20000 visitors per month, is it enough for Adsense approval?

I have a website steadily increasing in visitors and now reached 700 visitors per day, 20000 visitors per month and may keep rising even from here. That got me interested to try out using advertising revenues, though I am not into content marketing etc. It's just labour of love.

Before putting adsense on above site, I applied it on another of my websites just to test out how adsense process works. That website gets 100 visits/day and google did not approve it. They gave some very general comments about webmaster improvements etc, nothing specific. So I thought it could be only because of low traffic.

So getting back, if my site is 20000 visitors per month, should that be enough for adsense approval? Also it has approx 1.8-2 pageviews/visitor too which I think isn't so bad. The site is 5 years old (on older blogspot domain), was getting only 400 visitors/month when decided to resurrect it 1 year back. I did several things like move to self-hosted wordpress (from free blogspot), applied an SEO friendly theme, used own domain name etc to make it reach 20000/month now. Also the pageviews were hardly 1.1-1.2 per visit and now they are almost 2.0 per visit.

So is that good enough for adsense approval? Any gotchas to be careful about?

Thanks for your comments. All help appreciated.

    20,000 seems like a good number. However, how good is your backlinking strategy?

      Thanks for the quick reply. I have backlinks but no strategy as such. It's pure google traffic mostly, even pagerank is 0 last time I checked

      I can do those things gradually once I see some revenues coming in, just want to get started somewhere.

    It is more than enough. But it all depends on the content. Make sure your site complies with AdSense policies.

        If the visits are through organic search on Google, they you can apply. But, it will be better if you get some more visitors. Try to build some quality backlinks. Also create About us, privacy policy and contact us page.

    I re-applied for google adsense for my 20000 visitors/month website today, and I got rejection message from google. I did not have privacy policy page though.

    I hadn't placed an ad code anywhere, is that correct? The first time I had applied the ad code was to be placed only after first approval.

    We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.

    Site does not comply with Google policies: We're unable to approve your AdSense application at this time because your site does not comply with the Google AdSense program policies or adhere to the Webmaster Quality guidelines. It's our goal to provide our advertisers sites that offer rich and meaningful content, receive organic traffic, and allow us to serve well-targeted ads to users. We believe that currently your site does not fulfill this criteria.

    Here are some recommendations to help you improve the user experience on your site and comply with AdSense criteria:

    It's important for sites displaying Google ads to offer significant value to the user. As a publisher, you must provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.
    Don't place ads on auto-generated pages or pages with little to no original content.
    Your site should also provide a good user experience through clear navigation and organization. Users should be able to easily click through your pages and find the information they're seeking.

      Make sure you have got a good Privacy Policy and Terms of service set up with dates when they have been amended and valid contact information where visitors can contact administration both via email, phone and mailing address.

      Have a look at Google's own terms of service and Privacy Policy and they also give you pretty much made templates of what they require. If you search their recommendations you can pretty much build a template as to the pages they require.

      As long as you meet their terms there is no valid reason why they would reject you.

      It is worth getting the set up right because it is easier to move forward once you have one site approved.

      It is the same for adwords and all google products.

        Thanks. I will take it slow this time and look at other websites which already have adsense approved. I saw one high earning blogger mention that he got his adsense rejected 6 times before finally getting approved. Hope to learn from others before me, I definitely don't want to try 6 times!

    If your website having genuine content with good traffic, then google adsense will approve your account but now a days google adsense paying few cents only for per click, so its better if you concentrate for some other solution like CPA or affiliate marketing

      It's not in any of these niches. In fact, it's a probably boring and non-fashionable topic: men's rights!

      Yes thanks for that suggestion. I also thought about that a bit, but somehow I am not sure if the ongoing maintenance will be any lesser than adsense. Sure adsense approval process seems a bit stringent but people also say that's it's automatic after that, and it keeps giving some steady income.

      Since this just a possibility of side-income I wanted to explore and not my main work, and I am not even sure how much I may earn really, I am inclined to do adsense first and then look at others if it looks promising.
