How to Get a Google AdSense Premier Account (2026 Update)
Big publishers once got special treatment from Google: custom ad sizes, custom fonts and colours, dedicated account managers and better revenue terms. In 2010 we looked at how to get a Google AdSense Premier account, the invitation-only service for the top AdSense earners. A lot has changed since. Here’s what Premier was, what large publishers use instead in 2026, and how to grow toward it.
Quick answer: You can’t apply for an AdSense Premier account. Google invited only its highest-earning, highest-quality publishers to premium account management. Today, publishers who outgrow AdSense usually move to Google Ad Manager (free up to an impression threshold), Ad Manager 360 for very large sites (ask a Google account manager), or work with a Google Certified Publishing Partner for access to Ad Exchange demand.

What was AdSense Premier?
In 2005 we wrote that AdSense premium accounts offered special benefits, like customised revenue terms, flexible ad formats and special code tags. Eligibility then was more than 5 million search queries or 20 million content page views a month. By 2010 Google described AdSense Premier as dedicated account management for its highest earners: many were in the top 1% of AdSense publishers, among the largest 100 sites in their market, or big brands with high advertiser demand.
The screenshot above, from EzineArticles in 2010, shows a premium ad unit packed with about ten text links, something regular publishers couldn’t create.
Could you apply?
No. Google said criteria included high site quality, high traffic and policy compliance, plus other factors, and that eligible publishers would be contacted by an AdSense representative. Regular publishers simply had to grow and wait for an invitation.
What large publishers use in 2026
Many of the old Premier perks are now available to everyone or have moved to other Google products:
- Custom sizes for all: any AdSense publisher can create custom AdSense ad sizes or use responsive and Auto ads.
- Google Ad Manager: a free ad server for growing sites, with more control over direct deals and multiple demand sources. A paid account is required past a certain impression level.
- Ad Manager 360: the paid enterprise version with direct Google support and advanced features. According to Ad Manager Help (external site), you contact your account manager if you’re interested.
- Google Certified Publishing Partners: companies certified by Google that help mid-size and large publishers access Ad Manager and Ad Exchange demand and optimise revenue.
How to grow toward premium status
- Build steady, high-quality traffic and original content.
- Keep a clean policy record in AdSense.
- Improve page speed and user experience; don’t overload pages with ads.
- Diversify income with direct sponsors and affiliate programs.
- When AdSense limits you, talk to a certified publishing partner about Ad Manager.

Does Adsense premier account tends to have high CPC ?
it would great to have a Adsense premier account but their criteria is too long
Can we apply for premier account through emails??
I was not knowing about such adsense ads. Unfortunately i am very far away for these types of ads. Wish soon be able to apply them.
I can’t apply for Adsense Premium account now, am still new is this business
It seems that Google is set to please its premium publisher. Is there any publisher who got the invite?
Nice post..You have rightly said. There are lots of advantages of having premium Adsense account. This is kind of dream come true moment for any normal Adsense publisher to have premium account.
The terms for Google AdSense Premier accounts are relaxing now. Recently i have seen a site with alexa rank 20,000 and Page Rank 2 start showing Premier ads.
May its the visitors and the traffic on the site which they consider. And it will be anyone’s wish to have Google Premier Ads
I think It will be nice if we get a premier google adsense account.
Yaa, Its true you must have good traffic and good earning from AdSense. I think if Google provide Adsense premier account to everyone then we can get earning from Adsense customization. Because current Ads customization if not enough for better earning. I hope Google AdSense add some more premier like features for normal users.
I knew it but it is not o easy, Your website must have a lots of hits per day. No body can say he is certified or have a special account. I am little bit doubtful
Some of the most horrible sites on the net that Google claims to have targeted in their latest algorithm change happen to be the sites w/ their highest paying adsense program.

there seems to be a lot of fuss in getting adsense, as if geting an adsense account was not difficult enough ,we have adsense premier account!! nice post though….informative piece!
This post is very useful yet useless for me. I’m only a newbie blogger who hasn’t earned anything off adsense yet. I hope one day I’ll be eligible for this Premium ad as well.
This is great but will take time for a Blogger getting there, Patience and Persistence!
is it real? hard to believ. but i will try it. thanks.
I think Google should give the advanced customization features for all the publishers, so that they can have flexibility in publishing the ads which helps them in increasing their ad revenue.
Any one there who can guide me in details that How i can get create a free account of the google adsense.
Adsense premier?? i first time hear about it

Thanks for this information. Are you planning to choose Adsense Premier Account?
only if they give the option to choose :) ….
I wish we could. But your site should be huge and very popular to get selected.
I am not targeting for the Adsense Premium now but surely one day I will get it.
All the best for your blog to :)
awesome , i was always wondering what kind of ads are those . But they get only text formatting of their choice and no. of links …
And flexible ad sizes to whatever you want. A dedicated account manager maybe… :-)
this is good information, din’t really notice something like that before. Thanx!
To get google adsense premier account all we need is just big earning, big traffic and big brand name, huh.. when it’s be me ?
are some blogger have it too?
or it is only for big webmaster/company with brand name?
Some top bloggers have Adsense Premier accounts.
I think it would be great to have a Premier Account but it seems their eligibility criteria is too difficult to fulfill.
Well, that is for websites with PR9 like ezinearticles, hubpages and the likes.
Good to know anyway.
I have seen it live on PR6 websites many times.
Interesting, informative but useless for publisher like me.
Can never satisfy this eligibility criteria !
Yet, first time come to know about Premier Adsense Account.
So in simple words: There is no specified rule for Adsense premier account and one has to wait for long before they qualify for this….
And do you mean adsense team will contact you if your account is qualified for Adsense P account or you have to send them an Email for the same??
It seems they will contact you when the time is right.
