How to get adsense approval

After seeing the series of Facebook status and different questions about how to start blogging and how to get Google Adsense without stress, i have decided to write to help new bloggers out there on how they can start blogging and get Adsense for their blog. Call it lesson 101. If you still trying to decide your best platform to blog, read this piece

The article here is going to be different from the "How To Get Adsense Account" you have been used to on the internet, because am writing from experience, and also note that i had been rejected by Google Adsense for more than 10 times before i got the account.  Google had sent so much message to me, they stopped replying me at a stage, i just knew inside me, i had been rejected.

  Google will send a message to you like this.

          

Getting Google Adsense looks like further mathematics at one point, but one thing is clear, with good content and a good looking web page, you will be fine.

Let Us See Google Rule For Getting Google Adsense

Quality Contents : This is the most important thing in getting your Adsense account. If you are not good with writing, trying to get a Adsense account is probably a waste of time. Google is wise enough to know who are writing and who are the people that are just mirror site, copy and paste website.

It is advisable that young bloggers write what they know about, so you will be in your comfort zone. Not just content, you must make sure you have good written English for your writes, too much wrong spellings, or grammatical blunder won't give you Adsense too.

Moreover, Google advises that if your content is not family-friendly, it will be rejected.

Copyrighted Material : The first thing you do the first time you are trying to start your blog is not using copyrighted materials. This will not work for Google Adsense. This can be pictures, contents and other materials on another website.

If you have a blog, use Flickr for images on your website. Most pictures are free on this profile, though some pictures are tagged, "Copyright", don't use such website too. 

You can also use Google images to get free pictures in this simple step :

Search for the image you need

Click on Search tools, and choose Labelled for reuse.

Pictures in this domain are free.

Using an image in this domain is free, or use the pictures that are labelled with reuse and modifications, if you need to edit them. If you use an image with the owner information, make sure you give them credits with a link linking to them, don't act clever about it

On contents issues, do not copy and paste content from one website to yours in the name of sharing links with them. If you are writing about a press release from a public figure, that kind of news is in the public domain, try to write something about the press release, and copy and paste the news on your website.

When Google notice you are the copy and paste publisher, you will not get Adsense approval. Your type of website is called the Mirror website.

                               

Website Design : How does your website looks like? How can people get around your website and not getting lost? A poorly designed website will not get you approval from Mr Google, is that simple. If you are using a theme/template/design, make sure it is good looking to the eyes to get your approval without delay.

Good Kind Of Content: If you are aiming to get Google approval someday, don't write any content that is about alcohol or drugs, adult content, violence.

Use New Gmail Account: If you had been rejected from your old gmail account, i will advise you open a fresh one when your ready to start applying. Apply for a new gmail account. This is the account to use to apply for a new Adsense account.

Some Other Things You Can Do

Privacy Policy: Adding a privacy policy to your website is what is out there, but i had seen a lot of blogs without it and still have their Adsense approved, while some just have a link of privacy policy without content in it and still got approved.

My verdict on privacy policy is you have it to be clear and justified. But then am not sure not having it will hinder the Adsense approval.

Contact Us: A contact us is an important link on your website. You can either create something like write to us at "[email protected]" if you don't want to create a navigation link, it is required to have this on your website.

Things You Should Not Do Before Applying

Paid Traffic: My website was nearly approved until i decided to use a Bing ad coupon my web hosting company gave me. It ruined the whole approval, as google replied that it was not approved because they want publishers to be able to gain organic traffic.

So when i had my new blog, Google sent a promotional 25 USD coupon to use with Adwords, i did not even see it, i just let it go. 

On your new blog, just keep promoting it via different social media and other better ways of promoting your website. Don't try to be smart about it,Google does not need 1000 traffic each day to give you Adsense, i applied for Adsense when i had 100-150 visiting my website and still got approved. So just keep hyping your website/blog, you will get it.

You can use paid traffic later to promote a content later you get Adsense approval, i will advise. Check how to promote content on your website on Google webmaster without affecting Adsense.

 Applying For Adsense After 2 Contents: Applying for Adsense after 2 contents on your blog is a way to tell Adsense you are in it for the money, don't apply for Adsense just yet, take your time before you apply. Do it for the love of writing, i waited 4-6 months after creating my website. 

During those months, I write at least 3 unique contents everyday. I had even forgotten i had planned to apply for Adsense before applying. Taking your mind away from it will help you do your writing better. I was approved and got to know 2 days later. I was expecting for the worst, but instead Google shows me they are for qualities and i was approved.

Note: If you have an old website with contents, you can insert Adsense code into it without having to apply for a new Adsense when one of your web project is approved. Make sure the other website/blog too is Adsense compliance.

Top Level Domain: Report has it Google no longer approves "blogspot" domain, just got to know that now, am yet to confirm how far is true. I will look into this, but you can always have a .Com. 

A top level is just $1 from a lot of hosting companies, and if you are hosting your account , some of these web hosting companies will offer you a name for free. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your web hosting company.

Your Country: Don't apply to Google Adsense if you are from countries like India and China. Google requires that your website is up and running after six months of purchase. So this can hinder you a little bit, but it is also a good way to get contents up and running on your website.

You don't need to buy an Adsense account from anybody, just go through the steps above and have some patience. Google doesn't know anybody and will give you if you abide by their simple rules just like i did. I had applied for seven times and got frustrated, so don't be. Just follow the steps above.

Getting Best Help On Google Adsense: The best spot on the web to get help for Adsense is the Google Adsense product forum. The people here will tends to your needs than any website on the web. They will answer all questions and you can use them as you go along before application.

Remember they are human help, so be patience, and most times, these people don't have the final say on Google approval. I was told twice I won't be approved in harsh tones from that page, Google decision is final and even when i had a problem and was told it will take weeks for google to respond, and might not be approved,Google responded in less than 48 hours and solved it without much ado. Just ask them some do and don't.
