google allow publishers to display up to three standard Google ad units on any webpage.

Keep in mind that it's your responsibility to work out any contractual issues that may arise with your ad network as a result of serving Google ads directly.

Reasons your website might not be a good fit for AdSense

Google's system has filters in place to keep advertisers' ads from displaying on pages that could be interpreted as negative, non-family safe or potentially offensive. If a site falls into one of these categories or Google's system detects any other reason an advertiser might not want their ads on a website, Google's system may classify that site's content as sensitive.

If this happens to your site, Google's system will try to display appropriate ads for your page. For example, a news article related to a car accident might display ads related to driving safety instead of ads related to car sales. However, if it's determined that Google's system can't display ads which are appropriate for a site's sensitive content, then ad serving may be disabled.

Age requirements

Can I sign up for AdSense if I'm under 18 years old?

As stated in the AdSense Terms and Conditions, publishers must be at least 18 years of age to participate in the AdSense program.

If you are not yet 18, you may have a parent or guardian submit an application using their own Google Account. If their application is approved, all payments will be made to the adult responsible for the site.

Ownership of the site you want to use for AdSense

To use AdSense monetization products on your website, you must have access to edit the HTML source code of the web pages where you'd like the ads to be displayed. If you submit a site that you don't own (for example, www.google.com), you won't be able to place the AdSense code on the site and your application will not be approved.

If you've created a website via a content management system (CMS) (for example, Blogger), you can submit its URL providing that you have access to AdSense or to the HTML source code from the interface.

If you don't have a website, or your site isn't compatible with JavaScript, the following options will help you get started with AdSense:

Create a new blog using Google's service, Blogger. Through Blogger, webmasters can display Google ads without ever copying or pasting HTML code. Signing up for a Blogger account is fast, easy and free.

Once you've created your blog, you can add Google ads by following these instructions to enable AdSense on yourblog.

If you want to monetize your YouTube video content, please apply for the YouTube Partner Program or if your YouTube account is already eligible for monetization follow the instructions displayed in the YouTube interface to apply for AdSense.
