RIGHT TIME FOR APPLYING ADSENSE ACCOUNT

Summary] Comments (0)
Google AdSense is undoubtedly
the easiest way to make money
online. Most of the times new
bloggers/website owners are not
sure as when is the right time to
apply for an AdSense account.
What is the minimum traffic
requirement? How many articles
should be there? Is there a six
month ownership criteria for the
website? Does PageRank play
any role? Unfortunately, there's
more myth than fact circulating
in public domain about Google
AdSense account approval. I
would like to share my
experience for the benefit of
website & blog owners who wish
to apply for AdSense account. I
am a technology blogger from
India & received my AdSense
approval in less than 3 months
of owning my blog. No need to
unnecessarily wait for 6 months
if you own a good quality blog.
Why am I interested to share my
AdSense account request
approval experience? Cause, it
may not be unique but it's
different & will motivate many of
you to play fair. Also, it will help
you in deciding one of the most
important factors i.e. when is the
right time to apply for AdSense.
Following statements are widely
circulated in forums & blogs:
Google doesn't readily
approve publishers from India,
China and a few other
countries
Your website/blog must be six
months old to get AdSense
account approval.
First thing first, you can't fool the
most innovative web company
(read Google). So, forget about
getting your AdSense account
approved using 100s of paid/
non-paid guaranteed black-
magic ways mentioned in various
forums & blogs. Even if you are
successful in doing so, your
account bears the risk of getting
disabled. Bottom-line: No short-
cuts, never pay anyone, never
use someone else's credentials
or not so fair means to get your
AdSense approved. I am not an
authority on Google AdSense but
from my experience I can
confidently say that the above
mentioned statements may not
be fully correct. Though Google
AdSense Support clearly
mentions:
In some locations, including
China and India, we also
require publishers to have
owned their sites for 6
months.
I think it's a guideline to filter the
scam sites and not necessarily a
policy. I own a custom domain.
Following is a sequence of events
related to my AdSense approval:
1. Registered my domain
name (mentioned in the
resource box) on 21
September 2009.
2. Posted my first article on 1
October 2009.
3. Applied for AdSense
approximately after 2 and
half months of activity.
4. Received approval mail on
23 December 2009, after 3
working days from the
date of application.
When is the right time to Apply
for Google AdSense account?
Following were my blog statistics
when I applied for Google
AdSense:
Number of articles: 14.
Google PageRank: 0. (Now it
has a PR of 2 after 31
December 2009 PR update)
Total number of visits from
October till December 20:
approximately 2200.
Page Views: approximately
3850. Search Engine traffic
source: approximately 45%.
Visitors came from 75
countries.
Majority of visitors from India
followed by USA & UK.
From above I can safely draw a
conclusion that, irrespective of
location & country of origin,
anyone who satisfies above
criteria can apply for AdSense
account & can get it approved.
Before you apply to AdSense
make sure that you have the
following in your blog:
A good theme/design.
Completed About me,
Contact, Disclaimer etc.
Unique articles.
Good quality articles.
Good posting frequency (at
least 1 article per week)
Good search engine traffic (on
an average at least 30 unique
visitors per day
After my experience, I strongly
feel that Google does not
discriminate provided you have a
good quality blog. So, no need
to wait for 6 months for a blog
which deserves it.
