Getting started with AdSense is easy, but when reviewing the applications we get, we've noticed a few common pitfalls. To help make sure your application is approved the first time around, ask yourself the following questions below before submitting.

Do I have what I need to apply?
  • Website: To display Google ads, you need administrative access to the site you submit for AdSense in order to place our JavaScript ad code on your site. Adding the Google code to your site's source code will enable you to show ads, search boxes, and referral units on your pages.

    If you don't have a website of your own, that doesn't mean you can't participate in AdSense. We offer a couple of options to help you easily create your own site.

    First, there's Blogger, a free tool for setting up and publishing your own blog online. With its easy-to-use and customizable templates, you can create an account and start blogging right away. You can also set up AdSense ads easily through your Blogger account.

    If you prefer more flexibility and control, then our web page tool, Page Creator, may be more suitable. Signing up for a Page Creator account is free as well -- all you need is a Gmail account. The best part is that you don't have to download any software or hire a designer. Once you've created your Page Creator site, you can begin displaying Google ads in minutes.
  • Valid payee name: Payments will be made out to the name on your account, so make sure to include your full and valid name, or that of your business, rather than just initials. If banks won't accept the name you enter in the 'Payee Name' field, neither will we.
  • Valid address: We want to make sure your hard-earned money reaches you, so please also provide a complete valid address where you can receive mail. If you live in a country or territory that doesn't have a standard format for addresses, please be sure that your application includes as much information as a mailman would need to find your residence.
Does my website meet all the necessary requirements?
  • Valid URL: If you manage an entire website, give us the URL of your home page. If you manage a blog or other account within a larger website, you should provide the URL of the specific page that you manage and not the URL of the entire hosting website. Don't forget to double check your URL for typos!
  • Fully launched website: Since we won't be able to review websites that are not fully launched or built, please ensure that your site is live and functioning at the time you submit your application.
  • Unique content: We want visitors to sites in the AdSense network to have a good experience, so please publish content that's interesting and unique. Avoid using "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other cookie cutter approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content. If you're participating in an affiliate program, give people a reason to visit your site first.
  • Supported language: We're constantly working to provide targeted, relevant ads in more languages. However, until then, we can only approve your application if the majority of your website is in one of our supported languages.
  • Pay-To Sites: If your site participates in programs that compensate people to perform activities that drive traffic to you, we can't approve your application. Some examples of these "pay-to" programs are sites that encourage users "to click" or "to surf" or "to read email." In addition, you shouldn't encourage others to join these programs in the content, links, or third-party ads on your site.
We also encourage you to read our program policies in detail for further insight on how to create a successful application. Now that you have all the necessary information, now's a good time to apply.

Top 8 Reasons Why your Blog is not Approved by Google AdSense?
Hello friends,

we all know that what AdSense is and why every blogger wants to get into it. AdSense is the Best source for bloggers to monetize their blogs.

Well, but AdSense does not approves everybody because of its TOS and it looks at all the websites submitted for approval very deeply before approving.

Many newbies just starts off a blog and try to apply for AdSense but gets disapproved because of some small mistakes that they don't think that are big but later they get to know that it is not that easy to get approved and even some of them leaves blogging.

So, Today I'm going to tell you what are the reasons that AdSense is not accepting you into their program.

Recommended :- 3 Best Ways To Get AdSense Account Approval

Top reasons Why AdSense is not Accepting Your Request

  1. Copied Images :- This is being a common things to disapprove applications by Google AdSense because if you have copied some images from Google image Search then Google will disapprove your application stating "Sites Does not Comply With AdSense Policies". So, I recommended you to add only those images which are made originally by you. Well I understand that every blogger is not a designer itself so you can post your posts without adding images. Once you are approved then if you copy images from Google image then it does not matters.
  2. Too much Ad networks :- This can be a big cause for getting your AdSense disapproved because if you already have too much advertising networks already on your site then there is no chance that AdSense will give even the first approval to you. So, If you want to get approved you must remove all the ad networks when applying for AdSense. So that these things do not come between to approve your AdSense account. One more thing if you have added any ad-fly website entry script or any other script then that is highly recommended to remove it before applying for Google Adsense.
  3. Less Number of Posts :- Well as said in the starting of post bloggers just starts their blog and try to apply for AdSense and gets disapproved and AdSense stats the problem as "Insufficient Content". So, you must have around 10 genuine written posts on your blog so that AdSense might approve you. If you have less posts then 10 then it might be difficult for you to get approved.
  4. Domain Type and Age :- Well, If you are using blogspot blogs and don't have it older then 6 months then it proved to be difficult for you to get approved. Even with 6 month old blogspot blogs it is much harder to get an AdSense account approved. So you must buy an .com domain for your blog. With .com domains there is no need for your domain to be 6 months old.
  5. Blog Content :- Yeah, your blog content matters more than anything else. So you must have genuine posts on your blog that are originally written by you else you won't be approved because you might have heard that Content is the king. So you must have genuine content on your blog to get approved.
  6. Age Verification :- You should be above 18 years to apply for Google AdSense. So before applying for Google AdSense make sure that you are shown as 18 years or older in your Google+ profile else you won't get approved by Google AdSense. If you are not 18 years old and wants to get an AdSense then you must have the payee name of your Father or any body else that totally depends on you.
  7. Address not Formatted Correctly :- If you have not filled your address correctly while applying for Google AdSense then do not think that you will get approved because AdSense also takes the address of the users because the payment of your AdSense account will be send to your address that you fill. So fill out your address correctly when applying for AdSense.
  8. Traffic :- Traffic plays an major role for you to get approved you must have around 50 page-views/day to get approved. Well sometime AdSense also approves the sites with less traffic but only sometime so be on the safer side and have some good traffic before applying. This will increase the chances of getting approved.

So friends above were the tip that you should follow in order to get approved from Google AdSense. Well, do tell us your views about getting AdSense account approval in the comments section below. ;)



I first applied to Google Adsense back in 2005 or 2006.  Since that time, I have applied and gotten approved many times for related business entities or helping others set up their own Google Adsense accounts.  Each time, my applications have been approved to start using the Google Adsense program, so I feel like I can offer some solid advice on how to make sure you get your own approved account.
Now, if you have been following my blog, you know that I had a bit of a set back with Google Adsense, but I am now actively using Google Adsense as though nothing happened.  The reality is that Google Adsense is the best contextual marketing program on the market with the most advertisers and the highest payouts.  I love the Adsense program and definitely recommend those involved with niche websites to at least get started with Adsense.

Doesn’t Everyone Get Approved?

To be honest, its shocking to hear how many people get declined from Google Adsense when they apply.  I’ve received many emails from readers saying that their applications were declined.  I’ve read complaints on forums or comments about the difficulty of getting approved with Google.
I personally have never experienced this.  But I’ve also been very careful when I apply.  Below you will find the process I have used to apply and get approved to Google Adsense.

Steps to Getting Approved

In a nutshell, there are 5 steps to applying and getting approved to the Adsense affiliate program.
1. Create a Valuable and Good Looking Site
Google wants to know that you have an valuable resource!  So, in order to increase your chances of approval, you need to create original, articulate, and useful content!  This should go without saying for any website; however, I can guarantee you that people have applied to Google Adsense with autoblogs, or copied articles from EzineArticles.com.  Then they wonder why they didn’t get approved.
My advice is to have at least 10 well-written articles of 500 words or more each on your site before applying.  In addition, I would have a great “About Page”, “Contact” page, and a “Privacy Policy” page.  The privacy policy needs to include this information supplied by Google here.  You can find a free privacy policy generator that I have used right here.
In addition, you are more likely to get approved if you have a great looking theme or site.  I recommend using a premium theme (if using WordPress) if possible.  You can still use a free theme, but do your best to find one that looks high quality.
Finally, to give your site an extra boost on the “look” score, I recommend having a logo designed.  You can do it yourself, or you can hire someone on Fiverr.com if you are cheap (like me).  For $5 you can take a generic theme and make it look much nicer with a custom logo.
Overall, make sure that your site is fully developed with content, logo, layout changes BEFORE you submit the site to Google.
Quick Tip!  Remember, you CANNOT apply to Google Adsense using a site that has ever been used for Google Adsense before.
2. Apply Online
You can apply online to Google Adsense right here.  Here you will supply your website URL, Individual name or Business Entity, contact name (you if applying for yourself; could be someone different if you are applying as a business entity), mailing address, phone number, email address, and perhaps one other basic bit of information.  You are not required to submit your TIN or bank account information at this stage yet.  This will happen after you get approved.

Make sure to give accurate phone and physical address information. You will be REQUIRED to verify your phone number and they will mail you a PIN to the address you supplied.  However, this does not occur until step 4.
The online application itself only take a few minutes to fill out.
3. Get Temporarily Approved and Place Ads
Approval usually occurs within 24 to 48 hours now.   If you follow my steps above for creating  a unique site that has never been involved with Google Adsense before, you should have no issues getting approved quickly.
At that point, you will receive an approval email from Google that explains the process.  Essentially you are “temporarily” approved until you meet other verification steps.
This means you can start placing ads on your site and you will see the clicks and revenue coming into your account.  Google is simply monitoring your activity to make sure you are not clicking your own ads or sending suspicious traffic.  As long as you leave your ads alone and don’t do anything suspicious – you should be fine.
In addition, you can also add the Google Adsense code to ANY of your other websites!  You don’t have to apply for each new site.  Once you have any approved account, you can use the same Adsense code on all your sites.
4. Getting Verified: Pin Verification, Bank Account and Tax Information, Phone Number
However, before you get paid, you need to verify a few things.  First, Google will send you a PIN verification in the mail.  This will come after a week to 10 days usually.

There is no rush, but at some point you will need to verify your bank account and submit your tax information.  The bank account must be in the same name that you applied with.  (So, if you applied with your business entity, the bank account must be for the business entity).
To get paid by ACH (the best way), you need to supply your bank account number and routing number.  Then Google will do a test deposit of a few cents.  You will then input this amount in your Google Adsense account to finish the verification.  Then you can start getting paid monthly!
You will also need to supply your TIN number and complete the necessary tax documents (this is all handled online by Google and only takes a couple of minutes).
If you haven’t previously verified your phone number, you will need to do so.  Google will place a test call with an automated code to you.  Input the code, and you are good to go!
5. Be Smart with Your Ads
Finally, be smart about how you handle your Adsense code.  Only put it on sites that meet the Google Adsense guidelines here.  Don’t click your own ads and NEVER ask anyone else to ever click your own ads!  This will get your account shut down.
Overall, stay in compliance with Google and enjoy the deposits coming to your account each month.

In Conclusion

These are the exact steps that I have used many times to get myself, my business entities, or the accounts of others approved to Google Adsense.  On the surface, they are fairly straightforward; but trust me, lots of people never get approved.
This could be for a number of reasons ranging from low quality content, to suspicious activity.  But if you follow the 5 steps that I’ve outlined here, you should get approved without any issues.
Have anything to add to the discussion?  I’d love to hear your thoughts below.



Get Google Adsense approval within 3 days:

Before applying for Google Adsense, make sure to follow these points. Everything counts, including your blog/site layout, content, number of posts, SEO metrics, back-links, other required metrics and etc. Every single one of them will play a important role in getting Adsense approved. Check out the most important requirements one should follow before applying for Adsense.
Minimum Posts/Articles/Pages:
If you are applying for Adsense for a WordPress blog, you should maintain a minimum of 40 quality posts/articles. And if it’s any other website (html, Joomla), try to maintain a minimum of 30 pages. Every article is considered to be a page in your site. So consider this as your major requirement and proceed implementing further requirements.
Google Analytics Code:
You need to install a Google Analytics code on your website. To do this, just login to Google Analytics and click on Admin where you can see “+ New Account” under Accounts tab. Click on New Account and enter your website name, url and other details. Click on Get Tracking ID and paste it in your site.
Google Webmasters Verification Page:
Next you need to apply for a Google Verification Page. To do this, login to Google Webmaster Tools  and click on “Add a Site” and Enter your site URL. Verify your ownership by any one of the following methods and get a conformation.
Bing Webmaster Verification Page:
Bing Webmaster Tools  is very similar to Google Webmaster Tools. You can follow the same procedure here and verify your ownership. In Bing webmaster tools, you need to apply even your website sitemap page. I will tell you how to add that below.
Sitemap.xml Page: 
Your site should have a Sitemap.xml page, so that search engines can index your site links and pages quickly. To create a sitemap, just install the Google XML Sitemaps (WordPress) and create a sitemap.
Robots.txt
You need to create a robots.txt file in your site. No matter if it’s a WordPress site or any other CMS based, you need to have a robots.txt file. This file will tell the search engines, what to index and what not to. You can check SEOSiren robots.txt file for clear idea. To create a sitemap, just open your hosting cpanel, click on File Manager, and select your site folder to open it. Once opened, you can create a file and name it as robots.txt. You can enter the basic commands to restrict search engines to over crawl you site.
Alexa Rank:
A lot of people disagree with this statement. But still your site should have a decent Alexa ranking to get adsense approved. Even if your site doesn’t have a decent Alexa rank, you can still apply. But make sure your site rankings are atleast under 400k. Else the chances are quite less to be taken into consideration.
Additional Pages:
Your site should have a Privacy Policy page, Disclaimer page, and Terms of use page. You need to clearly mention what is your site about, and how it is useful for people.
Own Email ID:
If you have your own domain and hosting, its better to apply Adsense via domain email ID. Which means, instead of example@gmail.com, you can apply with example@domain.com. Just like satish@seosiren.com or admin@seosiren.com.
Decent Traffic: 
Your site should have a minimum of 50+ visitors per day. Please don’t be in a hurry to apply adsense without  having consistent traffic. And even if you follow all the above mentioned requirements without consistent traffic, your account will not be approved.
These are the most effective ways to get Google Adsense approval within 3 days. I hope your Adsense account will be approved. Drop us a line if you have any queries related to Adsense approval.  Stay tuned to SEOSiren for more!
