Site/App Approval

Summary Every new traffic source submitted to DAO.AD is reviewed before it becomes active. The moderation team verifies ownership, traffic quality, content compliance, and technical requirements to ensure the source meets platform policies. Note: Link sources do not require website ownership verification or code installation. They are intended for traffic sources that do not have a dedicated website. Before You Begin Role: Webmaster Required information: Approved Site or Link source Working website or traffic source Correct traffic category Accessible traffic statistics Estimated time: Usually a few minutes (may take longer depending on workload) Approval Process After submitting a new traffic source, DAO.AD performs a moderation review before activation.
