AdSense API to Require Minimum Pageviews Starting Tomorrow
Google’s officially approved way of doing AdSense Revenue sharing is through the AdSense API. Websites that use the API can allow it’s visitors to sign up for AdSense and create a revenue sharing program. Up until now, anybody could sign up for the program and start using the API. Starting tomorrow, however, only sites that have more than 100,000 page views a month will be able to use the API.
This means that if you have wanted to try out for the API, but have been waiting, don’t wait any longer. If you sing up today you can still use the API even if your site does not get 100,00 page views per month. The following quote is from their information page about the new minimum pageview requirements:
I have not started developing and do not meet the traffic requirements, is there anything I can do?
Run, don’t walk, to the Developer Information Form to register. If you do this before September 13, 2007, you will still be able to submit your implementation for approval, regardless of your traffic. If you do not meet the traffic requirement, you must submit your implementation for review before December 15, 2007.

Google is closing APIs only for new applications. There are small sites which already applied and got approved will continue to use those services. http://www.IndiaStudyChannel.com is a new website which is offering 90% of AdSense revenue share to participating members. It is already approved by Google even though it does not meet the new 100,000 per day page view requirement.
