Adsense approval survey
Adsense is one of the things that every blogger would love to have but many find it extremely difficult to get approved. I was wondering if it would help a blogger determine the suitability of his site for adsense if he has access to information about the state of a few adsense-approved blogs when they have applied for adsense.
So, here are a few questions which I would like all those bloggers with an approved adsense account to answer. Even those who don't have an approved adsense account are free to comment on this thread.
- Which blog (name of the blog) did you use while applying for adsense? (Do not post the blog's link. We can find it from your IB profile.)
- Under what category does your blog fall? Technology, blogging, recipes, travel etc
- How many monthly unique visitors, visitors (or sessions) and pageviews did your blog have at the time of applying for adsense? Are these stats from Blogger or Google Analytics or some other source?
- What was the age of your blog?
- Did you blog have a top level domain when you applied for adsense?
- Have you applied through Blogger or directly through adsense?
- Were you accepted in your first attempt? If not, what were the reasons cited for denying your application previously? How did you work on them?
- How many posts did your blog have? What was the average length of a post? What was your posting frequency?
- Did your blog have the look of a typical blog (were post snippets of latest blog posts are displayed on the home page and there are links for navigating to the previous posts) or did it look more like a website?
- Did your blog posts (and comments) have timestamps?
- Any suggestions to those who are applying for adsense?
If you have any other questions you want to include above, state in the discussion area below.
Thanks!

Google has very complicated process for Adsense.Main point of concern for Blogger should be Quality Plus Healthi quantity of blog materials on blog.Rest are confusing.
I got my adsense approved after six years of hard work. I am happy I did it. :)))
Mine was rejected. Is there any way I could apply again?
Yes, you can after making all the changes due to which your blog got rejected !!
At the time of applying Adesense, I was getting 40-60 viditors per day. After starting my blog I got approved within 1 month with 20 number of posts.
I got approved with a month old blog having 19 post and 15 days old Domain/Hosting.
I heard a lot that Asian countries have to wait 6 month or atleast 2,3 months. I read we should have atleast 30,40 quality contents. I googled that we should remove any affiliates program we are running.
In my case I was confident that I would get adsense approval for sure and the next morning I got an Email "Congratulation your application has been approved"
My Blog : WindowsPhoneWiki ( Phone reviews , How-to's , features etc etc.... )
Thanks, Peace!
I have an adsense approved account, but I am not using any adverts. If you want, I can share the codes.
PS: Don't expect me to share the money though
I was happy that I got approved by adsense till I saw this thread..
My blog traffic is too low. Will have to work harder.

Apply for adsense only if your blog have valauble content for community.. Write in simple words. don't use too much hi-fi English... Don't link to irrelevent sites or hacking or porn sites.... Write original content not copied from somewhere else... Make sure your article is having 550-750 words... Use images, videos, slides, graphs in other terms use multimedia in your content...before appliying make sure your blog is not having broken links, images without alt text etc...
Free Suggestion - Anyone can indimail me before applying to Adsense... I will have a look and tell you what corrections needs to be done..
- Blog Name: Metro Greens - Journey of a Plant Lover
- Category: Home & Gardening (Gardening)
- Visitors: Had 196 users, 250 sessions and 790 pageviews in the month prior to the approval of adsense on my blog. (Google Analytics Stats)
- Age of Blog: 1 year, 11 months.
- Custom Domain: Yes. Have it ever since I started my blog (moved to a custom domain within 2 weeks of starting my blog.
- Mode of Application: Applied via Blogger Dashboard.
- # of Attempts: 1. Was accepted in the first attempt itself.
- No of Posts at the time of application: 99. Average length of my blog posts range between 400-500 words. Since beginning I have tried to maintain a posting frequency of once a week. Though at times, I fail to keep it up, but always try to be on my posting schedule.
- Look and Feel: I'm not sure what a typical blog looks like, but, I have tried to modify it as much as possible. Though, in terms of a typical blog, I guess, it does have the usual posts, archives and comments. I have tried adding a few bells and whistles, like adding a contact page, a downloads page for downloading wallpapers of my photos, and a custom header and menu.
- Timestamps: Yes, both posts and comments have timestamps.
- Suggestions for Applicants: I can't really say, but most of these suggestions are out in the open. What I felt was having a custom domain name goes miles in getting you an approval. Other suggestions are already there, like writing plagiarism free contents, have enough contents on your blog, and such. I guess you need to wait a good enough time before applying for it. Like I waited for around 2 years before applying and got it in the first attempt itself.
Congrats CK
Congrats!
Applied via Blogger Dashboard.
So, if you want to use Adsense on your blogging blog, you should again apply directly through adsense.google.com, right?
I dont know if this will help but here is a form from Google for those who dont have adsense
https://support.google.com/adsense/contact/contactsales?hl=en&__utma=173272373.4058164.1418484494.1419093190.1419123833.12&__utmb=173272373.2.9.1419123847587&__utmc=173272373&__utmx=-&__utmz=173272373.1419093190.11.11.utmcsr=accounts.google.com%7Cutmccn=(referral)%7Cutmcmd=referral%7Cutmcct=/CheckCookie&__utmv=-&__utmk=48144231
You should have posted a clickable link like this : contact here
Seeing the long URL itself will frighten everyone
Do the adsense people really respond to queries submitted using the above form?
Dunno, if your blog is good and the bots have rejected it may be they do I think this form is for human intervention in the approval process
wont it be better if you attach a google survey link to this post?
Will help organise data better
The problem with Google docs is that you can't associate the survey response to an account on IB.
I am Ranjith but I can submit the form as Vijay. No one will know that it was Ranjith who submitted the form and not Vijay.
Does adsense work with wordpress blogs?
It only works with selfhosted wp blogs
Wordpress doesn't allow you to external scripts and adsense is an external script. So, it won't work.
I got rejected.
Why rejected? can you reproduce the email from Google Adsense here pls
* typo I meant now
@Ranjith.. No I have added time stamp for my posts
I didnot get approval...have no idea why . May be my blog is too new! Can anybody suggest what is to be done?
Make sure you have written quality and informative posts on your blog. Because Content is only the way to get approved by Google adsense. Just my 2cents.
