Applying For Google AdSense

Okay so you want to use Google AdSense to generate a passive income for your website. So you just apply get granted an account, then cut and paste the standard code right? Well no that is very wrong. Let me start at the beginning with the right way to apply for an AdSense account. It is as fairly basic procedure but get it wrong and they will turn down your application and your chances of a successful re-application are slim to zero.

So on with the basics of applying for the programme. You will need one of two things to do this, either have a website or a blog with blogger.com.

Firstly to Google content is king it is that simple, so in either case you will need to have some decent content be it on your blog or your website, as an example you can apply for an AdSense account directly from blogger and this route does seem to be the fastest way to get a new account, but you obviously need to have some content on the blog first so if you choose this route then make 8-10 good quality post before applying for the AdSense program. You can do this directly from Blogger under 'Configure blog post' where there is a link to the programme.

Secondly you can do what most people do and apply for it for you website. Now there is a myth that you have to have had a website for a set time before getting approved, it is just that a myth! It is all down to content, if you have had a site for five years but it has no real content as such you will not get approved. Yet if you started a new site three days ago but you have great content that people will find interesting then you will get approved. It really is that simple.

Time for approval? The time it takes to get approved varies but I'm pretty certain that this is only down to demand e.g. if 10,000 apply one week and 100,000 the AdSense team will suffer the same peaks and troughs in their workload as we all do. It can take 5-10 working days, if you have not heard anything after 15 days send them a polite email progressing your application.

So remember 'Content is King' and use the time while you area waiting to hear back on your application to build more great content.

Just remember you can't run AdSense on an adult site, drugs related site, or hate fueled site, oddly nor can you run it on a site just about AdSense.
