#1 Custom Domain With premium Extension
A custom domain will make blog look more professional and also a premium extension (.com or org) will make it more SEO friendly. As we all know these extensions rank much higher in search Engine than any other Domain extensions. So, using these extensions with appropriate domain name will move you One step higher in getting an Adsense Account.
#2 Write Unique, In-depth, Attractive Content
A popular proverb “Content is King” will explain everything. If you really want to get approved by Adsense, then you must write unique, In-depth content (Minimum 500 words for beginners and 700 words for Intermediates). I have seen many newbies copy pasting articles and then trying to get approved from adsense. It will not happen if you do so, actually it will spoil all your future programs because adsense hates copyrighted duplicate content and they may never approve your account if you applied too many times with spam scraped content. Additionally, you also have to make it attractive using some CSS Work and related Images. It is a simple formula, if your content attracts Visitors then, it will surely attract Adsense and they will approve your account.
#3 Blog Design and Loading Speed Matters
As we know first impression is the last Impression. If your blog has an old fashioned look and it takes a lot of seconds to load then, forget about having an adsense account approved. So, work on your Blog Design, make everything attractive including Header, Sidebar, Body, Footer and also don’t compromise on site loading speed. These little things will make big difference in the end.
#4 Make Blog Posts Search Engine Friendly
Making every blog post search engine friendly will Increase chances of account approval. Adsense also use Robots to check every Web site and then decide to approve or Not. So, similarly to search Engine optimization process, you can make your blogs SEO friendly and make Adsense Robots accept account application.
#5 Produce Sufficient Content
Before applying for adsense, You must have 20-25 blog posts published and all posts should be distributed among different categories. Suppose you have 5 Categories and 25 Posts on your Blog then, each category must contain 5 posts. This is not an official word from adsense team but We recommend to follow this to Improve Account Approval chances.
#6 Don’t Forget to Include About Us, Privacy policy, Contact Pages
Privacy Policy is must have on Websites as explained by adsense team many years ago. Additionally About Us, Terms of Service, and Contact Us pages on your blog will improve approval chances.
#7 Relevancy is Most Important
Publishing relevant content to your domain name is most important both in search engine and also for adsense. I have seen many blogs getting approved with irrelevant content but those are exceptions. You must focus on two or three topics related to your domain and explain them briefly specially before apply for adsense.
#8 Traffic has very Little Importance
You must have thought of low page views after reading so much posts on internet saying you need more than 1000 Unique Visitors per day. In reality Adsense Team doesn’t care about visitors of your Blog, Only thing they care is Quality and Design of Blog. But still to make some Income you will need decent amount of traffic. So, I think, there is no need to tell you when to apply for Adsense.
#9 Avoid Prohibited Content
Any type of Prohibited Content (Pornography, Hacking, Cracking, or any other illegal Material) on your Blog may lead to Account Rejection. So, avoid using any of this material on your Blog to get Approved.
#10 Domain age (Minimum 6 Months)
Adsense has official words on this that blogs from India and China must be 6 months old to get approved. So, Newbie publishers from these two Countries have to wait for a period of 6 months before they can apply for Adsense.
But that 6 Month Period can be really painful for those who don’t have any financial Income or Students who spent all pocket money on their Blogs. So, For them, I will advice to create a Hosted Adsense Account with Hosted Websites. That will give them oppurtunity to make some Income in that 6 Months Time.
Popular Hosted Sites for Applying Hosted Adsense Account:-
- YouTube
- Blogspot
- HubPages
- Docstoc
