Tips to keep in mind
By signing up to AdSense, a site owner then has different types and sizes of advertising blocks, contextualized to their content and able to be placed on their site or blog pages.

Every time a site visitor clicks one of these ads, a small payment of anywhere from a few cents to several dollars is made to the webmaster that is attached to the AdSense account for the site that’s been clicked on.
Once the account owner has reached the payment threshold, he or she will receive their first payment via AdSense. (via direct deposit or check)
Through this system, Google rewards website owners who know how to create well-optimized and rich content that’s in a particular niche and is also popular; since the more visitors a site garners, the more ad clicks and thus revenue it also generates for the site owner.
The relationship between visitors and clicks is known as Click-Through-Rate (CTR) and is dependent on the placement of the ads on the site, relevance of the ads, the niche selected, etc.
However, there are also certain conditions that any site owner who applies for AdSense has to abide by: For one thing, no pornographic, illegal, or copyright violating content can be displayed.
Secondly, the content must be genuine and have a certain (somewhat arbitrary) timescale during which it has been online.
Finally, certain ad-related rules prohibit you from clicking on your own ads, redirecting people to pages full of ads through some sort of spam related means or creating purely advertising related AdSense pages that are empty of valuable and meaningful content.
Because of these design features and the immense advertiser market that exists on the Adwords side of the Google business, site owners who sign up with AdSense can be quite richly rewarded for having popular, high-quality, content-rich websites that talk about relevant subjects in one or more niches.
The niche you select and the keywords you target will have a direct relationship on the Cost-Per-Click and, ultimately, the amount you’ll get paid per click. Target keywords that don’t have a very high CPC and you won’t earn much per click.
Target keywords that have too high a CPC and they’re likely to have heavy competition. The trick is to find just the right balance with regards to keyword research.
In some cases, people have been known to generate many thousands of dollars per month in personal income just from the few cents they earn per click on the ads that are placed on their pages.
Now that we’ve gone over the basics of what AdSense is, let’s take you step by step through how you can set up your own AdSense account and start earning money with AdSense too.
How to get started with Google Adsense
Get your Website ready
You can’t join AdSense until you’ve got your own well-established, well-fleshed out website or blog up and running. Of course, it doesn’t have to be some sort of internet superstar with thousands of pages and thousands of monthly page views, but it should meet at least a few basic content and design guidelines.
Essentially, as an AdSense applicant, you’ll need to at least possess a blog/site that has a decent amount of richly written text-based content, has reasonably good traffic and is at least 3 months old.
Register an Adsense Account
This is fairly easy; simply use an existing Google account that you already have and attach it to your AdSense application or, if you don’t actually somehow have a Google account of any kind (You really should, Gmail is amazing!) just sign up within a few minutes directly here.
Application Process
Once you’ve logged into AdSense, the first steps will consist of a series of questions about your website; things such as the nature of its content, URL and the main language in which your site will be written (English, French, Spanish, etc). You’ll also have to agree to Google’s terms and policies, which you really should stop to read through.
Afterwards, going through the same series of events, you’ll continue by filling out your full AdSense application and including details about your name, billing address/postal address, account type (Business or Individual) and country of origin.
Once you’ve clicked “Submit” you simply need to wait roughly 24 to 48 hours and see if you’ve been approved.
Make Money
Of course, there’s no guarantee that you’ll earn much of anything with Adsense, but if you run your keyword research and content well, work on developing your sites effectively and make sure you don’t break any of Google’s major rules against spam, low quality content or banned content, you really can start successfully making anything from a few hundred to a few thousand or more dollars per month with relatively little work on your AdSense pages.
After you’ve been approved, you’ll have to make slight modifications to your pages’ source code but this isn’t usually complicated and if in doubt, either ask a friend who’s already done the same, look up the numerous online tutorials that are available or hire someone to help you out
How Improve your Adsense Application process
The age of the website
Getting an Adsense account is your first priority if you want to make money with Google Adsense. It used to be easy to get approved but things have changed nowadays.
There are a lot of things that Google considers before approving a site for Adsense. If you do not want your site to be rejected, there are a few things that you should know. Let your blog be at least three months old before you submit it.
The older your website is, the more likely it is for your account to be approved. Google waits for three months before accepting new domains in order to establish domain ownership. This will not be a problem for you if you are using a subdomain of another website or a Blogger blog.
Type of content
It is also important to have a lot of articles on the website that you submit for Google Adsense. You should have at least twenty posts.
These posts should also be your original work and must not be copied content from other websites on the internet. If you want to use content from article directories, wait until your account has been approved.
Make regular posts
During the period preceding your application, you should make regular posts on your blog. This should be at least once a week. Some people suggest that you write blog posts daily but this is rather extreme.

Most people do not have the time to post on their blogs every day. It is alright if you can make just one post every week. This will create a record of consistency that will work in your favor when you apply for an Adsense account.
You should have decent content
Google does not approve sites that have gambling and pornographic content. There are also other offensive contents that are not accepted. These include bigotry, hate, racial discrimination and x-rated materials. You should not use spun content on your website.
Ensure that your articles are written in correct English that is readable by human beings. Don’t use auto blogging software on your blog until you are approved.
These are some of the factors that will help you to get approved so that you can start to make money with Google Adsense. When you get your account, you will have to learn how to optimize your ads so that you can make more money. It is also vital to follow the Adsense TOS so that your account will not be banned.
