Programmable Search Engine revenue sharing changes start April 30th, 2021

Beginning April 30th, 2021, we will discontinue revenue sharing on the following search engines:
• The public URL - a link provided for a Google hosted public page for your engine that hosts both the search box and the search results
• The Google hosted layout, in which only the search results are displayed on a Google-hosted webpage

Search engines that fall into the two above categories will continue to show ads, but no revenue will be shared.

What does this mean for me?
• To continue sharing revenue, you’ll need to use the Search Element deployed on your own site, which will continue to allow for monetization.

I have it active on my blog, which gets around 2k page views every month. Yet, the earnings is not even 2$ a year.

Something must be wrong. I have been waiting to encash from past 8-9 years from Google Ads. Not suitable for this era.

Dear AdSense Publisher,

On 30 August 2023, Google will update Shocking content in the Google Publisher Restrictions to include an exception for gameplay imagery. In the context of gameplay imagery, content is only considered to “contain gruesome, graphic, or disgusting accounts or imagery” or “depict acts of violence” if it depicts acts of torture, sexual violence, violence against minors, violence against prominent real-name persons, or violence against an individual or group on the basis of a characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization.

This update will take effect on 30 August 2023.

Please review the update to determine if it affects your site or app. If your site or app received restricted ad serving previously due to Shocking content but you believe ad serving should no longer be restricted following the update, you may request a review or appeal of your site or app on or after 30 August 2023. Learn more about requesting a review or appeal.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
