The AdSense approval process has
several steps - some on our end and some on yours. Click each step below to
find out how to get approved:
The most important thing for success
with AdSense is having a website with great content that delights your users -
before you apply to AdSense, check that your site has interesting and original
content. And of course, you need visitors too, or no one will see your ads, so
make sure that people know about your site before you place ads on it.
There are some rules about
what kind of content is acceptable which you should read. We've also put
together these helpful tips
for application success. When you're ready:
If your website is on one of
our host
partner sites(like Blogger, YouTube, or Hubpages, among many others), you
should sign up through your account there - these sites follow a different
application process.
Once we've verified your
information, it's time for you to create
your first ad unit and place
the ad code on the URL that you provided in your application. Make
sure to place your ad code on a webpage that receives traffic.
You'll only see blank
ad units on your site until you've passed the second review and we
fully activate your AdSense account. You'll also see a red bar across the top
of your account saying that you're still under review.
Your AdSense account is now fully
activated. The red bar across the top of your account is gone and within a
few hours you’ll begin to see live ads.
We highly recommend that you take
full advantage of the AdSense
Academy, which we’ve created to help you run a successful AdSense account.
We check the information in your application
(your address, URL, etc.) and send you an email regarding the status of your
application within one day.
If your application is not approved,
you'll receive an email explaining the disapproval reason and the possible next
steps that you can take.
Once our systems detect that you've
placed the ad code on a live page, we automatically continue the review process
and check that your site complies with our policies. When we've completed the
second review, we send you an email letting you know the status of your
application. This process can take up to a week.
If your application is not approved
at this stage, you'll receive an email explaining the disapproval reason and
the possible next steps that you can take.
