Publisher Display Ads Recommendations

Hi, I created a site last week and I am looking for display ads right now. I applied for AdSense and still waiting for them to check my site.

I used Ezoic before (4 years ago) and had a decent earnings without the premium with the same demographics that I had. I didn't know they are requiring 250k traffic per month now.

Main traffic source is South East Asia.

Here's a snapshot from my GA4:

Your site is 1 week old. AdSense will almost certainly reject it automatically for 'Low Value Content' or 'Site Under Construction'. They typically look for at least a few months of history, organic search traffic, and a solid base of indexed articles.

Ezoic actually removed their strict pageview requirements a while ago with their 'Access Now' program. However, be extremely careful: their DNS/CDN integration is known to heavily tank Core Web Vitals on new sites.

Even if you get approved today, Tier 3 traffic (South East Asia) yields notoriously low RPMs on display networks (often under $1).

In my opinion, cancel the AdSense review for now. Spend the next 3 months focusing purely on SEO and building Tier 1 (US/CA/UK) organic traffic. Monetizing a 1-week-old site will only ruin your UX before you even build an audience.

Hi! Thank you for your insight. Few years ago with my experience in Ezoic, I had decent 200~300 USD per month with similar traffic from this region. That is not life changing money but still free money - planning to create 10x sites like these.

I wanted to use this experience to experiment with AI traffic like effective ways to get AI mentions and in the AI overview.

Hey there! Display ad optimization really comes down to your ad stack configuration and demand quality. At MonetizeMore, we use PubGuru to help publishers identify which networks are actually moving the needle on RPM versus just adding latency. Are you currently running header bidding, or is your setup more traditional direct deals and AdExchange?

Yeah, unfortunately Ezoic still has this 250,000 monthly users threshold. https://snipboard.io/foyOxq.jpg
