Preparing your site to be submitted for approval for a Google AdSense account? Then you need to pay attention to your website before submitting it. New webmasters may tend to make a few mistakes which, in turn, could get their application for an AdSense account rejected. Therefore, before signing up for Google Adsense, make sure that you have paid attention to the topics listed below.
HAVE GOOD WEBSITE CONTENT
Whenever you apply for a Google AdSense account, make sure your website has good quality content. Visitors to your website come to your site because they can find good reading materials. That’s what all website visitors are looking for. The Google AdSense evaluation staff is also looking into this. They are looking at the content of your website when they are evaluating your site. Get it!
MAKE SURE YOUR WEBSITE IS 15-20 PAGES BEFORE SHIPPING
Before submitting your site, make sure your site has at least 15-20 pages. Google never recommended the minimum number of pages required before an account is approved; however, based on the experience of many new webmasters, it is strongly recommended that you have at least 15-20 pages.
MAKE THE SITE EASY FOR NAVIGATION
Make sure that on each page you have at least one link that will take a visitor to the main site that has a navigation table. You don’t want a visitor to get lost inside your site. This will also make it easy for visitors to find the information your site offers.
START YOUR WEBSITE TO WORD WIDE WEB
This is another important issue. Make sure your website has been launched to the world before submitting your Google AdSense request. Many new webmasters have submitted their Google AdSense request before their website is available on the Internet. Of course, your application will be rejected because your site could not be found on the Internet.
MAKE SURE YOUR SITE DOES NOT HAVE VIDEO, MP3 DOWNLOADS, NEWS GROUPS AND PICTURE RESULTS
All of the above matters will lead to copyright issues and Google has made it clear that they do not want to approve any application with a website that has these materials.
MAKE SURE YOUR SITE DOES NOT CONTAIN OR REFER TO ANY OF THE PROHIBITED TOPICS BY GOOGLE.
Google has clearly delineated the topics that are prohibited. These are:
Excessive profanity
Violence, racial intolerance or defense against any individual, group or organization
Hack / decrypt content
Illicit Drugs and Drug Paraphernalia
Pornography, adult or adult content
Gambling or casino related content
Excessive advertising
Any other content that promotes illegal activities or infringes the legal rights of others.
Pop-ups, pop-unders, or exit windows that interfere with site navigation, hide Google ads, change user preferences, or are for downloads. Other types of pop-ups, underlays, or exit windows may be allowed as long as they do not exceed a combined total of 5 per user session.
Excessive, repetitive or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages.
Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site’s search engine ranking, for example your site’s PageRank
Incentives (monetary or point-based) for users to click on links or advertisements while visiting a site that contains advertisements.
Sales or promotion of certain weapons, such as firearms, ammunition, balisongs (butterfly knives with a moveable handle), butterfly knives, and brass cuffs.
Sale or promotion of beer or strong alcohol.
Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products.
Sale or promotion of prescription drugs
Sales or promotion of products that are replicas or imitations of designer items.
DO NOT LABEL YOUR ADSENSE LINK
This is one of the important requirements of Google. Don’t tag Google AdSense with your own text. Google will tag them when the ads appear and you should let it be as is. You should not encourage your visitors to click on your ads by tagging them in any way. The visitor must click on the ads of their own free will.
