Every advertisement that is somehow can potentially be shown on your blog or website takes part in it. In this auction, the winner is chosen by his “quality” and it is not just that the highest bidder wins.

1.      Cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) are an income model where the promoters have to pay you a predetermined price per thousand advert impressions.

2.      Cost-per-engagement (CPE), in this case, the visitor needs to fulfill some predetermined actions like watch a video ad, finishing a poll, etc.

4. Age Verification

The young bloggers usually end up making this mistake, they are mostly of eighteen years or less. They get into trouble writing wrong age. While applying for an AdSense account, use your correct DOB and age.

5. Design

This is an important step; your blog design is something that matters a lot. The design should not be like a chaotic photo gallery, it should be like professional. Clean, smart design and professional design is acceptable by Google.

6. Content Type

Google AdSense is not for pirated content, pornographic, drugs, illegal items or other blogs like that, so be careful of the type of content you publish. AdSense team will also not allow you to write a blog if you apply for a Non-English Blog. Not only is that, but also publishing posts less than 200 words in length are shown a Red Signal by Google team.

7. Top Level Domain

Those old days are far behind when the AdSense team used to approve “WordPress.com” and “Blogspot” Blogs. Today, for a specific blog you must have your own unique domain. With Subdomains stop dreaming about getting accepted.
