What Is Ezoic and Why Should You Use It?
Ezoic is an advertising platform for website owners. When you join Ezoic, they place ads on your website. When visitors see those ads, you earn money.
Ezoic is different from Google AdSense in several important ways:
- Ezoic pays more. Most website owners earn 50% to 300% more with Ezoic than with AdSense.
- Ezoic accepts any website size. You do not need a minimum number of visitors to apply.
- Ezoic is harder to get banned from. Unlike AdSense, Ezoic rarely suspends accounts without warning.
- Ezoic uses AI to maximize your earnings. It automatically tests different ad placements to find the combination that earns the most money.
If you have a website and want to earn money from it, Ezoic is one of the best places to start.
Before You Start: What You Will Need
Before you begin the application process, make sure you have these things ready:
- Your website address (for example: www.freesolarsolutions.com)
- An email address that you check regularly
- Access to your website's settings (to verify ownership)
- About 30 minutes of uninterrupted time
That is all you need. Ezoic is free to join. You do not need a credit card.
Step-by-Step: How to Apply to Ezoic
Open Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or any other web browser on your computer or phone.
In the address bar at the top of your browser, type ezoic.com and press Enter. You will see the Ezoic homepage.
Look for a large button that says "Get Started Free" or "Start for Free." Click it. This will take you to the signup page.
Type your email address in the field provided. Use an email address that you check regularly, because Ezoic will send important information to this address.
Choose a password for your Ezoic account. Your password should be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of letters and numbers. Write your password down somewhere safe — you will need it to log in later.
Ezoic will send an email to the address you provided. Open that email and click the verification link inside it. This confirms that the email address belongs to you.
If you do not see the email within 5 minutes, check your spam or junk folder.
After verifying your email, you will be asked to enter your website address. Type your full website address, including the www part if your site uses it. For example: www.freesolarsolutions.com or freesolarsolutions.com.
Ezoic needs to confirm that you actually own the website you entered. They will give you several options to do this. The easiest option for most people is to add a small piece of code to your website, or to verify through Google Search Console if you have it set up.
Follow the instructions Ezoic provides for whichever verification method you choose. If you are not sure how to do this, Ezoic has a help section with detailed instructions for each method.
Once you have verified your website, click the button to submit your application. Ezoic will review your website to make sure it meets their requirements.
Ezoic typically reviews new applications within 1 to 3 business days. You will receive an email when your application has been reviewed. Most websites are approved.
If your application is not approved, Ezoic will tell you why. Common reasons include: not enough original content, content that violates their policies, or technical issues with the website. You can fix the issues and reapply.
Once approved, log in to your Ezoic account and follow their setup wizard. The wizard will guide you through placing ads on your website. Ezoic makes this process as simple as possible.
After completing setup, ads will begin appearing on your website within 24 hours. You can log in to your Ezoic dashboard at any time to see how much you are earning.
What to Expect After Approval
Here is what typically happens after your Ezoic account is approved:
- First 30 days: Ezoic's AI is learning about your website and testing different ad combinations. Your earnings may be lower than expected during this period. This is normal.
- After 30 days: Ezoic has gathered enough data to optimize your ads. Your earnings should increase noticeably.
- Ongoing: Ezoic continues to optimize automatically. Your earnings should gradually increase over time as your traffic grows.
How Much Will You Earn?
Your earnings depend on how many visitors your website gets and what type of content you have. Here are some general estimates:
- Under 1,000 monthly visitors: $5–$20 per month
- 1,000–5,000 monthly visitors: $20–$100 per month
- 5,000–10,000 monthly visitors: $100–$300 per month
- 10,000–50,000 monthly visitors: $300–$1,500 per month
- 50,000+ monthly visitors: $1,500+ per month (consider upgrading to Mediavine at this level)
These are estimates only. Your actual earnings may be higher or lower depending on your specific website and audience.
Common Questions
Do I need to remove Google AdSense before joining Ezoic?
No. You can run Ezoic and AdSense at the same time. However, many website owners find that removing AdSense and running only Ezoic results in higher total earnings. You can experiment with both options to see what works best for your website.
Is Ezoic really free?
Yes, the basic Ezoic plan is free. Ezoic earns money by keeping a percentage of the advertising revenue. You keep the rest. There are premium paid plans with additional features, but the free plan is sufficient for most website owners.
When do I get paid?
Ezoic pays monthly, approximately 30 days after the end of each month. The minimum payout is $20. Payment methods include PayPal, check, and direct bank transfer.
What if my application is rejected?
If Ezoic rejects your application, they will tell you why. Common reasons include not enough content on your website, content that violates their policies, or technical issues. Fix the issues they mention and reapply. Most websites that are rejected can be approved after making the recommended changes.
