7 Things to Do Before Applying for Google AdSense

Getting Google AdSense Approved
Getting a Google AdSense account approved is the dream of every blogger who dreams of earning fairly through blogging. If you too are in the same blog, we have herewith accumulated a list of things to do before you apply for Google AdSense.

7 Things You Must Do For Getting AdSense Approved Account

1. Privacy Policy

This is one of the frequent mistakes that every new blogger does before getting approved. The first thing you need is to get an approval of privacy policy of your blog or website. You don’t have a set of the privacy policy for your blog, you cannot get approval, as simple as that.

2. Contact Us Page

Build a contact us page, add your email (professional) there, like abcd@efgblog.com and links to your social profile too. By building this page, you are showing Google that you care for your visitors and you are ready to help them. They can contact you anytime they want.

3. Name/ Email Verification

When you submit the approval form don’t forget to put your Name and Email address on pages like Contact Us and About Me. This will help the Google AdSense Team to confirm that it is not some crappy bots, spam, but it is the same person who applied for AdSense. This will facilitate the Google team in the verification process.

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.


These are some of the many things you should implement on your blog before applying for AdSense. Did we miss anything? Feel free to write back!

3 Reasons You Should Not Use AdSense On Your Business Website

why not to use business website
Why Not to Use Adsense for Business Website
Although AdSense requires no formal introduction, it is important for the newbies to know that AdSense is an ad placement program sponsored by Google wherein an ad is places on your website which is in same domain/niche as your blog or website is. This in turns helps in making a few cents to dollars depending on the traffic you get every time a visitor clicks on the ad.

Sounds delicious? It is! But wait, it might not be good for your business! Confused?

Here are a few reasons AdSense might not be as tempting as it sounds if you are a business owner!


Why Say No to AdSense?

  1.  It Cheapens Your Brand!

To make money with ease from your own home, the most alluring opportunity is to start a blog or launch a website. However, that’s not it! In order to be able to stay competitive; you got to take excellent care of your brand.  One of the most significant priorities of any blogger or webmaster is “Online branding”. When you begin to monetize your blog or website with different sorts of ads, you are directly decreasing the meaning of your own business brand name. You are in fact cheapening your product or brand value with different AdSense ad you introduce on the pages of your website. Using AdSense, you are promoting someone else brand instead of promoting yours, this turns out to be totally unnecessary and unprofessional.

  2. You Are Providing an Opportunity to Your Competitors

Again, since AdSense is a contextual program, the advertisements it provides are related to the content of your web page. So for instance, if your website is regarding technology, mobile phones and other high tech innovative gadgets, and you are using AdSense, now what AdSense will do is, will place commercials on your online pages for products and services that are linked to the technology business, and are comparable to your own products and services. Thus this will provide an opening for your business rivals to leverage their brand name using the sister platform of AdSense – the AdWords program.

To elucidate further, your competitor can force himself by purchasing sponsored advertisement by means of the AdWords system. By optimizing its campaign through unique keywords, your rival can effortlessly reach a corner of your website through AdSense that too with less cost. While this can cost you a great amount of money than the cents-per-clicks you would make from AdSense. No doubt, this can eventually hurt your online business.

  3. Every Click Means You Have Gained a Higher Bounce Rate and Lost a Reader

Only with a single click on AdSense advertisements, opens on the same window, and not in another tab. Although the reader without a doubt can click the “back” button, the odds of this happening are slim. Hence, with each click, it is absolutely clear that you lost a reader. Additionally, AdSense ads can also confuse your visitors if the advertisements do not mix well enough with your site’s design. Each click also means you also have a higher bounce rate, since your reader is in reality leaving your webpage every time they click on an AdSense advertisement.
