ScroogeFrog AdNetwork only works with news websites from Latin America.
The ScroogeFrog AdNetwork does not collaborate with websites that receive bot traffic or engage in click-generating tactics of non-human origin. Publishers attempting to boost their earnings through such means will be permanently banned from the ScroogeFrog AdNetwork without reimbursement. There are no restrictions on the number of websites that can be associated with a single publisher account. However, it is against policy to display more ads than the content provided by the publisher.
Restricted website categories include streaming, torrent, and sites with minimal informational content.
Kindly examine the primary factors why the moderation team might decline a website and the necessary steps to successfully pass the moderation process:
Low score
The minimum traffic threshold for partnership with ScroogeFrog AdNetwork is 10,000 unique visitors per day (or 300,000+ visitors per month). If you have met this requirement, please reach out to our managers.Unauthorized downloading of content
ScroogeFrog AdNetwork does not permit websites that promote illegal file, video, program, or game downloads, as well as streaming or torrent-related content. If you have a different type of content website, please add it to your account, and we would be happy to initiate cooperation.The website is unreachable
This indicates that the content is inaccessible due to an error. Please verify the website connection, resolve the issue, and contact our managers via email.Prior fraudulent behavior
Your website's application to join our monetization program was declined due to prior instances of fraudulent activity.

As a result, further collaboration with your existing account is restricted due to the presence of these websites.Content of a pornographic or erotic nature
