About Mediavine
Facts checked October 20, 2026, with links to each network's own pages.
Who Mediavine accepts
Mediavine is a managed ad network, popular with food, travel and lifestyle blogs. Its requirements page asks for at least $5,000 a year in ad revenue for the main program, not a pageview count.
For smaller sites there's Journey by Mediavine, which needs 1,000 sessions in 30 days from the US, Canada, UK or Australia. This calculator doesn't model Journey separately yet.
Because the bar is set in revenue, where your readers are matters a lot. A site with mostly US readers can reach $5,000 a year with far less traffic than a site with a global audience. Try switching Audience geography above and watch the requirement tag in the network ranking.
How Mediavine pays
Mediavine pays on a NET 65 basis, meaning 65 days after the end of the month you earned it. Payments are processed on the first business day of the month, so January's earnings are processed in early April.
How this estimate works
The calculator uses a page RPM of $9.00 for Mediavine with a balanced global audience, adjusted for niche and geography. That's our own estimate: Mediavine doesn't publish average RPMs, and results vary widely by site. The calculator marks Mediavine as "not eligible yet" until your estimated yearly revenue on Mediavine passes $5,000.
How the estimate is built
- Impressions. Traffic × ads shown per user × the network's fill rate. [2]
- eCPM. A base price per 1,000 impressions for each format, adjusted for geography, category, platform and network. [3]
- Revenue. Impressions ÷ 1,000 × eCPM, summed across formats, scaled to days, months and years. Websites use pageviews ÷ 1,000 × RPM. [1]
Sources
Format eCPMs, the geography gap and the iOS/Android gap are set to fall within the ranges in [3], which uses 2024 data, the latest public tables by country. Native eCPMs, category and network multipliers, fill rates and website RPMs are our own estimates: we couldn't find a neutral public source for them. Network entry rules were checked in October 2026 and change often, so confirm them with each network before applying.
