What Journey by Mediavine is
Journey opened Mediavine's ad management to smaller publishers. Where full Mediavine asks for 50,000 sessions per month, Journey starts at roughly 10,000 — a threshold a focused niche site can reach in its first year. Publishers get Mediavine's ad stack and optimisation without the traffic requirement, in exchange for a lower revenue share than the flagship program.
For anyone researching where to take a growing site next, the useful question is not what Mediavine claims but what kind of sites actually run Journey. That is what this list answers.
Requirements
- Roughly 10,000 sessions per month, versus 50,000 for full Mediavine
- Original written content — Journey is aimed at blogs, not tools or directories
- Good standing with Google Publisher Policies
- Primarily English-language traffic from tier-one countries
What publishers typically earn
Reported RPMs cluster around $8–$20 per thousand sessions, varying enormously by niche and season. Food, home and finance sit at the top; entertainment and general-interest content sit well below. Q4 lifts every number, and January takes it back.
How we detect Journey
Detection is based on a site's live ad configuration rather than any claim it makes. We look for Mediavine's tag script (scripts.mediavine.com/tags/) in the rendered page, and for mediavine.com entries in the site's ads.txt file, which publishers must host for programmatic demand to bid. Both are public by design — ads.txt exists precisely so that anyone can verify who is authorised to sell a site's inventory.
A site appears here only when a signature matched on a real crawl, with the date it was last confirmed. Sites that drop the network are marked removed rather than silently deleted, so the list reflects reality instead of history.
Frequently asked questions
How many websites use Journey by Mediavine?
Our current verified list contains thousands of live Journey sites, refreshed on a rolling crawl. The exact count is shown at the top of this page and updates as sites join and leave the network.
What is the difference between Journey and Mediavine?
Journey is the entry-level program, starting at roughly 10,000 sessions a month. Full Mediavine requires about 50,000 sessions and pays a higher revenue share. Journey is designed as the on-ramp to it.
How do you know these sites use Journey?
Every listing is verified from the site's own public ad configuration: the Mediavine tag script on the live page and mediavine.com entries in its ads.txt file. We never rely on self-reported data or directory submissions.
How often is the list updated?
The dataset is re-crawled on a rolling basis. Each row carries the date it was last verified, and sites that leave the network are flagged as removed rather than deleted.
Can I download the full list?
Pro subscribers can export filtered results to CSV, subject to a monthly cap. The cap exists to keep the dataset a research tool rather than a redistribution source.
