We love hearing about your new sites and want to help you get Raptive ads running on them as soon as possible! To get started with Raptive, your new site must have at least 25,000 monthly pageviews. If you are an existing Platinum, Platinum Elite, or Luminary creator, that pageview minimum is waived.
Before you submit your application for an additional site, review the following checklist to ensure the best chance of approval.
Checklist for adding a new site to Raptive

- If you have a registered business name, the business name is listed clearly on the site.
- All your navigation links work correctly
- You have no empty categories or informational pages

You have a good percentage of written content above the fold
- Aim for about 20–25% of your own written content above the fold. This could include your “about me” widget in the sidebar or the preview text for a post.
-
If you’re currently running ads, your ad layout is well-balanced with your content
- Google requires that ads take up less than 30% of the screen, so make sure your content is front and center!
