Now you got a blog and need Adsense approval to generate some revenue from it. Hi everyone, this is Digital Abhi, your digital marketing friend, a contented digital marketer. And in this post, I am going to share tips on how to get Google Adsense Approval.
Also, if you are a video person, you can skip directly to the end of this post where I have embedded a video on the same. Or if you are quite busy, you can just listen to this content in a podcast form.
Google Adsense Approval Tips
First thing you should know that getting Adsense approval is not as tough as it seems. You just need to follow some guidelines and tips to monetize your blog. So, here we go:
Tip #1: Quality Content
The first thing you need to focus on is Content. In the digital world, there’s a saying: Content is King. And that’s what you need to follow for your blog.
You need to put quality content on your blog. You need to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you copy other’s content and use it for yourself. Most of the people just copy content from other websites and blogs and put on their blog.
This is one of the major reasons for the rejection of their Google Adsense application and becomes an issue for Google Adsense approval. Your content should be unique.
There are a lot of tools available online to check plagiarism for your content. Try to keep your content at least 80% unique. The topics on which you are putting content can be similar to others but the content you are writing should be unique.
Tip #2: Consistency
If Content is KING, then Consistency is QUEEN. And she rules the palace. So, the next thing you need to focus on consistency. Along with the quality of content, consistency also plays an important for Adsense approval.
What I have seen is people put 3 4 posts on the same day and then do post anything for a month. Or they don’t put content at all after a couple of posts. This is what you need to avoid.
For my earlier blog BrainDine, I put 12 posts in about 30 days, that is, around 3 posts every week. You can also follow a schedule for your posts. I would suggest you put al least 1 post each week. This way you can maintain the consistency for your blog.
Other than that, you also need to provide your blog sometime before applying for Adsense. Let’s say you start your blog on June 1st. Then give at least a month to your blog and in the meantime, you should consistently put content on it.
Tip #3: Number of Visitors
The next factor is the number of visitors. If you are thinking that you need thousands of views or visitors to get Adsense approval, then, be happy because it’s just a myth. For my earlier blog, I just had around 30 to 40 visitors on average per post.
In the same way, you don’t need to worry about visitors or views. Visitors do play a role in Adsense approval but you don’t need hundreds or thousands of them. Even a less number of views can do the work for you.
But note down one thing. Never send bot traffic to your blog or website. It will hurt you in the long run. We think we can outsmart Google. But believe me Google is much smarter than we think.
Tip #4: Put Important Pages
The next thing is the blog pages. There are some necessary pages you should put on your blog. The first one is the About page. On the About Us page, you need to tell about who are you and what your blog is about or what type of content you will be posting.
The next one is the Contact page. On this, you need to put details about how your visitors and users can contact you. Here you can just simply put a contact form and an email id.
Other than these two pages, you also need to put a Privacy Policy page. On this page, you need to tell your visitors if you are collecting their data or not. And if you are doing, what type of data you are collecting.
There are thousands of Privacy Policy generators available online. You can easily use one of them and get the format for your Privacy Policy page. But before putting it on your blog, do give it a read and if required, amend it according to your blog.
If you want, you can aslo put a FAQ page. It’s not necessary but you can put it if you want. It can really help your users to get thier doubts cleared.
Tip #5: Avoid Keyword Stuffing
This is one of the major factors which becomes an issue in Google Adsense approval. What people do is, in order to cheat Google’s algorithm and to get more views through SEO, they just stuff keywords in their blog.
But again as I mentioned above, Google is much smarter than we think. Doing these black hat techniques will eventually hurt your website and blog. And in some cases, people even end up getting their websites and blogs banned or penalized.
Tip #6: Avoid this Content
Then comes the type of content which you should not post. You should never put any kind of content which supports social enemies like terrorism, child labor, etc. You should never post any content which promotes hate or violence.
Tip #7: User Experience
Another important factor is the user experience. This factor not only matters in blogs but it plays an important role in every kind of business. Make your blog and website user friendly. And how you can do it? Just a few simple steps and your website is User Friendly:
- Your text should not be too small or too large.
- Put images in your content but avoid putting too many images.
- The blog needs to be responsive, i.e., it should be mobile compatible.
- Make sure that the readability of your blog is good.
By readability I mean if you putting a light background, then your text should be dark. Or if you are putting a dark background, your text should be light. Let’s say if the background color is yellow and the text color is orange, then, it would be difficult to read. The same goes for dark colors like brown and black.
From my experience, there’s one key point which I want to tell you. Always think from the user’s point of view. Think that what a user would like to see when he or she comes to your website or blog.
Don’t create your blog for Google Adsense or Adsense approval. Create it by keeping in mind your potential audience. Think about the content they would like and believe me you will not face any issue in Adsense approval.
These are the tips that I followed for my earlier blog. And I would recommend you to do the same. Just follow these simple tips and you are good to go. After following these tips when I applied for Google Adsense, it got approved within a couple of hours.
Also, even if you don’t get approval for Google Adsense, don’t be motivated. There a lot of other Google Adsense alternatives that you can use to monetize your blog. Here is the video of what we just discussed above.
