My Adsense Site has 0 Content

[ramdom123]

Hi, I have an adsense site which i created 5 days ago and it only has 4 pages Contact us, Terms, Privacy, and About us.

I do not have any articles on my site yet because of the writers I have hired. They still have not sent me my articles and because of that my site has 0 content.

I want to know is that ok if i add content late will i get late penalty if there is such a penalty. OR should i get rid of the site and build new when i have content in stock?

After this i am planning to add atleast 1-2 content ever week until i see the site.

thanks

You would need to look at the terms of service for adsense, I don't now of any penality, but I would think that it would not look to good.

As for scraping the site, I would think not. Just set it to not be searched by the engines. And then once you have the content put it back up.

I hope that this helps.

It sounds like you are just in the "building stages" of your site. Just add content to it when you can. I have tons of sites that are still in development stages that I haven't had the chance to add content to. Then again, I make sure to block search engines from indexing these sites until I add my content.

If you have ads on there, I would go ahead and remove them or disable them until you add your content.

Since google has not said anything about a site without content, so you need not to worry about that (If Adsense is working on your site, but I think it should not as google will not approve it saying DO NOT MEET THE QUALITY GUIDELINE)

If you have plan to put content on the website it is fine. Just go on and add the content when you get from your writer.

I have no ads on the site.

Also from WP I am allowing se to visit the site so would it be ok if i disallow them now?

There's no reason to build a new site and forget about it. Just wait it out or build some content yourself? I can't think of many niche's that I couldn't spit out 500 words on after a little research.

If you have the funds, I know a guy who will write 10 pages of 500 word content and even post it for you on your site and add an image to each post he creates as well as 1.5-2.0% as well as onsite optimization. I know it's a little more than what you would usually pay to have an article written but since he will also find the additional low competition KW's for your site related to your niche and write the articles for them once you've approved them, it's not a bad deal.

I actually got him to build a site with 20 pages of content, 10 published right away and the others one written and scheduled to publish over the next 2 and a half months and it only cost me $130.00 USD.

You can't have Adsense on pages that only have Adsense (no content).

You said yourself they won't approve an account with zero content.

Use your heads guys/gals, no content = no Adsense Ads.

[ramdom123]

Yes that's why i wont put any ads until i have atleast 5 articles.

Go into Wordpress, then "visiblity" and block search engines. Keep it like that until you add some content. Schedule content updates, say 2 a week for 6 weeks.

Adding the Adsense, you may well be best to leave it 3 weeks after your first post goes live. If you do it straight away, there is a chance that Google might see your site as a "made for adsense" site. Of course, they might not.

But if you look around the forum, there are plenty of horror stories. Get content up and your site indexed. Then after a while, your adsense. Just to be on the safe side.

You can always take that risk but then again, you could come back to the forum here and start a thread "Adsense banned me" or something.

I don't think so. I ran some websites in the past and put Adsense inside them with 1 or 2 articles and this was good with Google. Just make sure to place title, keywords, description and all other on page SEO elements.
