Managed Google Ad Manager network for publishers

The modern publisher ad network

pubads is a managed Google Ad Manager network for publishers — a simpler AdSense alternative. We get your site approved, Google serves the ads, and you get unified reporting and reliable payouts: no ad ops, no AdSense or Ad Manager account to juggle, no code beyond a few ad-unit tags.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Google. We get your site approved into our Google Ad Manager network, and Google's advertiser demand serves the ads on your pages. You just paste the ad-unit tags we generate.

No. We manage everything through our Google Ad Manager network — there's no AdSense or AdX account for you to set up or juggle.

First, one ads.txt line to verify you own the site. Once you're approved and live, the ad-unit tags we generate. No other code, no ad ops.

Going live is a three-step approval flow. You add your site and verify ownership with one ads.txt line, then an automated policy check evaluates it against Google's publisher policies while our team reviews anything flagged. Once it clears our review we submit it to our Google Ad Manager network, Google runs its own review, and your ad units go live. Most quality sites clear every stage within a few business days, and if anything needs fixing you'll get a specific, actionable reason rather than a silent rejection.

Publishers keep up to 85% of the gross revenue Google reports for their inventory, with transparent splits expressed in basis points and computed per site. There are no setup fees, no platform fees, and no hidden deductions. Invalid traffic filtered before serve never enters the billable total, so you're never charged share on revenue that wouldn't have paid out. Every figure — gross revenue, the network rate, filtered amounts, and your net balance — is written to an append-only ledger you can audit line by line and reconcile against Google's own reporting.

Withdraw from your approved balance on flexible cycles (NET-30 default) across multiple currencies and rails, from a $50 minimum. Every entry is recorded in an append-only, auditable ledger.
