Adsense terms of use and policy are just not easy to abide by so many publishers which contribute to a large number of rejected publishers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, some publishers also fail to fulfil basic requirements by Adsense which also contribute to a large number of publishers being rejected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, I will lay down the DOs and tips that will help you get your <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adsense\/answer\/9724?hl=en\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adsense account approved<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/adstargets.com\/blog\/how-to-get-approved-by-google-adsense\/#1_Use_a_real_Domain\" >1.

Use a real Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By buying, hosting and using a custom domain such as yoursite.com, yousite.info, yoursite.net shows how serious you are which in the eyes of the admin approving your account sees signs of commitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will have to spend some dollars buying a domain and a hosting plan all less than $50 but in a long-run, you will have a huge return on your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Have_all_Legal_pages\"><\/span>2. Have all Legal pages <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having all the legal pages such as about us, Contact us, policy privacy, terms of use are very important for Adsense. This shows you mean business and eliminates the questions of legitimacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having those pages on your website or blog will help dramatically in getting your AdSense account approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also create an email using your domain such as info@goursite.com which your users can use to contact you would help to get your account approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Creating_quality_and_relevant_content\"><\/span>3. Creating quality and relevant content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After having all these, now you are set to start creating quality and relevant content. I mean this because your content plays a major role when it comes to getting your Google AdSense account approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write content that is valuable, it should be original and created by you or your colleagues. Create content that is aimed at helping people solve problems and improve their way of life or their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be consistent with your content curation so they can see you are serious and have a long term content strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Promoting_for_some_traffic\"><\/span>4.

It is important to have some traffic coming in before you can apply for AdSense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you might not have a lot of traffic at the beginning, you should make sure you have some traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can promote your content on social media through content marketing platforms and or have some organic traffic from search engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will put you in a better position to getting your account approved by AdSense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dont_display_other_Ads\"><\/span>5. Don&#8217;t display other Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Adsense will always have 100% fill rates, meaning well optimise Adsense account will always show ads on your website or blog. For this, you do not need to use other networks according to Adsense reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So please, try to avoid having other ads shown on your website or blog at the time your Google Adsense account is under review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Your_Design_matters\"><\/span>6. Your Design matters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bulky and complicated blogs or website designs are NOT recommended at all while applying for Adsense approval. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to keep things cleans and simple so your users or visitors will find it easy to navigate your website or blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bulky and complicated designs have a negative impact on your general blogs or website performance which is something you need to take note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might slow down your website and page load time which again might lead to your application been declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Avoid_shady_traffic_sources\"><\/span>7. Avoid shady traffic sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do NOT buy traffic for Adsense or try to get traffic from shady traffic sources in order to monetise your Adsense account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will get your Adsense account application declined and banned if you are already accepted and start publishing ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeps things clean and transparent. Telling people to click on your blog ads in order to increase your clicks or impressions for higher earnings also could be detected and contribute to your account application rejected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is better to play safe here by getting your traffic only from legitimate and recommended traffic sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Avoid_copyright_violations\"><\/span>8. Avoid copyright violations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not copy other people&#8217;s content and paste on your webpages and claim its yours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could be one of the worst mistakes you will make. Google, in general, is highly against plagiarism and policy violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Avoid_illegal_products_or_services\"><\/span>9. Avoid illegal products or services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you don&#8217;t have any listings of illegal products and services.
