12 Things to Do Before Applying Google Adsense
I know many of you want to make some good money with adsense right?
But it’s not easy to get into adsense program now a days. You have to do few things before applying for adsense.
Google Adsense is worlds larges Ads Network and works at Pay Per
Click system. It's paying rates are better than all of other
networks which is the biggest reason it is so popular to all Bloggers and Webmasters. But since everybody is running behind them, they have
made the approval system very strict. You make little mistakes and
get disapproved every time. 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 Google Adsense
1. Privacy Policy :
One of the common mistakes
that every Blogger makes and that I made many times before finally
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.
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
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.
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.
4. Name/ Email Verification
Make sure to put you 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.
5. Age Verification
I’m really laughing out typing this.
Why?
Because this is where I encountered a problem. Instead of 18, I
accidentally published my age as 17 while on Adsense Application Form,
it was accurately 18.
Hence there started a problem . Because Google Adsense is not for
under 18 people. I realized this problem after being disproved a few
times without any legitimate reason. So I advice you to be accurate
while typing your age.
6. Minimum Number of Posts
There is no exact 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 ,people 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 70 posts.
Posts length should must be 500+ words too.
7. Design
Your Blog is the biggest thing after Content. This represents your
expertise ,experience and Professionalism. So be
careful because anything can kill your Chances.
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,
Illegal Items, Drugs or other Blogs / Sites like that. Also Adsense
team won’t be willing to allow you to step in if you own a Non English
Blog. Having posts shorter than 300 words in length is also Red Signal.
9. Providing Value
Don’t complain about not making money and don’t clearly state that your are 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 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.
Another important thing about domain is it’s age. Because for most of
Asian Countries, Adsense has placed an age restriction. They don’t
accept any sites before they are 6 months old.
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.
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 Adsense Approval
letter 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.
Over To You!
This will take your few time and you have to Do these things Before
Applying for Google Adsense. I guess these are not too hard. Don’t be
sad if google adsense not approve your blog! There are many other ways to make money online without adsense.
