How to join Adsense
How to join Adsense
In late 2008,
Google tightened up their acceptance policies. According to an email I received from someone who was trying to
join the program, you now must meet the following criteria before you are accepted...
- Your website must be your own top-level domain (www
.domain.com and not domain.com/mysite). That means you can't just sign up with a free
blogger or free
web hosting account and get approved for
google AdSense.
- Your
domain name must have been registered and active for at least 6 months before you apply
- The registration information that you provide during the
AdSense registration must match your domain name registration information
- Your website must contain a substantial amount of original content
Once you meet the above criteria, go to
http://adsense.google.com to apply.
When you are accepted, simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any page that you'd like to show the ads. If you've done a good job of defining the content on your web pages, the ads that show should be relevant to the content of your page...increasing the chances of click-thrus by your
visitors.You can either display the ads vertically along side the page like Google does or in a banner-like formation horizontally across your pages. The placement is up to you. You can even customize the colors to match your site's theme.
