How I got my Google Adsense Fully Approved in Less than a Month

This post is for all those publishers who are looking for a fast Adsense approval ,Adsense is unarguably the best Advertising network and it can boost your income in no time. Adsense policy states that you need to wait for 6 months if you are applying from India or China, but I don't seem to agree with that ,getting an approval is always tough since they are looking for potential publishers for their advertisers ,however if you follow all the their policies,this task really seems easy.

In this post I will explain you what all I have done in order to get adsense application approved and steps to take before applying for adsense.

Important factors for Adsense approval:

Below I mentioned the things which I have taken care of before applying for Google Adsense publisher program.

Content 

Content is king, if you have high quality content nothing can stop you from getting approval.Now I have seen many blogs getting approval in the past , main reason being Content.Adsense policies haven't mentioned about number of articles ,but your blog should have more than 20 articles to get approval.

Good design

Although design is not the top most priority for getting adsense approval ,however I still believe most of the application which are rejected  due to bad template.If you have good design, adsense team will find it attractive to approve your account.

Disclose information

Adding a privacy page is mandatory,this is what I think,I have taken part in many adsense forums and found out from my research that and most of the rejected applications don't contain privacy page.

• Check our Privacy Policy Page

Why privacy page is important?

You need to disclose information such as what information you are going to collect from your readers eg IP address,Browser info,email address,location and may share this information with third party (Google analytics) for promotional purposes .You  got to ensure that your website is safe to use.And you also need to ensure that your visitors privacy is important to you.


Same goes with About us page, here you need to disclose your information about your website ,what is it really all about.

Avoid plagiarism 

Don't copy articles or images or from others website without permission ,adsense hates this and it would be better if you too avoid it ,to be on the safer side ,because it may eventually result into plagiarism

Tips to avoid plagiarism

Give credit before using others images
Paraphrase another persons words used in articles.

• Don't apply immediately after disapproval ,wait for a week to pass make some necessary changes and then apply
• Apply from different email accounts.This is one of the best tricks which you a can use too If you get disapproval first time , then make sure next time use different email account.
• Never post about pornography or pornographic content(Adsense doesn't approve such sites)Never mention jail breaking on your site.

Now a days to get approval you need to pass 2 review process.If you pass first step of review you have liberty to place adsense code in your website , but again they monitor and if it meets all the requirements ads start to appear on your website , the final review process takes about a week,so after getting approval in first process ,it is important that you have descent pageviews otherwise you might fail to get approval.

Final words:

"If you are disapproved by adsense , don't loose hope,keep trying because my application was rejected thrice,before I got a full approval".

Best Alternatives to Google Adsense 2013

It is the best ad network that comes from the search giant Google, and lets you to display ads on your blog/website. Most of the websites/blogs on the web, use Adsense to earn money, but for obvious reasons, one may not like the Adsense. These obvious reasons are mostly the hard approval into network and ban of accounts due to illegal activity. Though Google just announced that it will no longer ban Adsense account, but still many people search for its alternatives daily, this might be because of not getting approved by Adsense. Well, whatever the reason is, I am here with the list of best Adsense alternatives.

Top Best Google Adsense Alternatives:

Yahoo Bing Ads(Media.NET)-Highly Recommended:

Media.NET partnered with Yahoo and Bing and came up to form a new advertising network.This is the best alternative to Google Adsense from my point of view.I have been using this network since few days and the income is awesome. Infact my income generated from Yahoo Bing Ads is more than Google Adsense which is surprising.

• Easy approval if you have a good site.
• If you have many sites,more than 5 then the chance of getting approved are more.
• You will be guided with a Sales Representative to maximize your income.
• You wont get banned suddenly for invalid click activity or click bombing.
• All the options available for premium publishers of Google Adsense are available for all Publishers as Media.NET treats everyone as their premium publisher.
• Infact its better than Google Adsense if you have a micro-niche site because their ads can be targeted to specific keywords which will show very relevant ads to maximize the income potential of your blog or website.

BuySellAds:

This ad network has grown tremendously in the past some time and that's why shines at the top in this list of Google Adsense alternatives. The concept of this rapidly growing ad network is totally different from Adsense. It can be called as marketplace to sell/buy ad spaces. As a blogger, you are required to apply for BuySellAds account. Once you get approved, you list the ad spaces of your blog at decent rate. Advertisers purchase the ad spaces and you get paid. The best thing is that your earning get fixed in this and there is not any heart attack of getting banned by them. Moreover, you set the ad space price, from your own.

This is a new network to monetize your website with exit traffic.When a visitor leaves your website it will show a pop-up with and ad.When visitor click on the ad you will get paid.This is a new innovative advertising method.Works well if your site has good traffic.

Adversal:

Adversal is also one of the best google adsense alternative.Basically its a pop up based ad network.You will get paid for every visitor.So it has a great potential to make money if your site has good traffic.

Chitika:

Chitika is well-renowned ad network that competes with Google Adsense. Like Adsense, it also pays when someone clicks on the ads getting display on your blog. The cost per click may not be so good for traffic coming from the parts other than U.S. and U.K. But if you have traffic from these locations, then you can make hell lot money from Chitika. You can refer your friends and can earn the commission. Minimum payout is $10 via PayPal, while $50 via cheque.

Infolinks:

Infolinks is in-text advertising network. Means, when you use Infolinks on your blog, it converts the normal text into clickable ads. The best part about the Infolinks is that getting approved into their network is damn simple and you can start running the in-text ads on your blog, as soon as you apply for it. The cost per click is not that much as you get in Google Adsense, but as the mode of advertising is totally different, so there is always a higher CTR in Infolinks as compared to that of Adsense. Some bloggers even tag this ad network as the best alternative to Google Adsense. While the ad network is very popular, but some SEO experts claim that using the Infolinks may kill your visibility in the search engines as in Infolinks, your normal text, including your targeted keywords gets converted into clickable links. This may make a spam-type image of your blog in Google's eyes. The Minimum payout is $50 via PayPal, while $300 via Bank Wire Transfer.

Kontera is also in-text advertising network that converts the normal text into ads. When someone clicks on them, you get paid. Your blog must have good page impressions to get approved into the system. It does compete strongly with both of Google Adsense and Infolinks. You can withdraw the money, once it touches $50 mark.

Adbrite:

Adbrite has always been considered as one of the best Adsense alternatives. Once you get approved into system, Adbrite puts a banner on your blog, showing the sale of that particular ad slot. Getting approved into the network is very easy, but your success in Adbrite solely depends on your blog's popularity. If it s quite popular, then advertisers contact you to buy ad space. The price for the ad space is set up by you. When any advertiser shows his/her interest in displaying ads on your blog, it is completely up to you that you want to accept the ads or not. You can sell the ad space on weekly, monthly basis. The minimum payout is $100 via PayPal.

Clicksor:

They approve any blog, if it is totally new. Clicksor offers all type of advertising like In-Text, Contextual. The pop-up ads are also part of Clicksor. Though this ad network is good challenge to Google's Adsense, but sometimes it shows irrelevant ads, mostly the adult ads. You can withdraw your earned money to your PayPal account, once it touches $50 count.

How to Increase Google Adsense Revenue

When coming to advertising solution Google Adsense comes first in the mind of every blogger.They are the highest paying network currently regardless of the niche of Blog.In this article I will be discussing few best Adsense placements and best performing Ad units  from my experience to maximise Google Adsense Revenue.

Increase Google Adsense Revenue

Tips to Maximize Google Adsense Revenue:

Your Adsense income is primarily dependent on following factors.

1. Traffic.
2. Cost Per Click(CPC)
3. Click Thorough Rate(CTR).

Here we will be discussing ways to improve all the above mentioned factors so that your Adsense Income will also boost up.

Best Performing Ad Units:

When coming to Ad units size bigger is better.Larger ad units perform well compared to small ad units.

Some of the best performing ad units are 300*250,336*280,300*600,160*600.

Recently 300*600 (Half Page Ad)  was available only for Premium Adsense Publishers but now Google Adsense went ahead and made this available for all to maximise revenue.

• But that was not the case 300*600 Half Page Ad didn't perform well as expected.

Best Ads Placement:

Proper Ads placement is the key factor for generating high CTR.The best Ads placement from my experience are.

Best Ads Placement

Top of Posts below Title:

• This is the most preferred place to get maximum number of clicks.
• Ad units like 300*250,336*280,468*60 and 728*90 would work like charm in this position.

Just after ending the Post:

• From my experience this is the best place to get high CTR.
• Place a ad unit just below the post left inclined.
• Here is strongly suggest you to use 336*280 Ad Unit.

In Between the Posts:

• If you are writing a lengthy posts then place text link ads or banner ads in between the posts.
• Though placing ads manually may trouble you but can generate good CTR.

Use Maximum Number of Ad Units:

To earn more revenue from Adsense you must be using maximum number of ad units per page.Google Adsense allows only 3 Banner Ads and 3 Text Link Ads per page which is very much sufficient.

Note:Premium Adsense publishers can use upto 6 Banner Ads per page.Another way to show more than 3 ads per page is via Google Double Click.

Few Important Aspects to consider:

• I read at many places saying that reducing the number of Ad Units can increase the CPC.But it didn't prove right from my experience. Adsense CPC is completely dependent on the source of traffic and the country location.So to generate maximum income take advantage of maximum number of Ad Units.
• Do not place too many ads which will effect loading time and may annoy the visitors.

Include High CPC Keywords in your Articles:

Google displays ads relevant to the keywords in the article.If you include few keywords like Buy Laptops,Buy Antivirus then generally high cpc ads will be displayed.

• I recommend you to check Google Adwords Keywords tool to find out the cpc of each keyword.

Target US/Canada Traffic:

US,UK,Canada visitors CPC is very high.So if you can write articles targeting these nations then you can earn handsome amount from not only Google Adsense but also many other Advertising Networks.

Do not Place Ads Side By Side:

Avoid placing ads side by side especially on top and bottom of the posts.

Use Text Link Ads Below Menubar:

Text Link ads below menu bar perform well as they resemble categories of a blog.

Should you replace 300*250 Google Adsense Ad Unit with 300*600 Half Page Ad?

Google Adsense recently introduced 300*600 Large Rectangle(Which is often called as a Half Page Ad).Previously this ad unit was available for only Premium Adsense Publishers but now Google Adsense went ahead and made it open for all.So,now all the Adsense Publishers can use 300*600 ad unit on their blogs and websites.

• How to get Google Adsense Approval Fast?.

Advantages of 300*600 Half Page Ad Unit:

Adsense Ads are always bigger the better.Surveys say that larger ad units perform well than smaller ad units.300*600 Ad unit made available for all because of following reasons;

• To increase CTR(Click Through Rate).Large banner ads can generate more clicks.
• More Clicks = More Earning.
• Generally Larger Banner Ads lead to higher CPM(Cost Per Mile or Thousand Impressions) and CPC(Cost Per Click).

Review of 300*600 Ad Unit:

I always keep on testing the performance of Ad Units at various placement by conducting split testing.Similarly I experimented 300*600 Large Rectangle by replacing it with 300*250 Right Side Ad on my blog.The results were as follows.

After replacing 300*250 rectangle with 300*600 the results were as follows.The below screen shot shows the performance of 300*600 Half Page Ad.

300*600 Ad Unit Performance Report

The Ad Unit has generated income of $7 thorough 32,111 views with a CPC of $0.11.

Similarly you can check out the Ad Performance of 300*250 Ad Unit from below screenshot.

300*250 Ad Unit Performance

This Ad unit has generated over $12.43 through 23,891 views with a CPC of $0.25.

300*250 VS 300*600: 

From the above reports its clear that 300*250 Ad Unit has out performed 300*600 Ad unit.In terms of CPC also Medium Rectangle has performed well compared to Half Page Ad.

Why 300*600 Ad Unit didn't perform well?

There are many reasons which I 

analysed after testing both Ad Units.

• 300*600 Ad units are new and many of the advertisers not yet started using these ad units.
• Shows up only few image ads.Generally image ads cpc will be higher compared with Text Link ads.So, lesser images ads means lesser cpc generated.
• The worst thing is that most of the time these ads remain 50% blank and sometimes even 75% blank without any ads.The text ads shows also are ads with very less cpc.Which doesn't generate much income to you.

Conclusion:

Currently I suggest you to stick with 300*250 Medium Rectangle.After few days more and more advertisers will be turning towards Half Page Ads,then you can start using 300*600 ads which can generate more income in future.Let me know your opinion in your comments below.

What to do if you don't get Google Adsense Approval?

Google Adsense is the first advertising network that comes to mind of every blogger to monetize any blog irrespective of the niche.They deliver very relevant ads to any niche blog.This is the thing that makes them unique from other advertising networks.But as you know its not that easy to get an adsense approval.Now a days getting an adsense account has became even more difficult.

• I already wrote a article on - How to get Google Adsense Approval Fast? 

After following the above steps if you are still not able to get an adsense approval then you must follow the below tips.

Things to do if you don't get Google Adsense Approval:

1.Share Google Adsense with others:

You will be definitely having some friend or fellow blogger who already has an active adsense account.Join him and earn money.

• Get an invitation to share revenue from Adsense with your friends Adsense account.
• Google recently introduced this features in which you can share a single adsense accounts with multiple members.
• Create separate channels and track your earnings.

Is it harmful to share adsense account with others?

The answer is yes and no.

• If your fellow blogger has a quality blog and after trying all ways still not able to get an adsense account of his own then there is no trouble in sharing an account with him.
• Avoid sharing your adsense account with those bloggers who have blogs with low quality content and less traffic.

Precautions to be taken before sharing adsense account with others:

• Share Adsense account only with trusted people.The newly joined members will have power to remove the actual admin so be careful with that.
• Don't authorise any sites under Authorise section except the one for which you got an adsense approval.
• Start revenue sharing only with those bloggers who have a quality site with high traffic.

2.Try Alternatives:

There is no perfect competator for Google Adsense as of now.But there are few advertising networks whose income is almost near to the income generated from Google Adsense.

If you have a blog with 1000 unique visitors per day then you must be generating around 3-5$ per day on an average from Google Adsense.So,if you pick some alternative which is generating an income about 2-4$ per day per 1000 visitors then you should be happy with the network which you are using.

Some of the Adsense alternatives are:

• BuySellAds: Its very tough to get approved for BSA.If you get approved for buysellads then you can earn more than what you can actually earn from Google Adsense if you have a niche site related to blogging,SEO etc.
• Tribal Fusion :These are CPM based ads.Your website should have atleast 10,000 visitors per day to get an approval.
• Infolinks(Highly Recommended):In Text Link Advertising network.This network is highly recommended for small publishers who are searching for an adsense alternative.Their CPM is very good ranging from $1-4.
• We will be sharing some more adsense alternatives in a separate post.Some more are clicksor,chitika,kontera etc.
• Check complete list of Google Adsense Alternatives.

3.Try Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate Marketing might be a little tough in the initial stages of blogging but once you become familiar and start selling few products your confidence will boost and you will never again look back to Google Adsense.The best affiliate networks are clickbank,amazon,neverblue etc.

4.Direct Advertisement:

This is the best method but only works if your blog has reasonably good amount of traffic and having a proper niche.Direct banner advertisements can give more than what you earn from Google Adsense.

Follow the below tips to get your ad spaces sold:

• Build a niche blog.
• Have a contact form on your blog for the people who are interested in advertising on your blog.
• Join few forums like Digital Point where you can directly deal with the advertisers and sell your ad spaces.
• If your blog is having a reasonably good amount of traffic then contact advertisers directly and show your traffic reports.Ask them to advertise on your blog to increase their products sales instantly.

5.Earn Money by Offering Services:

If you are good at something then you can also offer services to others and earn money.

• For example I am good at SEO,Web Designing related stuff.So here I offer services related to them and earn money.

Conclusion:

The first thing to do if you don't get an adsense approval is "Don't Panic".Be patient and improve your skills.There are many ways to earn even without adsense. If you depend on something then you will always become dependent.So always keep few alternatives with you.Choose the one which works the best.

How to Get Google Adsense Approval Fast?

Google Adsense is the first Ad Network that comes to mind of every Blogger to monetize their blog and earn a decent money from it.But most of them fail to get approved for adsense. Even though they get approval their dreams shatter eventually once Google Adsense Team sends them a mail stating that "Your Adsense Account has been disabled..." for some or the other reason.I hope you are very familiar with Google Adsense program and moving on to guide you some Killer Tips to Get Approved for Adsense Fast.

Is it that difficult to get into Adsense Program?

Yes,it is difficult to partner with Google Adsense network but its not impossible.To get into Adsense program all you need is a blog/website with high quality content with a good aged domain.

Commonly Asked Questions about Adsense:

How Long Should a new Blog/Website wait to get approved for Adsense?

Google didn't mention about this anywhere in their policies about the domain age and age of the blog.However your blog/website should be minimum 3 months old to get full approval for Adsense.Asian countries like India,China,Pakistan etc should wait for 6 months before applying with their new blog/website.

Is Adsense no longer accepting Applications from India,China,Pakistan and some other Asian Countries?

The answer is no.

Google Adsense is still accepting applications from Asian countries but these blogs are monitored and examined well before full approval.If your website lacks in any of those criteria,you will not be eligible to partner with Google Adsense Program.

A member of Google Adsense Team said that "A blog with 6 months old domain whether it may be from India,China or US,Canada with fresh high quality content and which follows all the Google Adsense Guidelines can partner with Adsense Publisher Program".

Is this 6 Months limit Reasonable?

Well honestly speaking yes.

It takes time for any blog/website to grow and establish.This criteria not only reduces spam applications but also encourages high quality websites.So I recommend you to be patient and wait for 6 months,try to get at least 1000 page views per month(According to Google Analytics Stats) then apply for Adsense.

Does Adsense Reject your Application without a Reason?

No,there should be some reason for your adsense application getting rejected.

Common Reasons why your AdSense Application was Rejected:-

• Content Issues:If your website contains copyrighted,Hacking/Cracking,Pirated Softwares etc content then your adsense application wont get approved for sure.Though got approved will get banned in the second review of your Adsense Account.
• Design Issues:Generally this is not considered to be one of the issues but its recommended to have a clean,simple site design/Theme.
• Navigation Problems:Sometimes adsense applications get rejected stating that the site is not easily navigable.So make sure that your site is easily navigable.To make your site easily navigable Label each post,Include a menu bar,Use at least one Search bar.
• Under Construction Sites:Sites which are not complete and with less number of posts will be considered as under construction sites.Don't apply for adsense using such sites.
• Languages:AdSense only supports few languages which are widely spoken which are mentioned at AdSense Supported Languages. If your website is rejected for non-supported language then you can’t do anything.

How To Get Approved For Adsense Fast?

1.Fresh,High Quality Content:

The basic and primary criteria for getting your blog/website approved for Adsense is content of your blog.As I always say Content is the King.If your website has high quality content then it may get approved for adsense in the first attempt itself.

What is Fresh and High Quality Content?

Fresh and high quality content is always a big question to all web masters,So what does Fresh and High  Quality content means?

Content which is unique,easily understandable and written by you is called as Fresh content.Spinning others articles and reproducing it doesn't mean as unique content.Articles with good images and video tutorials add great value to the articles.Overall content which is useful,in depth and easily understandable by the readers is High Quality Content.

2.Domain Age:

This factor was not considered as one of the criteria to get approved for adsense previously.But because of too many spam adsense applications Adsense Team decided to consider domain age as one of the major factor to get full adsense approval.

If you have a well established website/blog with high quality content then you may get approved for adsense with a 3 months old domain.If your website is still growing then the age of domain should be at least 6 months.

3.Site Design/Theme:

It's good to have a simple,clean and easily navigable site design.As mentioned earlier navigation issues is one the main reasons for your adsense application getting rejected.So have a good simple site Design.

• Easily Navigable Design.
• Distraction Free Colours.
• Easily accessible Search Box.
• Links to important pages like Privacy Policy,Disclaimer,About Us and Achieve Pages.
• Easy social Sharing Buttons.
• Internal linking to relevant posts.
• A Menu Bar at the top.
• Link to Google Plus Profile.

4.Traffic and Rank of website:

Google Adsense Team doesn't look at your Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank but if you have good ranks then chances of your application getting approved will be higher.Its recommended to apply for adsense after receiving at least 1000 page views per day.

• Minimum Traffic of 500 Unique Visitors per day.
• At least 60% traffic from Search engines especially Google.
• If you have more traffic from US and Canada then its a plus point.

5.Number of Posts:

Only apply if your site has good number of posts.It is advised to have minimum of 30-50 posts.Ideally I would recommend you to have 100 posts to increase the chances of approval.

6.Read and Follow Google Adsense T&S Carefully:

If you have not read Google Adsense Terms and Conditions then I suggest you to read them thoroughly now.

7.Privacy Policy page, Disclaimer page,Blog Achieve and Terms of use Pages:

• Privacy Policy Page:It should cover all the information that you collect and store from the visitors of your website.You should also mention about tracking cookies.A special note about Google Advertising Program will be very helpful.You can check our Privacy Policy Page as an example.
• Disclaimer Page:In this page mention clearly about the copyright status of your content.If it is written by you then mention that the "content is strictly copyrighted by you and cannot be reproduced anywhere on web".
• Blog Achieve:In this page you list all the articles of your blog.Though not mandatory its good to have a achieve page to go through all the blog articles.
• Terms of Use:This is optional . Doesn't make much difference though you include it or not.

8.Own Email ID:

Having your own email id is also not mandatory but it will increase the chances of getting approval fast.Example of own email id is admin@google.com.

Reapply After Making Necessary Corrections:

If your application once got rejected then its not the end.You can reapply any number of times.

• Correct the mistake which is mentioned in the Email you have received for getting rejected.
• Don't apply more than one application at once.
• Apply a fresh application at least after one month.
• Don't be in a hurry to get adsense account.You may not earn much if you don't have good traffic.You don't earn good amount of money unless and until your traffic reaches 1000 visits per day.

Conclusion:

Though there are many other ways you can earn a decent amount of money from your blog like Affiliate Marketing,Adsense is given first priority because you can daily have few dollars in your account.Its the most affordable ppc program in the market.Its not that easy to get into Google Adsense program and at the same time its not impossible as well.

Don't fall for the people who say that they will provide you Adsense account for free.These are just scams.Though your application gets approved they will be banned soon once they are reviewed by Google Adsense Team.
