How To Get Adsense On My Blog?

Let me start this topic with a conversation with my online friend (name withheld for personal reasons) :

Friend : Hi Govinda! Need some help bro

Me : Yes, what help do you need bro?

Friend : Actually, I am going broke. Dad’s not giving me enough money. I took a free co.cc domain and blogged for 2 days and applied for Adsense. But Adsense flatly refused my application. All my posts were original. What should I do?

Me : LOL Wait till I write a article on my site, then you will understand where you went wrong. You, like other new bloggers, have taken Adsense for granted.

Most of the bloggers (basically, even I) took to blogging just for Adsense. People make the mistake of linking money with Adsense. They think that all they need is a few posts (which they do by copy pasting or intelligent ones spin those articles). Day by day, the adsense policies are getting stricter. As of now, these are the compulsory requirements for getting Adsense approved on your website.

• Buy a Top Level Domain :

Many new bloggers make this mistake. Moments after making the decision of blogging, they head over to blogspot and get a free blog. Some of them try taking co.cc domains and host it on a free hosting. My dear friend, you need to a bit more professional when you think of earning money. You strictly need a Told Level Domain. The best top level domain is “.com” domain. Just head over to some domain registrar and go get one for just about $9. You can even get coupon codes that give free domain for first year or domain for just $1 only. All you need is a bit of Google searching.

• Age Of Website :

For your website to be qualified for Adsense, you need a good aged website. Your blog must be minimum 6 months old before you can apply for Adsense.

• Write Original Content :

Who would like copied articles? Same is the case with Adsense. These guys have advanced checkers that can easily detect whether the articles are authentic or just some copy paste. Your site can only have content that agree to Google Adsense’s policy. Hacking tutorials or tricks are a strict no no. In a word, everything that you post should be LEGAL. Also, just having a few original articles won’t do the trick. You must have atleast 50-60 originals before you think of applying.

• Having Some IMPORTANT Pages :

Your website must have important pages like Privacy Policy and Terms Of Use. Such things elevate the level of professionalism of your website and can impress the people at Google. Also, tend to AVOID popups like subscription boxes on the home page. This shows that you are making the website for only making profits and not sharing information.

• Traffic :

Traffic is definitely a important criterion for getting Adsense. Adsense will never accept your site if you have very less traffic because they will stand at a loss. Low traffic website owners sometimes do illegal things like ‘click exchange’ which results in losses for both Adsense and the websites who advertise on Adsense. So you need to have a site that generates constant traffic.

Just make a small checklist and try to assess your website with the following points. I am sure you must be getting rejected because you don’t comply to one of the terms. Enjoy blogging!
