How to Get a Google Adsense Account Approval ?

Part 1

Increasing Approval Chances

1. 1
   Own a website. You'll need to pay for your own website domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com) rather than using free hosting. If you try to set up a free website that uses another website's domain extension (e.g., yourwebsite.wordpress.com), you'll most likely be prompted to complete the AdSense setup on that website's ad page.

   • Most free website providers (e.g., Weebly, Wix, WordPress, etc.) have a paid upgrade that allows you to set your own domain rather than using the provider's extension.
   • Skip this step if you're just trying to set up AdSense for YouTube.
2. 2
   Reach at least 10,000 channel views on YouTube. YouTube's minimum requirement for AdSense consideration is that you have at least 10,000 channel views. These views can all be on one video, or they can be spread out across videos.

   • Skip this step if you're trying to set up AdSense for a website.
3. 3
   Make sure that your content is appropriate. Google AdSense won't approve your website if it hosts controversial content (e.g., hate speech, nudity, graphic violence, etc.), especially in the light of YouTube ad restrictions.
4. 4
   Post original content. AdSense is much more likely to approve your content if it's 100 percent original. This means that articles, videos, and/or visual media that you post must come from you.

   • It's okay to link to other sites or content as long as the link itself is part of an original post.
5. 5
   Avoid copyrighted content. Even if you own a copyrighted song or a video, posting it may dissuade AdSense from approving your request.
6. 6
   Organize your content. Using headers, bullet points, and other organizational methods when writing on a website will clean up your content, making it much more appealing to Google than if your content is unformatted.

   • On YouTube, using this same level of detail in your videos' description boxes will increase Google's positive perception of your channel.
7. 7
   Create multiple website pages. If you're trying to get a website approved, make sure that you have an "About" page, a "Contact" page, and a "Disclaimers" page in addition to the default "Home" page.
8. 8
   Post content often. Aside from hosting hate speech, nothing will cause AdSense to reject your claim like having an inactive website or channel. Make sure that you're uploading frequently (at least once per week), and that each piece content is distinguishable from other posts on your site or channel.
