FAQ
How long until I see ads?
From registration to first ad: domain verification is instant, manual approval takes 1–3 business days, GAM provisioning is automatic under 10 minutes, and ads appear immediately after the script is installed.
Do I need a Google Ad Manager account?
No GAM account needed — Advlume operates a managed GAM network on your behalf. If you already have GAM or AdSense, there are options for both migration and co-existence.
Is Advlume free to use?
Advlume is free to use — no setup fees, no subscription. It operates on a revenue share model, retaining a percentage of earnings, with everything (wrapper, CMP, GAM, reporting) included at no cost.
Can I use Advlume alongside other ad networks?
Advlume coexists with affiliate widgets and native content units, but conflicts with AdSense auto-ads and other header bidding wrappers on the same page. You can use Advlume on some pages and other networks on others.
What countries do you support?
Publishers from any country can join Advlume. Audience geography has a large impact on CPMs — Tier-1 (US/UK/CA/AU) traffic earns 3–10× more than Tier-3 traffic. The CMP handles regional privacy compliance automatically.
How do I block specific ad categories?
Block ads by category (IAB codes), by demand partner, or by advertiser domain from the Block Rules settings page — with important caveats about revenue impact and category detection accuracy.
What is the minimum traffic requirement?
No hard minimum traffic threshold, but sites under ~20,000 monthly page views may not generate enough revenue to meet payment thresholds. Quality matters more than volume — low-traffic, high-value sites can qualify.
Can I customize where ads appear?
You have complete control — ads only appear where you place a slot div. No automatic injection. Use CMS conditional logic to show ads on specific page types and exclude pages you want ad-free.
How does Advlume compare to AdSense?
Advlume runs 12+ DSPs in parallel via header bidding vs. AdSense's single Google auction — typically yielding 30–100% higher CPMs for sites over 50K monthly page views, with lower payment threshold ($25 vs $100).
