The secret to getting an AdSense approval previously was through Blogger.com. All you need to do was to start a free blogspot at Blogger.com, put in say 5 posts (or maybe more) of good unique contents and you’re all set to apply for AdSense and it will be normally approved in under a week. However, recently, the AdSense team seems to raise its bar and standard. They are practically rejecting most AdSense applications – with “inappropriate contents” as one of the most common rejection reason.
All you need to do is to go to Google.com and search for “how to get adsense approval” or “best ways to get adsense approved” and you’ll realized that many new webmasters or bloggers have their applications rejected, even when some really tried to put up good solid blog. Some even shared that Google has sort of mentioned that the blogs must be 6-month with good unique content. Whereas a (very) small handful claimed they got their AdSense approved even though their blogspots are less than 6-month.
Now, for anyone who want to make money online, one of the best monetization methods is definitely PPC, pay per click, and in this case AdSense, which is the best PPC with the highest returns – no doubt the throughput earnings from AdSense have reduced drastically as compared to those high cost-per-click (CPC) years back. Nevertheless, there is no other PPC network or AdSense alternative that come close to AdSense. This is probably the reason why getting the AdSense approval is still critical for online success and the reason why this topic “how to get adsense approval”, in these days when Google is very stringent to approve new accounts, is important.
I’m now sharing in this post what I’ve researched online for the past hours on the possible surest ways to apply for AdSense. So if you managed to stumble upon this post and are trying very hard to get your AdSense account approve to no avail, what you see that may possibly be the best ways to try so as to get your AdSense approve.
So, one thing is for sure. Applying AdSense via blogspot has a low chance of success these days. The top 2 methods shared by many online are :
(1) Applying via Hubpages – http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Get-Adsense-Approval-Thru-Hubpages
(2) Applying via Flixya – http://www.flixya.com/post/sudhirshakya/1943685/How_to_Get_Google_Adsense_Approval
Frankly, I did not try those. But based on experience, I know it should work. The question is – the probability that it will work. Definitely not 100%, but worth a try.
On the other hand, my personal take is that I’ll stick to Blogger.com to apply for AdSense. Of course, modifications or refinements must be applied. I still believe that starting a blogspot in Blogger.com is the best way to get AdSense approve. But the usual 5-posts-and-apply technique don’t work anymore. You’ll have to apply these to increase the chance to get the approval :
(1) Content – Create quality blogspot with good unique contents. Not 5 posts but close to 20 post now.
(2) Design – Commit some time and effort to facelift the template and layout so as to provide a more customized appealing look.
(3) Include Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, About Us and Contact Us pages. These will make your blogspot more professional.
(4) Traffic – Start to generate traffic to your blogspot ie. forum (via signature), linking campaign, social bookmarking, article submission etc.
With that, the blogspot will be of certain quality and I don’t think you need to wait for 6-month before you can apply for AdSense. Of course, now you’ll need to take more time (ie. 1 month) and effort to create better blogspots to convince the AdSense team to approve your account. Good luck!
