Google Adsense Mastery Basics How To Sign Up For AdSense And Get Approved

IN PROGRESS

Steps to Getting Approved

AdSense has recently changed the account approval process to include the following
steps:

1. Sign up for AdSense.

2. You get an instant account where you need to add AdSense ads to your blog.
3. Wait while your account is reviewed and either accepted or rejected (this takes about 2 weeks).
Although the new AdSense account approval process is quite lengthy, the process will
ultimately help us to maintain the quality of AdSense for all users.

It is also important to make sure your blog or website is abiding by AdSense policies
before being accepted.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an AdSense Account:

First, go to the signup page for AdSense. You can either create a new Google account
or you can choose to use your existing Google account. If you have a domain-specific
email address, I suggest you use that to sign up for your AdSense account. Otherwise,
use your existing Gmail address.

Note: To date, I have seen many people find greater success using domain-specific
email addresses. You can create a domain specific email using Google Apps (which is
another Google service) & it costs $5/month/user.
Phone Verification:
I have only started seeing this kind of verification in 2017. If you see a phone verification
screen, simply verify your number.
Website Details (First stage of AdSense application):
This form is straight-forward. You simply need to enter your website address and select
the content language.

For the website URL, use your blog’s web address, and make sure to add it without
“HTTP://” or “HTTPS://”
AdSense Contact Information:
This is the most important part, and I remember making a couple of mistakes here
while I was first signing up. I hope to prevent you from making the same mistakes with
the instructions in this guide.
The “Payee name” is very important. Make sure to use the same name under which
you have a bank account. AdSense will be sending you a check or EFT payment
under that name only. If you make a mistake here, changing the payee name of your
account will be difficult, especially in many Asian countries like India, Pakistan,
Thailand, etc. Here is the list of countriesthat are not allowed to change the payee name
after signing up. Ensure your bank account name and payee name are exactly the
same.
Next add your contact information and fill in the other details.

Accept AdSense Policies:

Read the AdSense policiesand put a checkmark in all three boxes.
Once done, click on “Submit”, and on the next page you can review your details. Make
sure that all the details are accurate and up to date.

In my case, it took about 3 days to get the approval email. This is what it looks like:

Even though I was submitting this new AdSense application just for this tutorial, it
still felt really nice to see the approval email. But you should know that this is
only Phase#1 of getting AdSense approval. To get fully approved, you need to create
and add the AdSense code on your blog. Let’s look at how to do that…
