Getting approved for Adsense

Adsense noob here. Trying to use adsense to monetize a blog (for starters, so I can get used to it). Really, per Warrior advice, since I'm getting a ton of YouTube subscribers and video views, I'd like to monetize those videos.

Is it normally a pain to get approved by Adsense? I keep getting these types of e-mails within 12 to 24 hours of applying:

I'd like to respond and tell 'em to screw off ... hehe ... I mean, the blog I signed up for has over 100 posts and 30 pages, and none of 'em are 2-3 sentences. They're all quite lengthy with good (original, non-spun) content. When I sign up, should I point them not to the home page, but to a long page with more content?

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Any guidance would be appreciated!

    It would be easier to apply for Adsense from your Youtube account.

    I guess you own the videos.

    • Damn ... I can't even YouTube going ... I think it's because there's 1 content claim ID issue on 1 of the 123 videos I've uploaded. So they say they're unable to verify my account (although they've SMS'd me a couple of times already, before).

  • Adsense has gotten much tougher to get accepted on now. It sounds like it might be an issue with an aged account that has a big black mark on it. Have you had any BIG copyright violations on a YouTube, Blogger or other Google product account before? If that youtube copyright violation you mentioned was "a biggie" then this could be the cause of your rejection.

    The problem now is your IP will be logged, and so any new accounts you try and register under will likely be denied as well. It would take some black hat crap with New IP, Name, Addres etc.Which as you know is just better to stay away from....

    • Hi Petemcal. The domain is new, and at first, I tried to sign up using my jasonpaulweber gmail account, but then I tried my domain account. Yes, in fact I have 132 videos uploaded to YouTube, and one of them got a Content ID violation somehow. But they haven't terminated my account. I haven't decided whether to dispute it or not, but it was just a 30 second clip from Celebrity Rehab that went viral. I deleted it, but then learned that deleting it doesn't do anything.

      So I guess I'm pretty much screwed, unless there's an alternative to Adsense! Thanks for the knowledge!
  • Dont know if its just me, it took literally 15 seconds for the whole page to load for me.

    • Not sure, adlol ... haven't touched the site in a long time, other than a post here or there ... but I'll optimize all of it. Last time I checked it got a 98 on gtmetrix, 89 on yslow (homepage did), but there's a lot of work to be done when I can put the time in.

  • I'm always shocked when people get denied from adsense.. I had my site not for very long and had very little content when I applied. I wonder what it is they are looking for before they accept you.

Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into AdSense at this time.
