Let’s get started!

1. Original Content

Google hates duplication. Having unique content is a key thing that Google AdSense looks for before approving. Elaborating on this plain truth, I would suggest you not copy-paste any content into your blog post. Furthermore, you should not try to trick Google with paraphrasing tools, or AI.

These days, Google has been apparently rejecting those blogs that do not offer anything unique and helpful content to the target audience. You can copy a little portion from other website provided that you have given proper attribution to the original site.

2. Blog Design

Create a clean site design that helps both viewers and Google bots. It doesn’t have to be overly professional but focus on making it clean, responsive, and well-organized. This way, visitors can quickly find what they’re looking for.

Avoid using too much pop-ups, banner ads and Promotional material while you are submitting for Adsense approval. Make sure to Add all important links to the header Navigation Menu and Footer menu.

I also recommend you to work on the speed improvement of the website. Try to fix errors given by Page Speed insights or any other tools like GTMetrixPingdom etc.

3. Required Elements

Before applying to Google AdSense, ensure you have created a few essential pages, such as ‘About,’ ‘Contact,’ ‘Privacy,’ and ‘Disclaimer.’ Additionally, make sure to set up proper widgets.

Make sure to remove all dummy pages and widgets that are present on the website before applying for Adsense approval. Remove all lorem ipsum dummy text as well. Otherwise, your site may be rejected due to site under-construction error.

Never Make your site under construction mode when you apply for google adsense

Most people just create dummy pages of About contact without Proper content on them. Make sure to write the About Us page properly with the Author’s information Like Name, Profile Pic, Educational qualifications etc.

Also, add a working email address and contact form to your Contact us page. Adding social media links also give a better impressions.

4. Consistency in Writing

Your writing trend should be regular and progressive. You may not need to write every day, or in compulsion. However. the trend should suggest that you are a horse of the long race.

The quality of blog posts should also be consistent over time. You should not trick Google with good initial blogs and further blogs posted carelessly.

I recommend you to publish at least 2-3 Blog posts per week. Also, create custom thumbnails for all of your blog posts according to the Brand color. Maintaining consistency in Brand color, Typography, Thumbnail design etc helps you stand out and chances of getting adsense approval increases.

5. Authority

Nowadays, people are suggesting that a well-revealed blogger with contact details is said to add to the authority of a blog website. Hence, based on my experience I would suggest that authority has also been considered as an advantage by the Google Adsense team.

To add authority, you should add an ‘about’ page and a page with contact details/form.

You can also build some quality backlinks to your website to increase domain authority. Although this is not that important but works as an added benefits.

6. Trustworthiness

The factual information and the arguments in your blog posts should be true and logical. The declaration of cookies policy, privacy policy, and advertisements/affiliation should be done in relevant pages like privacy policy, disclaimer, etc.

The blog should adhere to the regulations of geographical nation-states regarding cookie policy, privacy, advertisement, and more. Google AdSense will make you aware of these affairs.

If your Blog falls under the YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) Niches then you need to provide proper disclaimer on all of your Articles. Adsense Take these niches like health, finance, or well-being more seriously.

7. No Other Ad Networks

With Google AdSense, you should not implement other other Ad Networks in your blog/website. You can use another ad network along with adsense once you get the approval. But, while sending the site for approval, Make sure to remove other ad codes.

Note: You can still use few affiliate banner ads if you want but keep the quantity limited.

8. Website Traffic

Even though you are consistent in writing, you are not able to generate significant organic/social traffic. Your site may not be approved for Google Adsense. Hence, you should work in SEO and Community around the niche of your blog.

Try to bring traffic from Organic sources Like Google, Pinterest, Quora, and YouTube to your website. If you are not getting sufficient traffic, then there is no point in getting adsense approval.

Avoid buying traffic from unauthorized and shady websites. Google adsense closely monitor the quality of site traffic and it can also limit the number of ads or even suspend the account if you are getting invalid traffic.

Note: There is no problem running ads on Google, Facebook or other social media platforms, but buying traffic is not acceptable as most such website send bot traffic instead of real users.

9. Expertise

A random duplicate site is most likely not approved for Google AdSense Program Implementation. Instead, you should pour your own original expertise onto your blog. In such a scenario, your site will be most likely approved, even sooner than you expected.

10. SSL

I suggest that your site should have SSL certificates. Sites without SSL are not considered safe. Hence, Google will most likely not approve blog sites without SSL. Once you have SSL installed, you should enable your site to be loaded through https:// version.

11. Submitting

Keep submitting your content to the Google Search console. Even if it has been rejected you must resubmit the content after correcting the errors and drawbacks.

12. Use a Custom Domain

If you are using Blogger platform and still using the Blogspot subdomain, then I recommend you to invest in a custom Top level domain like .com, .in, .org etc. Adsense will give priority to custom domain as most people use free domains for spamming.

If you haven’t purchase the domain yet, then you can get one for cheap price from domain provider like Godaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger or CloudFlare.

13. Avoid Thin Category Pages

Don’t create multiple category instead you can create one category first and write at least 7-8 articles on them before moving to the next category. If you already created the categories then only add links of those category to the Menu where there is atleast 5-6 articles.

If Adsense team found 1-2 articles on a category, then you may get the error ‘Site is under construction‘.

14. Extra Tips For your Adsense Account Approval

For an additional tip to increase your chances of AdSense approval, I recommend you create a professional email ID or Gmail account, such as [email protected]. add this email ID to your website’s header or footer.

Pay close attention to your design, and make it clean, simple, and easily understand layout.

Additionally, prioritize intuitive navigation.
