As a blogger you have
surely heard of the AdSense program from Google, one of the best contextual
advertisement programs available.
In this post, I will
demonstrate how you can create an AdSense account for your website.
There are many AdSense alternatives available, but no matter what network you try, you
will likely find that Adsense is the best. If you have some marketing skills,
however, you may also want to look into affiliate marketing. My post
on Affiliate vs AdSense will give you my personal insights on both networks.
When I started blogging, “Adsense”
was a foreign concept to me. When I initially signed up for
Adsense, I needed help from my friends, and I still was not sure I was
doing everything right.
For beginners who are not familiar
with Adsense, it is an advertisement program for publishers started
by Google (See Wiki details),
wherein contextual ads are placed on your blog, and you get paid when
someone clicks on these ads.
In this blog post I present an
essential guide for beginners who are not sure how to apply for Adsense.
There are few requirements which you
must meet before you can apply for Adsense. First, of course,
you need to have a website. You also must be above the age of 18,
otherwise you will need to apply using the name of a parent or guardian who
gives you permission to do so.
Watch this video to understand what
your blog needs to have in place before you apply for AdSense:
Steps
to create an Adsense account:
Adsense has recently changed the
account approval process to include the following steps:
- Sign up for Adsense
- Add Adsense ads to your blog
- Wait while your account is reviewed and either accepted or rejected
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 applying.
Also, be sure to read the terms and
conditions mentioned on the signup page to learn more about AdSense.
Following are the steps you need
to take to sign up for Adsense:
Step-by-Step
Guide to Creating an AdSense Account:
First, go to the Signup page for AdSense, and you will see an
option to 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
Shouters finding greater success using domain-specific email
addresses.
Website Details:
This form is straight-forward, as
you simply need to enter your website address and select the content language.
For the website
URL use your blog address, and make sure to add it without HTTP://
Adsense contact information:
This is the most important part, and
I remember making a couple of mistakes while signing up which I hope to prevent
you from making 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,
as Adsense will be sending you a check or EFT payment under that name. If you
make a mistake here, changing the payee name of your account would be difficult
in many countries including India. Here is the list of countries which are not allowed to change the payee name after
signing up. So 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:
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.
Signing up with your email account:
You can use your current email
address to sign up, or you can create a new gmail ID for Adsense. For
fast approval, I would suggest you to use ZohoMail, and create a free
domain-specific email address.
In my case, when I tried to sign
up using a generic gmail address, I was rejected four times.
However, when I later applied using a domain-specific email
address, I got instant Adsense approval.

Once you have signed up for Adsense,
you need to add AdSense codes to your blog. The Adsense team will review your
application again after you add the codes, and your account will be
activated and you will be sent an Adsense Pin. All of
this takes approximately 1-2 months depending upon your
geographical location.
Once everything is set up, in
order to get paid from Adsense you need to complete two further steps:
- Submit your tax information
- Enter your pin
You will also need to submit a
tax form, dependingon how you are entitled to do business. For
certification of No U.S. activities, and for Indian Adsense publishers,
you can fill in this tax information:
AdSense
Pin:
You will receive an AdSense Pin
by mail once you reach the threshold of $10 with your AdSense
account. You need to add the pin to your Adsense account. You will start
receiving payment once your AdSense account reaches the $100 threshold.
I hope this guide will help you to
successfully create an Adsense account. If you do not yet have
a blog, you can refer to my previous tutorial on How to Install & Setup a WordPress Blog.
