What is Google Adsense Program?
Google adsense is an internet based ad publishing network that is run by Google and allows publishers of content sites to show ads in automatic text, image, video or interactive rich media that are targeted to both site's content and audience. The advertisements that are served by Adsense are administrated, stored and maintained by Google adwords. Publishers can generate revenue either on per click, per impressions or per actions basis. Advertisers are charged only when clicks come from users real interests. Adsense publishers are also allowed to participate in Google double click affiliate network.
What content of sites Google Adsense allow?
A vast list of prohibited content sites that Google adsense do not allow in their program. Apart of this prohibited list of sites any of the site is acceptable but they have to be fully launched with rich content including top level domain and covering all program policies of Adsense. Site should be in perfect design, easy to navigate, monetizable and almost containing ad spaces.
Website rejection and present approval procedures of Google adsense.
If there is any issue that Google adsense has rejected any site to be approved then I'd say the site has violated Adsense program policy. Google adsense team is very much rigorous in approving any site. You may be notifying that Adsense account approval right today is 5x hardened than 2 or 3 years ago also the approval procedures have been changed. Google has urged two distinct steps on every participant before joining their program. First you will apply for adsense account and Google will primarily approve it if your site is okey. Second you need to embed the javascript codes that serve advertisements on your site. After embedding code the adsense crawler will start crawling your entire site's content, links, texts, images and everything that Google crawler does. This crawling may take 24 hours (max) and you will get notice through mail that your site has been approved or not.

I applied for Google adsense account approval several times this year but they rejected me showing various issues. Last weekend i also applied for Google adsense and they approved my application gladly. Now i'm a proud adsense publisher although I'm not serving ads on my site still now.
What things Google Adsense warned me more?
When i applied for first time to Google adsense they rejected my application and warned me that my site has copyrighted content so they did not approve my application. Yes! that was true i had one post that distributed cracking content but i deleted that post and again started up to apply for Google adsense. I prepared my site again and applied for GA 2 moths later, this time Google issued me "Insufficient Content" to participate in Adsense program also they negotiated me to improve my site's user experiences, content depth, traffic growth and site design before applying next time so that they can review my application newly.

My suggestions of getting Google Adsense approved as "Adsense for Content"
I would not say that you go fast, prepare your site content and get adsense account approved within 2/3 months (that requires your hard work also time wasting). Listen, today's adsense account approval is too much hardened that i discussed early so you have to proceed the way that will help you the best of getting a verified adsense account. You might see some of your blogger friends have given up of getting an adsense account approved and quit this competition. So if don't want to be one of them and get a verified adsense account as adsense for content then you have to keep patient and work according your own pace. Below some of my suggestions for new website owners and folks those who rejected several times
- Try to maintain posts at least 200 (better if it's 250+) in your blog
- Do seo because your site needs organic traffic and google loves to work with sites having reasonable traffic
- Don't make your site design complex with adding more images, icons, animations but simple design that can deliver your entire site content is almost appreciated to every ad network i.e. look for hongkiat.com site design that have more than 10 million page views per month
- Keep an about page, contact page, privacy policy page in your site
- Avoid writing mediocre content
- Reduce bounce rate (of course Google dose not like sites having increased bounce rate)
- Don't apply for google adsense until your domain reaches 6 months in age
Note: After adding adsense ad code on your site don't visit your site to check whether ad code working or not. Remember google counts every single impression because they pay revenue per impression and if you visit your site again and again your impressions will be counted as your own click and this will cause you to lose your adsense account. Look below how adsense counts Revenue per thousand impressions (RPM)
Formula:
For example:
- If you earned an estimated $0.15 from 25 page views, then your page RPM would equal ($0.15 / 25) * 1000, or $6.00.
- If you earned an estimated $180 from 45,000 ad impressions, your ad RPM would equal ($180 / 45,000) * 1000, or $4.00.
Finally What's about yours?
Now time is yours to apply my these simple formulas if you want to be a verified adsense user and your site still sucks getting adsense approved. I think getting an adsense account approved is not any difficult matter still it's available but you have to be careful and sensitive about your site content. Try to be within Google webmaster guidelines and Google adsense program policies. Your content can help you to achieve this goal so try to focus on writing unique content and you'll be near to Google adsense approval.
