Making Money with AdSense

It has been over two years I used AdSense on this blog to make money online. I still remember when I first applied to become a Google AdSense Publisher; I was actually rejected by Google. I got approval only on the second application after I done some changes to the site that I used it to apply AdSense.

And recently my friend started an anti-virus blog, I helped him to send an application to Google for opening an AdSense publisher account and he got his AdSense account approved within 10 hours.

With these experiences, I think I can share some info helpful for you to get your AdSense account approved smoothly and start earning online with AdSense

Getting an AdSense account to approve isn't difficult actually if you know clearly their program policies. Once you have set up your site or blog with content added in, you can read the Google AdSense policies here to see whether your site or blog comply with each of their rules and terms. There is also a set of webmaster guidelines you must adhere as an AdSense publisher.

After reading all Google AdSense program policies and their webmaster guidelines, if it seems that your site or blog doesn't against anything, you may fill out the AdSense sign form to send your application to Google.

There are actually quite a lot to read in Google AdSense policies and Google's webmaster quality guidelines. You may not be able to understand all of them. Checking each rule and guideline take time. So, if you don't have the time to understand totally their policies and guidelines; and making sure you comply everything, here are a few quick tips for you:

Site should be Information-Rich
As Google AdSense program is targeted for content-based website. Your site needs to have a reasonable amount of content. The content must be original and family-friendly. Don't use reprinted articles which already been published on other sites as Google AdSense team will not like it. If it is a blog you are going to use to apply for AdSense, make sure it has at least 5 original posts before applying.

Proper Website Design and Structure
2 column and 3 column layout are best for AdSense content-based website. The site has a clear navigation section for visitors. The navigation text links should be simple and arrange in a manner that easy for users to browse your web pages.

A site map is suggested although it isn't necessary. Do some on-page SEO optimization. Especially the title tag and meta description tag, they should be clearly and accurately describing what your website is about and with your primary keywords included.

Three Don't Do
- Don’t set your site to show pop and pop-up, pop-under when visitors browse your site.
- Don’t create pages with spyware, viruses or adware.
- No hidden text and hidden links in your website.

In the case that your application was rejected by Google AdSense team, Google will reply you with a reason for rejection. Read the reason carefully and review your website. Find the area that against AdSense policies, change it or remove it then reply. You will get the approval if you done the modification accordingly.
