Let me first of all start with why AdSense Will
Reject Your Application?
Here are the most common reasons and AdSense
requirements which they gives when they reject your
application.
1. Insufficient content / Unacceptable site content —
Your website do not have enough text on them for
Google specialists to review.
Google gives a lot of value and attention to the
content of the blog before accepting it. If the
content is poorly written and have grammatical
mistakes, Google will reject the blog right away.
Not only the content needs to be grammatically
correct, it must be unique and has to provide value
to the users and readers of the blog. So the number
one reason is the poorly written content on your
blog.
2. Page Type / Design of your blog — What will you
do if you land a page with full bright yellow
background with white text on it, having huge
buttons all over the place? Yes you’ll click away.
Blogs which are poorly designed and are hard for
the visitors to understand, get rejected by Google
for AdSense. You MUST have a good design which
comforts the eye and is beautiful in the look.
3. No Privacy Policy, About us or Contact Us page
— There are some pages which you must have
before applying to Google AdSense if you want to
get accepted. These are About us, Privacy Policy
and Contact Us pages. These pages give the
impression that you are a professional and that you
are working according to the Google polices.
4. Site does not comply with Google policies — No
rich, unique and meaningful content, no organic
traffic, pages with little to no original content or bad
user experience through clear navigation and
organization. Your website may be the one that
drive traffic through illegal sources, site with
excessive keywords or poor coded design are
usually rejected.
So you need a complete guidance and list of thing
that you need to do before applying for Google
AdSense and supposing that you are ready.
12 Things to Do Before Applying for Google
AdSense
1. Privacy Policy :
One of the common mistakes that every bloggers
and I made many times before getting approved.
Even though there are people out there who say that
having a privacy policy for a Blog doesn’t makes
sense but they are wrong!
The first thing you will need to apply for Google
AdSense and get approval is the privacy policy of
your blog or website. If you don’t have it you cannot
get approval simple is that. Why it is important?
Because this privacy policy means you are not a
scam and gives the sense of a serious business.
Google will check the rest of the conditions only if
you have this policy.
A privacy actually describes to your readers about
what they will get on your Blog , what they should
do and what they should not. So obviously there is
nothing bad in having a privacy policy. While it can
affect somehow on your AdSense Approval, you
must give it a try. You can write it yourself or find
Privacy Policy Generators online (You don’t need a
lawyer anyway).
2. About Page:
Like privacy policy you must have a about page so
that you can get approved. Like privacy policy this
About page also give the sense of a serious
business.
An About has major role and importance if you don’t
want to apply for AdSense. But when it comes to
AdSense, they are about zero chances of getting
approved if you are not showing this page.About
page simply describes about you and your Blog .
This will not only help you establish a relationship
with readers but it will also make them trust upon
you.
3. Contact Us Page:
It’s quite obvious that everyone has his/her own
opinion. What one of your readers likes may be
bothering someone else. Than it is better to give
them opportunity to speak up to you and tell how
they feel about your Blog, what they want to be
edited , what they liked or hated.
Create a contact us page, if possible add your
professional email there like
info@yourblog.com and your social profile links
too. Bcreating this you are telling Google that see
we care for our customers, visitors and we are
ready to help them. They can contact us any time.
It will also show the Google AdSense Team that is
viewing your site that you actually care about your
readers and not only the money and AdSense.
I’d recommend you to check
my contact page to get some idea.
4. Name/ Email Verification:
When you apply don’t forget to put your Name and
Email address in some easily visible area like About
Me and Contact Us pages. It will confirm to Google
AdSense Team that it is the same person who
applied for AdSense and not some spam, crappy
bots. This will help the Google in the verification
process.
5. Age Verification:
This is the mistake that most younger blogger are
making who are less than 18. They write incorrect
age and get into trouble.
Use your correct date of birth and age while
applying for Google AdSense account.
Because Google AdSense is not for people who are
under 18. Some people realize this problem after
being disproved a few times without any legitimate
reason. So I advise you to be accurate while typing
your age. Be honest.
6. Minimum Number of Posts:
What should be the minimum number of posts
before applying for Google AdSense? There is no
confirmed answer.
Not even one.
Because I have seen very established Blogs with
400+ posts and their owner telling me that Google
AdSense is rejecting them while somewhere
bloggers with 40,50 posts are enjoying making
money.
Exactly, what I said that there is no actual answer.
However, we can always predict things. According
to my experience, you should only apply after you
have more than 50 posts. Posts length
must be 500+ words too with quality content.
7. Design:
As mentioned earlier, you blog design matters a lot.
It should be professional and not like a messy
photo gallery. Clean, professional and smart design
is appreciated by Google.
Your blog design is the biggest thing after Content.
This represents your expertise, experience and
professionalism. So be careful because anything
can kill your chances of getting approved by
AdSense. I recommend Elegant Themes because
you get access to 87 WordPress themes in just
$69.
8. Content Type:
Be careful with what type of content you are
publishing. Because it is something that truly
matters.
Google AdSense is not for pornographic, pirated
content, illegal items, drugs or other blogs /sSites
like that. AdSense team won’t be willing to allow
you to step in if you own a Non English Blog.
Having posts shorter than 200 words in length is
also Red Signal.
9. Providing Value:
Google loves the blog who are providing value in
their content and their visitors and customers are
enjoying that value. Be sincere with your visitors
don’t ever try to scam them instead provide value.
Don’t complain about not making money and don’t
clearly state that you’re blogging for money only
and have no other interest in it. Because this will
show them that you will not be providing values to
your readers any day. Hence another Red Light
glows up.
10. Top Level Domain:
Those days are gone far away when AdSense used
to approve “Blogspot” and “WordPress.com” Blogs.
As for today, you must have your own unique
domain that specifies your Blog. If you don’t have
one yet, stop dreaming about getting approved with
Sub domains and go buy a Top Level Domain.
When it comes to domain, your domain should be
of top level. For this purpose the best domain is
.com domain. Choose a short, unique and easy to
remember domain related to your blog niche.
Another important thing about domain is it’s age.
Because most of Asian Countries, AdSense has
placed an age restriction. They don’t accept any
sites which are not 6 months old.
So keep it in mind before applying for Google
AdSense program.
11. Other Ad Networks:
If you have any other Ads placed like Chitika,
Clicksor or anything, it’s time to drop them off.
Even Google AdSense allows you to use other Ad
Networks along with them, it’s better to remove the
ads before Applying and don’t put them back until
you get a reply from AdSense Team.
So, before submitting your application for Google
AdSense make sure to remove all the ads on your
blog from any other network.
12. Paid Traffic:
Google hates the sites that are getting paid traffic
and mostly penalizes them so there is not a damn
chance of getting approved by AdSense for a site
that is getting paid traffic. You can bring traffic from
Search Engines or any other way you want but if you
want to earn via Google AdSense the right way, paid
traffic is not a solution.
Also note, that Google do not accept site which
gets traffic from illegal sources. So focus on getting
traffic from legal sources like social media, SEO
and related blogs.
