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:

This article is so helpful for me. I am starting a new blog which is www[dot]ealltimes[dot]com

Hey Shimul,
Write some more posts and increase the length of the post.
Sir please write some blog address which is showing complete adsense approval and design and have sufficient contents on that. And I have a question for my youtube channel Adsense disapproves my application for insufficient content.sir please visit my channal javaoeasy for guide me.
Hi Harsh.. As you said there no official confirmation like a blog should have min 15-20 articles.. I have submitted my website with 10 quality posts without any copied content.. and i have added all legal pages and about us pages..
But my ad sense account is disapproved because of insufficient content.. What i need to do now..?? Do i need to write 30 articles for sure before submitting it to google…?? Please help me..
Hey,
If they have cited the reason as insufficient content, it means that you need to write more post and then try again.
In my case, Getting Adsense approval was like a miracle for me. I added only 28 posts, not well english, no seo but they approved me. I think they approved me because of my 6 month old domain. The other fact is, along with about us, contact us, privacy policy, I have also added feedback, terms and conditions, dmca, disclaimer pages.
And the most surprizable fact is, I made and maintananced this blog with my android phone only. Even I edited my template in phone using wps office app and offcource in offline then I uploaded the theam on blogger. To setup my custom domain, I only went to internetnet cafe. But I think its a largess of GOD. Thanks GOD. You are great.
Thanks Abrar for such a wonderful guide. I’ve taken help from this post and I’m Adsense approved now. 🙂
Does Google approve blog with film review articles? I and my friends are not professional film critics but we just want to share our opinion. It is against AdSense requirements and policies? Also, I really appreciate if you want to visit my blog at waktunonton.com and give your opinions and suggestions.
Thank you
Yes,
Unless and until you don’t post copyrighted material, you can write about it and get adsense approval.
Hi Harsh,

Hey Thein,
Fill the application in your friend’s name. Also, use his/her id card and address.
Hello Dear HARSH AGRAWAL,
dear bro I got approval from google adsense but since there is no single ads show in my blog soo pls help me dear. my blog adress-http://getfreemovie4u.blogspot.com. i tried in every browser and also in mobile but there is no ads show yet.
Hey Memon,
You may still only be approved for Stage 1. Check the approval email. If it says to place the code on your site, then you’d only be in the first stage. When you place the ad code, an ad won’t show up. Not until they complete the second review. After the second review, you will get a message”Your Adsense account is fully activated”.
Hey, thanks
But with the great article and quality of blog playing big roll to approve I got approved in 18 days
@Harsh
Your comment is very helpful than your post for me.
@Harsh
I like to read your comment.
Great job man
Hello, thank you so much for you article. I have now idea how to start with adsense.
Hello, I applied for Adsense back in March but I got disapproved due to insufficient content, now I have fixed every issue I think and made my blog easier to navigate. So I applied again in July and I have been waiting ever since. Haven’t heard a word from Google. It just says my account is awaiting approval on the Google dashboard. I think i might be doing something wrong. Please can you help me check out my blog i-cookandbake.blogspot.com
is it necessary to have a privacy policy page for getting approve for adsence..?
Hey Rahul,
Yes, it is mandatory.
Thank you for the great post Sir,
I followed all processes unsuccessful, can it be down to the reason I am using free domain ie .cf?
What is your recommendations on using free domains like .tk, .cf, .ml, ga to apply adsense?
Hey Dellie,
The reason for rejection might be something other than your domain extension. you can get approved with these domain extensions. Read this post regarding criteria of AdSense:https://www.shoutmeloud.com/adsense-account-disapproved-how-to-reapply.html
Thank you very much, Abrar. I’ve been posting quality articles on this blog since 2011. But I’ve never considered applying for Adsense. I’d be very grateful if you could help take a look and tell me what’s missing before I apply for Adsense. Here is the blog: sodiqyusuf.blogspot.com.
Thank you.
Hi Abrar,Thank you for the great post, However I followed all the steps with no success, can it be because I use free domains? I use .CF? What is your recommendations please in using free domains like TK , .CF, .ML, .GA
Thank you in advance.

i have a blog in blogspot my website 2 month old but when I go to earning tab in blogger.com and also for adsense here I will see your website is currently not eligible now what I do? I want some month or switch another ads company
Hey Shailesh,
It should be 6 months old. Wait for some time.
hi sir,
If my domain is only a week older, can I get adsense approval on the basis of quality content ?
@Vishal
Yes, you can!
Sir,
Can I use weebly subdomain to get approval?
If any, please mention demerit of using weebly website to work with adsense.
Thank you
You mean to say domain.blogspot.in will not work for the google adsense.
@Deependra
It would work for domain.blogspot.in but it’s tougher to get approval with this in comparison to a blog with custom domain.
