I have tried many times to get a Google Adsense account, but I never get approved for some or other reason. Are there any tips, tricks for setting up sites that can be easily approved for Google Adsense? Thank you.

    You have to apply for adsense????

    I guess they changed it recently because my account is 2 years old and I got in without any approval

    EDIT: Oh, I get it. I am from US so I don't have to worry about all that Lucky me

        It used to be that if you set up a blogger blog and added good content then you would be approved, but I don't know if that's still the case. Google should be giving you reasons for refusal - and there are help pages to give you pointers on fixing the issues. These can range from incomplete personal data to content.

        Well I guess because you are in India. I just opened up a new adsense account and I didn't have to apply.

    Oh, and as an answer to your question, dunno if this works still or not...

    But, try setting up a DocStoc account and it'll then allow you to add an adsense account and you generally get approved within a couple days easily. At least, that was the case with me.

    I think I'm not alone in this case ... I don't know why now very difficult to get approved? Some said unique contents, some said a lot of contents, etc somehow which are the correct way to do it?

      I am also from India. But, I just opened my adsense account in 2006 without any application. Just filled in my details and logged into adsense.

      At that time, I just had content of 4-5 pages at googlepages. No domain, no hosting.

        I waited 6 months because at the time (2008) I think that was a requirement for getting approved. You need a site or blog with a fair amount of unique content. I'd recommend at least 5-10 articles to start.

    Google is a bit harsh, it took me three attempts before they approved my account, i guess there is a minimum waiting period of six months for you to clear the first round of approval.

    It sometimes helps to have an already established website/blog of at least 6 months before applying. you might just look into buying an existing domain or website with content already on it to do this.

      Does this apply to anyone outside the US, or just certain countries? How about Europe? I was planning to wait six months anyway, but I hear this for the first time now! Does your citizenship matter, or just your country of residence?

    Actually, my blog satisfies all criteria, its well more than 6 months old, it has unique content (around 27 posts), my Identity information and everything that is needed. They just declined my application saying it has unacceptable site content. I reviewed their pages and I found that my blog was not related any of their unacceptable site content topics. In fact, its just a personal blog not focused at anything. I just blog my every experiences in to it and nothing else, and I still get rejected. I re-applied and sent an e-mail to their support staff asking what exactly in my site was un-acceptable and there was absolutely no reply from them till date.

    I have got 4 adsense accounts done for myself and friends using the below:

    1) Make a blogger blog
    2) Add unique posts to it for 14 days, 200-500 words.
    3) Do not put any affiliate links
    4) Add it to technorati and other such blog directories, the know ones such that you have a button/small banner on your blog.
    5)Give a link to an authority website...say to the wiki page about your niche.

    Idea is to make it as genuine as possible.

    Then apply for adsense. I have have my accounts approved with in 1 week.

    Hope this helps.

    If you are having a hard time getting accepted then just try Hubpages. That should get you approved in record time.

    You got to make sure you have an approved privacy policy, a contact page and some decent content. I think I am forgetting something though.

    When all else fails, create a Blogger blog and apply through there to monetize your blog. You can use that account number on any of your other sites. Just remember that if you don't have the required stuff that Google wants, they will take your account away from you and it is next to impossible to get it back.

    I used a Blogger bolg and an article I got from EZA and I was approved in two days.

    Good luck. Hope this helps.

    I had actually tried the hubpages trick and blogger trick long ago, but was not approved, although my content was absolutely original. I am not sure how others are getting approved when re-writing stuff. I actually had an adsense account 5 years back but, I asked them to close my account as I was a student then and dint know how to get traffic. May be that is why I am not getting approved again, but I am using a different e-mail and address.

      Hi, everyone! I'm gonna tell you my method for appealing for my adsense account. Before we begin, I'll tell you my sad stories. The first time they replied my appeal, they won't change their mind. But, it doesn't make me hopeless. I still try appealing agin and again. But, none of my appeal was replied. And then my mother tell me that people would trust someone from his works. So, I'm send a mail to Google Adsense Support. Yes, a mail not an e-mail. This mail include a few important things that help me get my account approve.

      These things are :

      Your biography
      Your biography help Adsense Team to know your personal identities. It much help when you need extra attention from the Adsense Team.

      Your problem Write your problem in professional and good language.
      This will help The Adsense Team understand your problem.

      Printscreen of Google Analytics
      Login to your Google Analytics and show 'em that you are not a cheater. Print the visitor, traffic, and bounce rate section. This will help Adsense Team know more about your site.
      About your site
      Describe about your site in two paragraph. The first paragraph describing the making of your site. The second paragraph describing your activities in your site and how often do you update it.
      About your visitor
      Tell 'em about your visitor, where they came from, what part of communities are they, and what kind of human are they. Also tell them about how you promote your website. If you promote through forums then give them the forums url. Or if you promote through Adwords, then just write your Adwords account data.
      Your photo
      Include your photo and it will help Adsense Team to know more about you. Show your saint face and it will touch the Adsense Team deepest heart.
      Handwriting
      DON'T print your mail. Just write it with your hand, because it's a gift from God. Don't waste your time, write it with good style. No scratch, no dirty, and you'll be fine.
      OK, that's enough, now send the mail to this address :


      Google Adsense Support
      1600 Amphitheater Parkway
      Mountain View, CA 94043 USA

          Whatever site you build, whether on your own hosting, or on someone else's, don't make it look like a money site. Design it strictly for the searcher's benefit.

          Have lots of unique content that does not mention any products. You can go back and change it later after you've been approved.

          It's not that google disapproves of selling products, but with new accounts and new sites they have been very picky lately. They have been cracking down on made for adsense sites.

    Adwords account...Yes Adsense account...Yes but use it very little.

    You will do better using clickbank products, CJ products, or some PPA ads from a monetary stand point. There are some out there making plenty of money with adsense but starting out it just will NOT be enough.

    In the six months waiting time, I created around 60 articles in my first website ranging from 100 to 400 words. I was rejected twice, got lucky 3rd time. There was no change in the site's content or structure. However, it was listed in the Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics. Just keep hitting the resubmit button after every two-three days.

    Those good days when anyone can get accepted are gone. But I don't think it is difficult to get into adsense. Just build a high quality website or blog and you will get entry.

    And yeah I forget to tell don't go with free options like blogger etc. Country of residence don't matter, it may matter a little like when your are from country with high spam but in the end its all about business. So if you have good website then no problem.
    I get accepted with one post blog on blogger but those good days are gone due to increase in spam.

      There's nowhere in the application for you to write any comments. I know cos been rejected twice now and frustrated that could not add comments the second time I tried. Added to that, because I apply from Hong Kong the US California reviewer sends the result message via the Taiwan office and it gets sent to me in Chinese! Well, at least Taiwan is closer than Japan where lots of folk think Hong Kong is.

    Just start again and set up a domain and site on something easy like Travel.

    Picking a Travel niche is safe and generic.

    Add relevant content and images.

    It took me a couple of weeks to get approved, but perhaps there's an issue with your location and nationality?
