    There are other alternatives, where you can leverage Google Adsense, at least while you wait for your own account. Though many will discourage you from using a site you don't actually own, if you are determined to earn from Google Adsense, you can write and publish to various free web 2.0 websites that will share revenue with you. With that said, it is my honest opinion that Google Adsense is becoming increasingly more and more difficult to earn from. Not impossible, though. Best to you!

      AdSense is indeed turning to be very picky these days. Unfortunatly there is no other ad network that come even close to AdSense.

      Try to improve the look and feel of your site, add more quality content. Try to get some backlinks from quality sites (maybe from friends), once you do all of this and the amount of traffic to your site is increased - try to apply again

      What exactly are you saying? Should i quite Google Adsense and use other alternatives? When you say share revenue, would these web 2.0 site help in getting my adsense approved?

        While you wait for your Adsense account to be approved, I am saying that it is an option to begin publishing to sites, that have their own adsense account, and earning through their own internal arrangements that allow you to earn off of their Adsense account.

        Essentially, you publish content there, and in return for their high search engine authority, you relinquish a % of the revenue share (depending on the site). Of course, like I had mentioned before, a site like this isn't exactly your own site....however, if you are determined to earn from Google Adsense, this would give you the opportunity to essentially leverage the account of someone else, at least for the time being.

        Once your account is approved, you can go ahead and strip your content and post it on your own site, if you would like.

        Some will be turned off by using a website that is not their own. I am merely stating this as an option.

            Sure.

            Personally, in the name of diversification as well as a much broader strategy, I have content all over the place--at several of these sites.

            You will find that they present with varying degrees of authority, not to mention, there are pros and cons to each.

            If your site is content rich (good tutorials, ever green content), you might be able to better sell ad space (banners/links) to other site owners. There are many sites that will sell ad space on your bahalf including BuySellAds. This would mean money in your pocket while you wait for your Adsense account to be approved.

            As for getting your site approved, go back over the emails sent to you by the Adsense people and try to work on any issues pointed out as preventing your site from being approved for Adsense.

    Alternatives of adsense aren't good, you have infolinks for example that's not bad though but it highlights text instead of having ads. Adbrite isn't good so I wouldn't recommend any thing else then adsense. If you have high traffic maybe you can try direct advertising

    The approval isn`t the hardest. Just make a website that you like, is unique in content, has a few great pages and then bring traffic to it.. don`t try to add adsense until you have traffic

    Hubpages and Squidoo are great places to start. It is also best to setup a Blogger blog and publish more than 5 high-quality posts devoid of ads and affiliate links/banners. Use this blog in your application.

    I didn't have anything special to get aprroval. You don't need anything fancy. I don't think I have any decent back links.

    Some things I made sure to have:

    1. A decent looking theme - I didn't use a free theme, though I'm sure you could. Just make it look nice and not from 1995. You can always change your theme later for the sake of CTR, but to get approval, use something pretty.

    2. No Ads - If you have other ads of affiliate links, ditch them until after approval.

    3. At least 10 pages - I didn't even have 10 posts, but if you do, that's even better. Just make sure they are original, and written well. No choppy unnatural English.

    4. Pictures - Original is better, but I just used photodropper.

    5. Contact, Privacy Policy containing Google/DART, a contact form - self explanitory

    6. A Sitemap

    7. Anything Else - If you have an LLC or official organization, make sure you list that in the footer or the About page. Again, you can always remove it after approval. If you are trying to just get it under your own personal name, you may need to provide more content (i.e. Some Vids of you instead of just blog posts/articles, to make it more personal and unique....again, you can remove them after approval).

    You should keep trying for adsense for getting approval from the adsense. Keep adding content on your website and try to apply again with more contents and old domains

    I think Google Starts Monopoly for the Adsense Publishers. They also do not approve new publisher quickly and also don't mentioned the appropriate reason for the unapproval of the application. They also starts disabled low earning publishers account without any warning email or showing a valid reason.

      Because adsense does not like your site, and its probably for obvious reasons.

      using words like declination, updation etc are actually trigger words for a ban. lol

    Now a days its tough to get approval from adsense they are so strict compare to earlier times. You should have old domain and very unique content for your site in order to get the approval from the adsense.

    Adsense can be quite strict about letting people in, and you need to make sure your website meets all of the requirements. If you still can't get accepted after tweaking your application form then you can apply for other ad networks like Chitika.
