Our Mission
AdGateScore exists to help website owners and publishers understand their readiness for ad network approval. We are committed to providing accurate, unbiased, and actionable information that publishers can trust when making decisions about their monetization strategy.
Accuracy Commitment
Every score, recommendation, and piece of guidance on AdGateScore is grounded in verifiable data. Our scanning engine runs 80+ automated checks against each website, measuring real performance metrics, analysing actual page content, and evaluating compliance against documented ad network policies. We do not fabricate scores, inflate results, or present unsubstantiated claims. When our AI-powered features generate recommendations, we clearly label them as AI-generated and advise users to review them before implementation.
Data Sources
Our readiness scores are derived from multiple authoritative sources:
- Google PageSpeed Insights API for Core Web Vitals and performance metrics
- Chrome UX Report (CrUX) for real-world field performance data
- Mozilla HTTP Observatory for security header analysis
- SSL Labs (Qualys) for SSL certificate evaluation
- W3C Nu HTML Validator for markup validity checks
- Official ad network documentation for approval thresholds and policy requirements
Update Frequency
We continuously update our platform to reflect changes in the ad tech landscape:
- Scan checks: reviewed and updated quarterly, or immediately when ad networks announce policy changes
- Network thresholds: monitored via automated change-detection scripts and verified against official ad network documentation
- Blog and guide content: reviewed at least every six months; outdated articles are updated or clearly marked with a revision date
- Glossary terms: updated as new industry terminology emerges
Correction Policy
If we discover an error in our content, scores, or recommendations, we correct it promptly and transparently:
- Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified, with the correction date noted on the page
- Significant corrections include a note explaining what was changed and why
- Users who report errors receive acknowledgement and, where appropriate, credit for bringing the issue to our attention
- To report an error, email [email protected] with the page URL and a description of the issue
Independence Statement
AdGateScore maintains editorial independence from all ad networks and advertising partners. Our scoring algorithms are developed internally and are not influenced by affiliate relationships, advertising partnerships, or commercial agreements. While we may earn commissions from affiliate links to ad network application pages (see our Affiliate Disclosure), these relationships never affect the scores, recommendations, or readiness assessments we provide. A site that is not ready for a network will receive an honest assessment regardless of any commercial consideration.
Editorial Team
Our content is produced by a team with over 10 years of combined experience in digital publishing, ad operations, and programmatic advertising. All editorial content is reviewed for accuracy before publication. AI-assisted content is always reviewed and edited by our team before it goes live.
