Google Adsense published on 6 March 2024,
Starting 4 March 2024, before you can show ads via AdSense for Search (AFS) on a new site, you’ll need to add your site to the Sites page in your AdSense account. Each new site will go through a verification process that checks that you own the domain or have the ability to modify its content. The process will also review your site for compliance with the AdSense programme policies and Google Publisher policies. After checks are completed, your site will be marked as ‘Ready’ and you can start showing AFS ads.
We’re launching this change in several stages:
- Any existing sites you’re currently monetising with AFS should automatically appear on the Sites page in your AdSense account. You have until 30 August 2024, to submit your sites for approval. Ads will continue to serve during this interim period.
- If you haven’t submitted your sites for review before 30 August 2024, Google will cease to serve AFS ads until your site is successfully approved.
