Google AdSense is one of the best ad networks to monetize a website or a blog. It is 90% better than any other CPC advertising programs. It offers the publishers the highest CTR for every web page. The publishers could make lots of revenue daily from Google Adsense. Every new webmaster has a dream to monetize his website with this ad network. But unfortunately, many of them fail. Adsense has introduced some strict rules and requirements. It seems hard to get Adsense approval for our own blog. But, we know impossible is nothing.
The good news is “Getting Approval of Google AdSense with a New Blog is Now Really Easy”, if you follow some basic rules from the starting of your blog. When I first tried, I failed to get approval. But, following these rules, now I have an approved AdSense account. Thinking about this topic, I made a decision to share the basic rules of AdSense.
First Ready Your Blog Before Applying for Adsense:
Adsense moderators always approve those blogs whose have met up the requirements. First of all, you should make your blog ready for this process. Check first if your blog considers these requirements. Now, there are some initial basic requirements announced by AdSense team, and there are some known hacks and tricks that work. For example, on this official page it’s mentioned that for countries like China & India, publishers need to own the site for minimum 6 months, which is not a thumb-rule. Many Indian bloggers have got approval with one-month-old domain. The only thing which really matter here is “Quality”. Let’s look at factors which will make your blog AdSense ready:
Write High-Quality Contents:
A writing proverb “Content is King” helps you understand this requirement. A high-quality blog is identified with the high-quality contents. Great contents mean unique, decorated, stated and clear concerted content. Some black hat webmasters say, copy paste content only between 100-200 words is enough. But, I may assure him that his journey to Adsense will be certainly finished. I think, how a blog post or content could be only between 100-200 words? In my judgment, it is not possible to completely describe a topic within 100-200 words. And if copy paste content is enough, anybody can declare him as a blogger. Please keep in mind, Google AdSense doesn’t approve blogs with copy pasted copyright content. A well-optimized blog post should be 100% unique and above 500-600 words. So, always write blog post above this limit and it must be unique which clearly determinate the post topic.
Optimize Blog Post with Meta Tags and Make It Search Engine Friendly:
Optimize your unique blog post with Meta Title and Description Tag. The meta tags describe what the content is about to the crawler bots. It is not possible for AdSense editorial board to check every single website that has applied to get AdSsense approval. So, positively they will use their crawler bots. The bots will check for every footprint on your blog. That’s why you should make sure; you have specified these tags with appropriate information.
Please keep in mind that your Meta Title should be between 69 characters (including spaces), and Meta Description should be between 156 characters (including spaces). If you are using platform like WordPress or Blogger, here are two guides which will cover all basic SEO requirements:
Have Sufficient Contents or Posts:
You must lead sufficient contents or posts on every page and category. In total, you should have 15-30 blog posts on your whole blog. This is not an official declaration. But, I recommend everybody to at least have it. So, you should have at least 3-4 posts in every category, tag and page. Google Adsense told that we must have sufficient contents in every single web page. So, we should add contents in all pages and categories. There shouldn’t be any blank page without any content. And these posts have to pass the minimum length of 500-600 words as it is the best blog post length. The more you increase the length, the more you go towards to get Google Adsense approval.
Blog Domain Must Old At least 6 Months:
As I mentioned above, in certain countries like India and China, there is a requirement for 6 months for the domain to apply for AdSense. Here is official statement from AdSense team:
In some locations, including China and India, we require publishers to have owned their sites for 6 months. We’ve taken this step to ensure the quality of our advertising network and protect the interests of our advertisers and existing publishers.
Some blog domain could get approved having less old than six months. Even, I got my Adsense account with just two-month-old domain. Can you imagine? But, the average domain age for certain geo-location should be six months.
Apply Using Root Domain:
You should always apply using the root domain like yourdomain.com. Not blog.yourdomain.com.
Be Serious to Choose Content Images:
Google Adsense doesn’t approve blogs if they lead to copyrighted contents. Copyrighted means the things that have been copied from others directory without their permission. And we make fault every time when choosing an image. Some people just go to an image directory, take their suitable images and upload these on their blogs. Did they ever check if they have permission to use these? The really sad news is that, most of the webmasters who fail to get Adsense because of this copyrighted law. And this is really caused by copyrighted images. Here are guides which will help you to find images for free:
Lead a Nice design and Blog Structure:
Blog structure is the basic structure of your blog. So, make sure that you have a nice looking header, content area, sidebar, footer, etc. Always think if the visitors will like the structure. If people like it, Adsense would definitely like it. The first impression of any blog comes with blog design, and you can take advantage of any professional looking templates (free or paid), and use it on your blog.
Check if Your Blog is Not Blocked by Google:
Be sure that, your blog is not blocked by Google. Because Adsense will check your blog statistics on their search engine. Don’t know how to check it? Just search for “site:yourdomain.com” on Google. If you find out search results, your blog is not blocked. But, if you not, it is blocked.
Don’t Have Adsense Prohibited Content:
Adsense has directly told that, sites with adult contents, copyrighted contents, drug alcohol-related contents, hacking cracking contents, violent contents, weapons related contents and other illegal contents will not be approved.
Visitors Are Not a Factor for Approval Yet:
For getting Adsense approved, visitors are not a factor. Because you will get approved depending on your blog quality. It is sure that the Adsense moderator will never check for visitor count. So, don’t worry about visitors. But, for generating revenues, you must have enough visitors.
Here is one video where Harsh talked about getting AdSense approval:
Applying for Google Adsense:
If you follow all the above mentioned tips, you are most likely to get your AdSense application approval at first go. But, before you apply for the same, here are two articles that you should definitely refer to:
- Changes in Approved AdSense host partner site accounts
- Google AdSense new account approval application process
And once you are ready, read this guide to apply for an AdSense account. Do let me know if you have any particular question related to AdSense approval, and I would love to answer them. If you enjoyed reading this article, don’t forget to share it on Facebook and Google plus.
Hey Abrar , nice article it will help those who are trying hard to approve their adsense account ..
But i had found that now there is no or Some age limit required to get approved any popular domain in adsense. Previous Minimum age 6 Month required to get approved! But i seen my friends approved their adsense account within one month . And Its True .
Adsense will approve your blog if it is popular enough and getting good ammount of traffic.
But incase if you use Copy/Paste content then forget about adsense ! Content must be good enough to get approved !

I have applied for my blog, but not approving … , When I am trying to create then it display as ‘Account Disabled’. I have try with different mail-id too. Then also I got same …
Did you have any account that has been banned from Adsense? If you broke your Adsense policies, your Adsense account could be disabled. As you are talking about a new account, I think Adsense has disapproved your previous applications and could trace your IP address. Try to apply with a different IP address and with a different address. And your Google account should be different that didn’t used to apply for Adsense.
One of the best knowledgebase article I have ever found. Thanks for the share.
Thank you…!!!
Hiii Abrar,
thanks for sharing a informative post with us. i am looking for apply a Google Adsense and for that i have read many article but finally i found a detailed and impressive Article on this topic. i am feeling very happy because i have read this article on my favorite Blog Shoutmeloud. thanks again Abrar….!!
Thank you Amit. I hope, you will get your own Google Adsense account soon.
I’ve Google Adsense account for 1 of my blogspot blog. Now I want to use it on few of my wordpress blogs . What are the requirements to post adsense ads on my other blogs with same publisher id? As of my knowledge Google doesn’t allow multiple adsense accounts to single person.
What is your Adsense account type? Hosted or non? I think your blogspot has hosted adsense account. There is a criteria, if you want to use your blogspot adsense ads on your own websites, you have to first apply for it. If they approve, you could use it on any website that meets Adsense requirements. On the other hand, if you own your personal adsense account, you could implement it on any of websites. Adsense doesn’t approve multiple accounts for single person. So, they allow one user to put his code on multiple websites without applying again for them. But, you must check if the websites consider these criterias.
this may be silly but i have one doubt.. what if the image was used( in a site ) which edited in Photoshop, which was actually taken from conventional google image search .. does its has any copy rite issues … say for example .. just download a hugh jackman image ( like wolverine ) from google image search and its was modified using Photoshop. so is that far to use that image on my site … does that affects the adsense approval , if yes how ??
I think, using images in this method will be safe for you. Because, after you download an image, you have to give much efforts to customize it. So, the credit goes to you. However, it is best to download an image from copyright free websites. Do you know “Creative Commons” is one of the best copyright free image provide. As your question, you can use the edited images but be sure to check the websites first where from you are getting the images.
Great post bro but what if i had already applied for adsense and got rejected on my blog do these steps will help me in that case???
Hello abrar
all Points Mentioned is enough to Get approved from adsense. But i Want to say one Thing That, in Some Cases Domain Age is Not Consider in Approving adsense. i Have seen Many Websites Which gets Approved within 3 or 4 months.
Thanks for Sharing Other Usefull Tips for approving Adsense 🙂
As I mentioned, the domain age depends upon the country where you are from. Now Google is so smart to find out the quality websites. There is an official annoucement, “A blog domain age must be atleast 6 months to get approved on Adsense”. However they don’t apply this policy strictly. The fast approval depends upon the quality of websites. A 1 month aged blog could also get adsense approval as well as sometimes a 1 year old domain could not. So, it totally depends how a webmaster running his website. I also mentioned that I got my adsense account with a 2 month old domain staying from Bangladesh.
When you say in tittle that how to get approved with NEW blog, in the content you say it should take at least 6 months before applying, how does that co-relate with NEW blog? No offences 🙂
I included in the title “With a New Blog” because I got my own adsense approved account within just 2 month of the starting. However, the declared domain age is 6 months ( declared by Google), it doesn’t matter too much. But, the country matters where you are from. So, as I got my account within 2 months from Bangladesh, I made the decision to include new blog on title.
Thanks Abrar for sharing this useful article, this inspires new bloggers to write quality articles and get recognized as a good blogger in India. Adsense is the best monetization program by google and every blogger should go for it.
Thanks Again
Yes, Adsense is the recommended advertising network of all time. Every new webmaster has a dream to employ it on his own website.
hello sir nice post. but i am not agree with your the point “blog domain should be 6 month old” i got domain on 5 oct 2012 and get approval on 7 nov 2012. the thing is that our website should be 6 month old not domain. nice post for all who do not have adsense. one more tip if you have disapproved adsense account then just sign up with all different information and you will get your account approved. 🙂 i have 2-3 disapproved accounts. but finally i got one. keep going.
You are right Rohit. Google Adsense didn’t clarify the topic. But, in their official announcement, they declared the domain minimum age should be at least 6 months to get approved. That is why the announcement has been included in the post. Even, I have also mentioned in the post that I have got my own Adsense account with a 2 month old domain. So, there isn’t any strict age limit. That depends on a website quality.
And yes, already disapproved users should try with new information. But, the address should be 100% real because of address verification process on the first payment.
exactly because they will send mail. also if possible make sure that u should add address which is having your address because when you will not get pin then you will need to add your address proof. so keep these things in mind only. have fun 🙂 =D
Yes, that’s right..
