O.K so you would like to use Google AdSense to generate a passive revenue for your site. So you just apply get granted an account, then cut and paste the standard code right? Well no that’s very inaccurate. Let me start at the beginning with the correct way to sign up for an AdSense account. It is as reasonably basic process but get it wrong and they’ll turn down your request and your odds of a successful re-application are slim to zero.

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

Firstly to Google content is king it is that straightforward, so in both cases you will need to have some decent content be it on your blog or your web site, as an example you can sign up for an AdSense account directly from blogger and this route does seem to be the fastest technique to get a new account, but you clearly have to have some content on the blog first so if you choose this route then make 8-10 high quality post before trying for the AdSense program. You can do this without delay from Blogger under ‘Configure blog post’ where there is a link to the programme.

Secondly you can do what the general public do and apply for it for you web site. Now there’s a myth that you’ve got to have had a site for a set time before getting licensed, it is simply that a myth! It’s all down to content, if you’ve had a site for 5 years but it has no real content as such you won’t get authorized. Yet if you started a new site a few days back but you have great content that folk will find engaging then you will get approved. It really is that simple.

Time for approval? The time it uses to get licensed varies but I’m pretty certain that this is only down to demand e.g. If ten thousand 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 fifteen 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 claim 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.
