Google AdSense! One of the most easiest, trusted and
professional way of earning money by showing your passion towards writing and
sharing the knowledge. Google AdSense is trusted by many advertisers and
publishers from the past few years, and usually they never accept anyone
randomly who is trying to apply for an account. You need to show them the most
professional approach of getting your account accepted, else Google will simply
throw your application aside.Statistics say that Google AdSense accepts
only 3 accounts of every 1000 applications they receive each day. If you are
trying to get onto the account or has been rejected earlier, follow these
simple guidelines to get your own AdSense account in just 3 simple days. Though
these below tips won’t get you the account approved instantly, but will surely
work if you try inheriting each step mentioned below. I’m sure it worked for
60% of people who commented here and mailed me from the past couple of years.
Get Google AdSense
Approval Within 3 Days:
So before getting started, make sure you follow these guidelines
without fail, else your application will be rejected without any further
pending approval. Remember that everything which I mentioned below counts.
Don’t compromise on number of posts, own domain, good design and other metrics,
else the chances of rejection is higher at your end. So here we go, the 15 most
important guidelines to follow before applying to Google AdSense.
Minimum
Posts/Articles/Pages:
If you are using WordPress, make sure your website/blog has at
least 40 quality articles which are not copied from anywhere else. Your content
on the articles should be extremely rich and make sure you use relevant images
where ever required. Try to include two lengthy articles of 2000 words each,
which should be absolutely stunning while anyone reads them on your website. If
you are using HTML website or any other non CMS version of blog, make sure you
have atleast 50 pages on your website in form or articles or landing pages.
If you miss providing this any of the above information on your
website, Google might reject your application saying Insufficient Content or
Unacceptable Site Content. So make sure they see enough content on your website
before applying the program. The more the content, the better chances of
approval.
Prohibited Website
Niches:
Statistics show that your
account will go through a faster approval process if you have more quality
articles on Health, Internet Marketing, Business, Law, Technology,
Entrepreneurship, Travel, Lifestyle and Social Media. Google will take your
application as a serious offense if your website contain any of the prohibited
content mentioned in this link here.
Some studies have also proved that Google AdSense might reject
your approval if your website is on event blogging and micro niche blogging. In
this particular blogging, you limit your blog content to only one particular
subject and create a spam domain around it to rank higher. Eg:
www.mayweathervspacquiaomatchonline.com (Mayweather vs Pacquiao Match Online).
In some cases, if you have observed Google Ads in these of websites, probably
they have applied the account through an another account and placed the ads in
this event niche blogging to earn quick money.
No Third Party Ads or
Programs:
Before applying to AdSense, make sure you don’t allow or place
any other third party banner ad code on your website. Google (employees) will
strictly look into your website manually and they hate seeing some third party
ads installed in your website. Stay away from Infolinks, Chitika, Yahoo Ads or
any other third party network to get the first impression clean on your
website. Make sure you put only the fresh content and some regular widgets on
the website.
Also, stay away from affiliate links such as hosting programs,
Amazon affiliates, Clickbank or anyother until your account is approved.
Website Design and User
Experience:
Google always want their users to get the best experience while
browsing through any website they refer. Maintaining a clean design with good
navigation and user experience will boost your chances of getting AdSense
approved in the first attempt itself. This is one of the major guidelines where
lot of people miss the basics. Google believes that if you maintain
professional color scheme on your website, the user might be willing to come
back and click on the relevant ads which are displayed under your content.
So make sure you maintain a neat and clean design before
applying to AdSense. I would recommend you to buy one professional template
anywhere and get it installed on your website without effecting the loading
speed or easy navigation.
Google
Analytics Code:
Adding Google Analytics
code on your website is a trusted factor for the approval. Adding Analytics
onto your website show that you are actively tracking your visitors and is much
serious about the statistics of your users who visit your website. If you haven’t
created one, click here to register the program. Once
registered, get your tracking code by creating new account under the accounts
tab and enter your website name, URL and other required details. Place the code
on each page of your website to track the data instantly.
Google/Bing
Webmasters Verification Page:
Just like Google
Analytics, you need to even verify with Google Webmaster program, which has the
complete access to your website in search perspective. With Google Webmaster
Tools, you can track your website critical errors and fix them on a daily
basis. Click here to register and
click on “Add a Site” to enter your website URL. Verify your website ownership
through any of the recommended method and complete the process to keep your
account functioning actively.
Also, adding the Bing Webmaster Tools to your website will add more
credibility to your domain that you are serious about the website search
visibility. Though this guideline is pretty easy to perform, many people will
get comfortable without knowing the importance of installing these tools.
Adding these two verifications on your website code or server
will show good results on search visibility as well.
XML
Sitemap Page:
Creating a sitemap
doesn’t take too much of your time. If you are using WordPress, I recommendGoogle XML Sitemaps By
Arne Brachhold. And if you are using any other platform, I recommend you to
checkout XML-Sitemaps website for more info. Installing a
sitemap on your website can help search engine bots to index your website
faster, which is again a trust factor to bots about the website
trustworthiness.
Robots.txt
Creating Robots.txt file
on your website will get rid of indexing unwanted junk onto Google. I have
written a detailed post few days back on how to write perfect robots.txt for
your website. Else you can also check google.com own robots.txt file and
simply copy it to your WordPress website. I have restricted all the unwanted
data indexation to search engines, which adds a lot of value to your SEO
efforts of ranking the pages higher on Google. Plus, robots.txt file is another
great feature to add it your website as a trust factor.
Alexa
Rank:
Google AdSense
considering the Alexa rank has always been a controversy, as many people
disagree that Google doesn’t care about your global rankings. Trust me, I
strongly believe that this is one of the most important checklist any manual
operator checks before even opening your website statistics. How can anyone
quickly judge about a website performance? The answer is simple, and its Alexa
ranking. So make sure you install the Alexa toolbar and read my eBook on how to boost Alexa ranking
within 30 days.
Note: Before applying to AdSense, make sure your website global
Alexa ranking is less than 400K for faster approval process. Usually the
website above this rank is considered to be new and underestimated that no much
data is seen on them.
Important
Pages:
Google wants to know your identity before you signup to their
AdSense program. So make sure your create the following pages on your website
as soon as possible.
1.
Privacy Policy
2.
Disclaimer Policy
3.
Terms of Usage
4.
Contact Us
5.
About Us (Write your name and address through which you applied
the AdSense account)
In the about us section, clearly mention who you are, and why is
this website made for, what is the benefit people get out of your website. The
more clear, the better the chances of your approval. Keep your spelling
mistakes, grammar and punctuation clear when you do this.
Custom
Domain and Email ID:
A lot of people get create websites through blogspot and free
WordPress platforms to apply AdSense. Note that AdSense team will take a custom
domain more seriously rather than the free domain name. Investing 2$ on a
domain name is not a big deal when you have health chances of getting approval
with other factors like mentioned above. So don’t give yourself a second chance
to apply the AdSense program and get your own domain as early as possible.
Once you have your own domain, create an email ID with your name
(name@website.com) to apply the AdSense program. Eg: satish@seosiren.com will
get more attention compared to satishseosiren@gmail.com. Note that your free
website programs give you the privilege or adding your custom domains without
paying any additional fee.
Decent
Traffic:
Though a lot of portals, forums mention that Google AdSense
doesn’t require any certain amount of pageviews to approve your account, I
still feel and experienced the treatment if you have a decent traffic. Let your
blog age a few weeks (atleast 2 months) before you rush to apply the AdSense
program. I would always recommend you to stay until your website get a minimum
of 50+ visitors per day. If your website is not getting enough traffic, the
chances of rejection is much higher when compared to other guidelines.
Once your website is
ready with all these above guidelines, click
here to apply to Adsense, and make sure you have gone through the Google AdSense TOC for more information on the
program.
Leave your comments to check if your doing good with the
process. And if your AdSense was rejected despite of following all these above
mentioned guidelines, shoot me a mail to satish@seosiren.com and I will help
you out with a free AdSense consultation. Stay tuned to SEOSiren for more such
