Google AdSense is a program by google which pays it's publishers for advertising google ads on their websites. If you have a blog or website with nice content and traffic then you can earn a handsome amount from google AdSense. But it is really very difficult to get your website approved by google. Most of the times, google rejects AdSense applications saying that the website doesn't comply with google policies. So, I'm going to tell you some things to keep in mind before applying for Google AdSense.
1. Add A Privacy Policy Page In Your Blog
Privacy Policy is a very important thing for any website. It tells your visitors how your website uses their online data, what they should do and what they should not. It makes your website working transparent and helps visitors to know clearly about your website policies. It may not be a major issue for Adsense Approval but you should give it a try.
2. Add An About Us Page:
Adding an About Us page also makes it clear for visitors that who are you and what are you doing on your website. It gives details about your website, tells it's background and hence builds trust between you and your visitors.
3. Add A Contact Page:
AdSense may look for your contact details for application approval because it proves that there is a real person behind the website. Contact page helps the visitors to contact you and do inquiries and send feedback.
4. Clearly Visible Name and E-Mail:
Make sure that your full name and email address (or contact details) are clearly visible on contact page or any other suitable place. This makes your presence valid.
5. Your Age Must Be At Least 18 Years:
While entering your date of birth in the adsense application, make sure that your age becomes 18 years or more, otherwise your request will be rejected.
6. Minimum Number of Posts:
There is no limit of posts for applying for AdSense, but for better results, you must apply for AdSense after 70+ posts. The length of each post must be of 500+ words.
7. Design And Navigation:
The design of your site must be professional or easy to navigate. Don't use lots of javascript effects or lots of images. Make the design simple and clear and use navigation bar to make the navigation easy. Always try to include a search bar in your site so that the visitors can search what they are looking for.
8. Content Is King:
The most important thing is the content of the site. Never copy any other site's content and always try to write unique content for your site. If your content is unique and valuable for the visitors, the traffic of your site will increase day by day and this is what google looks for. Never use abusive or pornographic content and don't publish cracked softwares and copyrighted material. So make your content easy to understand and useful.
9. Provide Value To Your Readers:
Never say that you are blogging for money or just for time pass. Try to build a relationship with your readers and provide value to them. Be interactive with them and be humble and honest for your readers. Say that you are trying your best to help your readers and will keep it on.
10. Use A Top Level Domain:
Instead of using free domain like xyz.blogspot.com, use a top level domain like .com, .net and .org. These domains are given preference by search engines and will improve search results which will drive more traffic to your site.
11. Never Use Other Ad Networks With AdSense:
Before applying for AdSense, remove ads from other Ad Networks like Clicksor, Chitika etc. Google doesn't allows any publisher to use any other network's banner ads with AdSense. Although you can't use banner ads, but you can use In-Text ads, such as Infolinks with google AdSense.
12. Don't Use Paid Traffic or Paid To Click Sites:
Google hates paid clicks because these clicks are not valuable for google Advertisers and they don't get any response. So google cancels those accounts which use paid clicks.
