Get Google Adsense Approval! 7 Things to Do That Really Work

Would you believe that I applied for Adsense with a WAP site that didn’t have any option to put Adsense codes?
Believe it or not, but it’s true. And Adsense rejected my application. Cause that application didn’t make any sense to Adsense team.
That time, I didn’t have any idea about Adsense and how it works. All I knew that website owners can make money from Adsense. So I thought why not give it a try. After all, I was a proud owner of a mobile site.
Like me, there are a lot of people who apply for Adsense with low quality sites. That’s why Google became more strict on approving new Adsense accounts to maintain its quality.

7 Things to Do to Get Approved by Adsense

Google doesn’t reveal any hints on what basis they approve new account. All you can do is to maintain some standards before applying for Adsense. You can also consider the following tips as Google Adsense Approval Checklist.
1. Get a Top Level Domain
Those days are gone when people would get Adsense account with free sub domains site like blogspot, weebly etc. Google still approves sub domains site, but you have to make sure that your site has good contents, nice design, easy navigation etc.
It’s really tough to make sub domain sites compatible with Adsense standards. Google has already banned some sub domains site like .co.cc, .co.nr.
So I suggest you to grab a top-level domain like me. .Com, .net, .org, .in, .com.bd etc are the top-level domains. Here is an example to understand the difference.

Free Sub domain – roadtoblogging.blogspot.com
Top Level Domain – roadtoblogging.com

You can register a domain name from Godaddy.
Here are some important things you should consider before buying a domain name.

Don’t use hack, crack, downloads etc on your domain name.
Avoid copy right violation. (You cannot use others Brand Name on your domain).
Don’t use any adult term.

So make sure that you’ve a professional looking design with a good navigation. Don’t forget to create a logo for your blog.
3. Submit Site on Search Engines
Whenever you launch a site, you always want that people can discover your site easily. Search Engines are the place where people you find your site easily.
All you need to do is submit your sitemap on search engines.

And also make sure that Google has indexed your site’s pages. Type site:yourdomain.com in Google Search and check whether Google indexes your site or not.

4. Connect Your Site With Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools
Analytics and Webmaster tools are two awesome tools by Google.
Google Analytics provides detailed statistics about your site. And Webmaster tools provides detailed report on site’s pages visibility on Google.
These two tools help you improve your site performance that increase the chance of getting Adsense account.

5. Publish Fresh and Unique Contents
This is the most important part.
You have to create fresh and unique contents before applying for Adsense. Adsense doesn’t require huge contents, but quality contents. Some bloggers got Adsense account with only 20-30 posts, while some didn’t get approval with more than 100 posts.
So quality contents matter a lot. Quality contents are those which are well-developed and researched, free from copyrighted things and illegal download links, not copied from others, user-friendly and detailed. Your posts need to have more than 500 words.
So try to publish some quality content. Remember, Quality content is always king.
Adsense Prohibited Content: Copyrighted contents, Adult content, Hacking & Cracking related contents, Gambling/Casino/Alcohol related contents and all illegal contents.
6. Remove Other Networks Ads
It’s not a bad idea to try some Adsense alternatives when you don’t have an Adsense account yet. But remove those Ads before applying for Adsense.
Though Google allows you to use another Ad Networks with Adsense, but it creates a bad impression to the Adsense team if your site is filled with other networks’ ads.
7. Create Important Pages
There are some pages that provide better user experience. Google always focuses on better user experience. Most of the new bloggers don’t create these pages. Having these pages creates a good impression to the Adsense team. So create the following pages before applying for Adsense.

About – Most of the first time visitors visit ‘About’ page. They want to know who you are behind the blog. In about page, you can write about yourself and your blog or whatever you want. Here is my about page.
Contact – This is the most ignored page. You will realize its important once you have it. You might have missed direct advertising because of not having contact page. Learn: How to Create Contact Page in WordPress.
Privacy Policy – According to Adsense TOS, you must have a privacy page that contains information about cookies, device-specific information, location information and other information stored on. So create a privacy policy page for your blog.

Other Things to Consider

If you’ve more the one site, then consider applying with best site.
Your content should be written in English or other Adsense supported languages.
Give your actual information while applying for Adsense account.
Your age must be 18 years or above to participate in Adsense Program.
Sometimes Google requires 6 months older domain in certain countries including China & India.
Avoid Paid Traffic. (Adsense doesn’t require a lot of traffic)
Don’t use copyrighted image, Use Images with Credits.
Get Google Authorship.

Finally, Read Adsense Terms and Conditions & AdSense Programme Policies.

Once you’ve got Adsense account, you can use Adsense ads on others site owned by you. That’s why you might have noticed that some low quality site contain Adsense Ads.
