Google adsense approval process
When you submit your application, Google adsense crawler will visit your site. It will go through all posts and pages published on your blog. If it doesn’t find any content or navigation issues with your site, your blog will be manually reviewed by a Google engineer. The reviewer will check your site’s design, navigation, traffic stats, etc. If he is impressed or satisfied with your site, you’ll be accepted in adsense program, else you’ll get a rejection email from Google. Most of the blogs get rejected in the second round. Here are the key reasons why blog gets disapproved:Duplicate content: Google will never accept a blog that that features duplicate or scrapped content. If you’ve copied an article from other site and published it on your blog, no matter how many times you apply for adsense, your blog will never get approved. So make sure that your site is free from duplicate content. You can use tools like copyscape or plagspotter to find duplicate lines, statements or paragraphs in your blog posts.
Low traffic: The best and the easiest way to get an approved adsense account is to publish 3 or 4 unique and high quality articles 3 or 4 times a week for a few months. Once your site starts getting 1000+ visitors from Google or bing search engines, submit an a adsense application and ads will start showing on your blog.
Low quality content: MFA or thin affiliate sites are never accepted as their chances of ranking high in search engines are very low.
Important pages:Privacy policy, disclaimer, about me pages and contact forms are very important. Their presence indicate that a site is trustworthy. Every popular site running on the internet have these pages. Before you submit an adsense application, add these 4 pages. The contact form should have your valid email address. The privacy policy should include information on Google’s doubleclick cookie. About me page should include your photograph and details on your blog.
Poor navigation: Navigation is one of the most important part of a website. Top blogging platforms like WordPress or Blogger allows their users to setup drop down or menu based navigation easily. You don’t have to write any menu or paging code. But you may have to edit a few lines or two to customize the navigation (change color, font or menu name). Before applying for adsense, make sure that your site has a menu bar and a paging system.
I’ve worked with advertising networks like Chitika, media.net, bidvertizer, eDomz. They’re low paying. Media.net might pay you well if your site gets good traffic from United States, Australia, Europe or Canada. Thus there’s no perfect alternative to Google adsense. If your blog is being disapproved, you can signup for an affiliate program to earn money online.
