Question 1

What is an ad network readiness score?

Accepted Answer

An ad network readiness score is a 0-100 rating that indicates how prepared your website is for a specific ad network. It evaluates your site's performance, content quality, policy compliance, site architecture, and traffic signals against each network's known requirements. A higher score means better chances of approval.

Question 2

How many ad networks does AdGateScore check?

Accepted Answer

AdGateScore checks your readiness for 14 ad networks across four tiers: Entry (AdSense, Adsterra, Sovrn), Growth (Media.net, Monumetric, Ezoic), Scale (SHE Media, Raptive, Playwire, Mediavine, Setupad, Snigel), and Premium (Publift, Freestar). Each network has different requirements and thresholds.

Question 3

Is the readiness check free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the basic readiness check is completely free. Enter your URL, and within 60 seconds you will get your readiness scores for all 14 ad networks. No signup or credit card required. Premium plans offer additional features like detailed fix recommendations, scheduled monitoring, and competitor benchmarking.

Question 4

Which ad network should I apply to first?

Accepted Answer

Start with entry-tier networks like Google AdSense or Adsterra, which have the lowest requirements. As your site grows in traffic and content quality, move up to growth-tier networks like Media.net or Ezoic, then to scale-tier networks like Mediavine or Raptive. Your AdGateScore readiness report shows exactly which networks you qualify for today.

Question 5

What's the difference between sessions, pageviews, and unique visitors?

Accepted Answer

Different networks measure traffic differently. Sessions are individual visits (one person visiting twice = 2 sessions). Pageviews are total pages loaded (one person viewing 3 pages = 3 pageviews). Unique visitors are individual people regardless of visits. Mediavine requires 50,000 sessions; Ezoic requires 250,000 unique visitors. Make sure you're comparing the right metric for each network.

Question 6

Can I apply to multiple networks at the same time?

Accepted Answer

You can apply to multiple networks simultaneously, but most premium networks require exclusivity once you join — you can only run one premium network's ads at a time. Apply to your top choice first, and keep backups in case of rejection.

Question 7

My readiness shows 95% but I got rejected. Why?

Accepted Answer

The readiness score covers the technical and content signals we can measure. Networks also evaluate subjective factors like content voice, design quality, and traffic trends that automated tools can't fully assess. A high score means strong technical readiness, but approval also depends on the human review component.
