What is Google Adsense
Google AdSense provides a way for publishers to earn money from their online content.
Website publishers serve text, images, video, or interactive media advertisements on there websites.
These advertisements are created by various advertisers and maintained by Google. Google uses a cost per click (CPC) pay method.
Which means you are paid based on a user clicking on the ads served on your website. Each ad will pay a different amount of money to you.
When you are comparing networks Adsense does not place in the top category for pay.
Although super popular the payout is relatively low.

How Can I Get Adsense Approved
Using Adsense on your website/blog or even your YouTube account is pretty simple.
This post is directed at bloggers looking to get set up with their website, however you can use the basic format for your YouTube channel.
If you have not setup your website you can enroll in our FREE Lets Build Your Blog course. You will be able to go at your own pace as we walk you step by step in creating your very own stunning website.
One of the requirements you will see from YouTube is a minimum number of watch time which is 4,000 hours.
There is a minimum number of subscribers which is 1,000. Here is a quick look from Google on how to’s.
1. Content
Make sure you are writing original content that is useful and meaningful to your audience.
Any plagiarized material will disqualify your website. Make sure to SEO optimize your articles and shoot for lengthy articles 500 -1,000 word count.
You should also take note of Adsense Terms Of Conditions, and there policy on prohibited content
2. Must-Have Pages
Privacy Policy Page-You need this page if you are collecting personal information.
Personal information is anything that identify’s a user such as name,date of birth, marital status, contact information, ID issue, and expiry date, financial records, credit information, medical history, etc.
Your Privacy Policy Page will tell users how your website collects and manages personal data.
Contact Page-Your contact page is set up so website visitors can make contact with you regarding any related matters of your site.
About Me Page-This page is an introduction page. It tells visitors who you are, what you offer, and general information about your website.
3. Age Requirement
You must be of legal age to transact with Google. The age requirement is no younger than age 18.
If you are not 18 you can ask your parents to obtain the Adsense account for you.
4. Copyright Images
Adsense will not approve your application if they find copyright images on your site.
You can use images from a free or paid stock photo website. Do not download images from Google or copy images from another website.
Using images that are under copyright is illegal and can get you into unwanted legal issues.
5. User Experience
Users are surfing the web from more than just a desktop computer now a days. Users access your website from a tablet or even a mobile device.
You wan’t to make sure that your website is mobile responsive and delivers a great user-experience.
This will help in your approval process. This will also be a recommendation for your website load time. A slow website will deter visitor’s.
Over 50% of mobile visitors who land on your website will leave your website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
This is worth taking the time to learn more about so you can ensure a great user experience.
6. Website Traffic
There are no required amounts of traffic to be approved by Adsense.
For your website to be able to make money, you will need traffic coming to your site. Really when it comes to Adsense you will need a substantial amount of traffic.
For any blogger looking to grow there website you should work on SEO techniques and also consider using social media platforms to promote your blog post.

Is Google Adsense Free
There is no charge to apply for Google Adsense. FYI-there are affiliate networks and ad-networks that charge a fee to apply. Always look at the TOC to understand the application process.
To receive future payments you will need to sign up as an actual person using your name, and address. If you are using your business you can apply with your business credentials.
How Do I Know if Adsense Is Approved
Exactly how long does Adsense take to approve your application may vary. I have seen 24-48 hours but the final Adsense approval could take up to 2 weeks.
Once approved you will get a confirmation email saying that ‘The site “yoursitename.com” is now ready to show Adsense ads.’
At this point you can get started showing ads, and can start earning money from your Adsense approved website/blog.
Once your earnings reach $10, you will receive an address verification PIN. Login to your Adsense account and enter the PIN.
That’s it!
You have completed all the steps of Google Adsense approval process. Once your earning reaches $100, Google will send you or wire transfer your earnings on your bank account.
Conclusion
This is a basic guideline you should follow if you are hoping to be approved for Adsense.
You should have success after going through all aspects of this guide.

Thanks for helping out with these important guidelines. Google adsense sometimes took time to be approved and that’s only because of our own minute mistakes. But instead of waiting, we need to focus on the weaker part of our website.
