Conditions for Collaboration with AfricaMediaPro for Resellers (GAM) with Online Publisher Clients
1. Introduction
At AfricaMediaPro (AMP), we are committed to ensuring that all of our partners—whether they are local African publishers or international publishers—operate in alignment with Google’s policies and uphold the highest standards of digital advertising. To maintain transparency, trust, and compliance, we have set specific requirements for resellers and their online publisher clients to prevent fraud, abuse, and non-compliance with Google Ad Manager policies. Below, we explain our reasoning and outline the conditions for working with AfricaMediaPro as a MCM.
2. Why We Have Set These Requirements
AMP works closely with publishers to help them expand their reach and increase revenue from digital advertising. Without clear standards, there is a risk of misuse of Google’s advertising platforms, which can lead to account suspensions or even permanent bans. These requirements are designed to protect both our resellers and the publishers they serve from the risks of non-compliance with Google’s rules. This is essential for maintaining a secure and compliant advertising ecosystem, allowing all parties to benefit from sustainable growth and protection.
