| Getting
Started With AdSense |
After you have created your web site completely,
go to https://www.google.com/adsenseto
apply. Most sites are either accepted or rejected
within 24 to 48 hours, so you shouldn't have to wait too
long to find out if your application has been approved.
Google will review your site
before it is accepted into the program. So if your site
is too small or does not contain enough original content,
it will likely be rejected.
You should have your own domain
name . Don't try to create a free Yahoo or AOL site
with banners and pop-ups. The freebie web sites
have lost a lot of respect over the years, and it may
be harder to get your site accepted if it's created on
such a shaky foundation.
If you do use a free provider,
your site better be exceptionally organized, full of useful
content, and cannot have banners and popups all over the
place. Free web sites scream "Amateur!" and that
may hurt your chances of getting in the program.
Once you're accepted,
simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any
page that you'd like to show the ads. If you've done a
good job of defining the content on your web pages, the
ads that show should be relevant to the content of your
page...increasing the chances of click-thrus by your visitors.
| Chances
Of Getting Rejected ! |
Google has to be very careful about which
sites they allow in the program. They don't want
to lose the advertiser's dollars.
These are some of the probable
reasons making your website rejected.
1) Is your site an "About Me"
page? Google does not accept these kinds
of personal sites because most of them do not have a specific
topic. They are usually just random facts about
the web site owner. It would be difficult for Google's
technology to display targeted ads on these kinds of pages.
They are looking for "content
focused" sites that contain a generous amount of information
on a certain topic. It could be anything from sewing
tips to hair care techniques. Just make sure there
is an obvious theme with original content.
2) Is your site organized?
Be sure your site has a neat and clean navigation that's
easy to follow. Also ensure all the links work and
that there are no typos. Keep the colors to a minimum
and make sure each page has a consistent layout.
3) How many pages are on your
site? Even though Google doesn't specify a page
number requirement, many believe they are looking for
web sites with a decent amount of content. Again,
it's not likely a two-page site will get accepted.
Try to strive for at least 20 pages.
4) Is your content solid?
Don't just submit a web site with a bunch of links to
other sites. Be sure you have enough original content
of your own to make your site unique.
5) Are you receiving enough
traffic? Google can get an idea of how much traffic
you're receiving by visiting http://www.alexa.com/. There's no
solid proof they check on this, but some believe they
do.
Plus, if you're not receiving
many visitors, it will be hard to make any decent money
with this program anyway. Wait until your site is
getting at least 100 unique visitors per day, then apply.
6)Make sure you have read the
program policy and procedures
carefully and verify your site hasn't violated any
of the terms or policies.
