Before 2008 conditions for applying Google Adsense account was not strict at all. In late 2008, Google tightened up their acceptance policies. According to an email I received from someone who was trying to join the program, you now must meet the following criteria before you are accepted…
1. Your website must be your own top-level domain (www.domain.com and not domain.com/mysite). That means you can’t just sign up with a free web hosting account and get approved for AdSense.
2. Your website must have atleast 15 or 20 pages and Your domain name must have been registered.
3. The registration information that you provide during the AdSense registration must match your domain name registration information.
4. Your website must contain a substantial amount of original content.
5. Only Blogs that have atleast six or seven post and six months old are eligible to apply.
Once you meet the above criteria, go to http://adsense.google.com to apply or you can go to google’s home page and then click on Advertising Programs as shown below.
After this new page will open. Click on Sign Up Now on google Adsense side as shown below.
After this you will see form like this. Fill the form as shown below and click on Submit information button.
After this you will have to confirm your information on next page. Confirm your information and google will review your application. It will take from two to ten days. Then Google will send you email at your e-mail address Whether you are accepted or not. When you are accepted, simply copy and paste the provided HTML code into any page that you’d like to show the ads. If you’ve done a good job of defining the content on your web pages, the ads that show should be relevant to the content of your page…increasing the chances of click-thrus by your visitors.
You can either display the ads vertically along side the page like Google does or in a banner-like formation horizontally across your pages. The placement is up to you. You can even customize the colors to match your site’s theme.
