Update: I updated This article in August 2022 with the new AdSense account approval process.
It’s pointless to mention again that AdSense is one of the best contextual advertising networks. Until now, the AdSense approval process was simple: You create a new AdSense account, your account is reviewed, The AdSense team accepts your application, and you can implement ads on your site and start making money.
From now on, AdSense has changed the AdSense approval process and made this easy for new publishers.
Here is the new account AdSense approval process:
- Ensure your website is compatible with AdSense
- Sign up for an AdSense account
- Add the AdSense code on your website
- AdSense team review and approve/reject your website in 2-3 days
- AdSense team will ask you to verify your identity
- Add Payment information to get paid (Payment threshold is $100)
Once you add the code on your blog, that will show blank ads. Here is a video that shows how to create your first AdSense ad unit:
In a typical scenario, it would take 48 hours to review your application. Once your application is approved, it would start showing ads on your blog & you will start making money.
Here is the process for AdSense approval:
- Register for an AdSense account by going to AdSense.com. Provide all the correct information about your Name, Address, and Website URL.
- Login to your AdSense account, and create AdSense codes. Place the codes in your blog sidebar.
- Ads will show as blank until the final approval process doesn’t finish. It may take up to 2 weeks for approval. Make sure you don’t remove the ads.
- After the final AdSense approval, you will get a confirmation email.
- Once your AdSense earning reaches $10, AdSense will mail you a PIN to your address.
- Login to your AdSense account, and enter the Pin once you receive it.
- Congrats you have completed all the steps. Once your account reaches $100, Google will send you or wire your earning. I recommend you to enable direct bank transfer for AdSense payments.
Though this will certainly help in domain ownership verification and moreover those who are signing up using someone else website, might find it tough to get into AdSense. If they still reject your account, it’s time to try out AdSense alternatives.
Have you signed up for AdSense recently? How was your experience with the new AdSense approval process?
Here is a video that will help you in adding AdSense codes on your WordPress blog.

Hello Harsh, I just started following your blog and I must say it’s very educative. I have read all your posts regarding adsense and i think my blog meets the requirements as i have over 30 posts, i write unique contents and make sure it’s not less than 600 words. But for some reason, Adsense keeps telling me i have insufficient content.
It would mean a lot to me if you can help me review my blog and point out the necessary errors so that i can correct it website= gadgytech(dot)com. thanks

Even I am facing the same Issue. I applied for youtube partner & got mail that my Adsense account is fully approved. But when I visit youtube it’s showing it’s still under review & also I want to know how can I apply to show ads on my website?
You need to upgrade your AdSense account to non hosted for showing ads in your website.
Your application has been successfully reviewed. Now you need to create your first ad unit and place the ad code on my url to fully activate your account. Note that before your account is fully activated, only blank ads will appear on your pages. Once your account is fully activated, you’ll receive a confirmation email and begin to see live ads. Please don’t click on your live ads, even to test them – doing so isn’t permitted by the AdSense programme policies.
That above mail i got from google after applying in one hour but in home page of google adsense account it still showing like this ” check_circle
We’re reviewing your site.
Reviewing your site will take up to 3 days. We’ll email you when we’ve finished. ”

It could take up to 2 weeks. So just let the Ads be there. Once AdSense team will again review your account, it will be fully approved!

I applied for Google Adsense in April and its December now. Its been 8 months since I have applied for it and i didnt recieve any message. Whenever I sign in it says that my account is in review. I’m fed up now. Please help me
Hey Ali,
Apply for it again.
I have a same problem like ALI REZA. I don’t know how reapply since this message always shown when I sign in:
“Account Not Active. An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as your application is currently in review. Within a week of your application date, we’ll review your application and follow-up with you via email. Once you are approved to join AdSense, you’ll be able to log in to your account and get started.”
Its been 5 months since I have applied for this Google Adsense.
I just register for this adsense program. I have history of being banned from this program, so this time around I registered using my wife details.
My first submission was failed. The I resubmit. Also failed. It is said by adsense team that my website has no content, not a complete website and what so ever, which is in my opinion, is wrong.
Then I think for a second, it might be because of the theme that I used for the wordpress website. Then I changed and resubmit but this time using another wordpress website with different theme installed.
This time, my application is successful.
Congratulations, Sabree.
You mean to say that WordPress themes affect adsense approval? Like using nulled theme would not get you approved?
Use a neat and clean theme bro.
Your blog need to look like a professional one.!
Sabree,
Did you apply with the same website you were banned previously? All you had to do was use your wife’s name, bank account, email address and change the theme and that was it?
I have resubmitted my application like a week ago and when i logged in to my absence account it shows only the below message.
We’re working on connecting your site.
Reviewing your site will take up to 3 days. We’ll email you when we’re done.
Pls help me on this. my blog : http://allyoulike4366[dot]blogspot[dot]com/
