Google Advertisement in Chrome Extension

[Jack Lee]

Hi all,

I have a quick question.

Does Google Advertisement can be displayed in Chrome Extension?

Is there any way to put advertisement in the Chrome Extension to accomplish monetization?

Thanks!

The last time I looked into this the answer I got was basically "no, you can't show Google ads in a browser extension but you can use other ad services." I've been trying to verify that information by reading the Google AdSense and AdMob policies, but the language is unclear at best.

Could a Googler look into this?

Hi Jack,

You cannot place Google AdSense in a Chrome extension. AdSense requires an online HTTPS website with content on the page to function. If you want to earn money from AdSense, you should place ads on your website using autoAds or custom banners on your pages. And write content about the functionality of your new browser extension.

For more information see this Chrome Web Store Program Policies page:

Thanks,
