Step 1: Focus on High-Quality Content

Content is king, especially when it comes to AdSense approval.

Here’s what Google expects:

Original articles: Avoid copying or spinning content. Your posts should be 100% written by you, in your own words.

Helpful information: Articles should provide real value. Whether you’re writing about recipes, tech tips, parenting, or travel – make sure your posts help the reader.

Consistent tone: Keep your writing style clear, friendly, and consistent.

Minimum word count: Aim for 15 to 20 blog posts, each between 800 to 1500 words or more. Longer, in-depth articles are better.

Stick to a niche: Don’t jump between unrelated topics. Choose a theme like health, DIY, finance, lifestyle, or personal development, and stick to it.

Step 2: Use a Custom Domain

A custom domain makes your blog look more professional and trustworthy. Instead of using a free URL like yourblog.blogspot.com, go for something like www.yourblog.com.

You can buy domains for less than $15 a year from sites like:

• Namecheap
• GoDaddy
• Google Domains

If you’re using WordPress or another hosting platform, many hosting providers also include a free domain with their plans.

Google prefers custom domains for AdSense approval, and it gives your blog more authority in the long run.

Step 3: Add Essential Pages

Your blog needs to look complete and trustworthy. That means you need to create the following important pages:

👉About Us – Share who you are, what your blog is about, and what readers can expect.

👉Contact Us – Let users (and advertisers) contact you. Include an email or a simple contact form.

👉Privacy Policy – Explain how you collect, use, and protect user data. You can use free online privacy policy generators to create one.

👉Terms & Conditions – Outline the rules for using your website, especially if you’re offering downloads or services.

Step 4: Create a Clean and User-Friendly Design 

Google loves websites that are easy to navigate.

Here’s what that means:

✅Use a simple theme: Avoid flashy, cluttered templates. Stick to clean designs with good readability.

✅Add a navigation menu: Make sure visitors can easily find your blog posts and important pages.

✅Optimize for mobile: Most users browse on phones, so your blog must look good on all devices.

✅Improve loading speed: Use tools like PageSpeed Insights to test your site. Compress images and avoid heavy plugins.

Step 5: Make Sure Your Site is Indexed by Google 🔍

Before applying to AdSense, your blog should be visible in Google search results.

To check this, go to Google and type “site:yourdomain.com”

Step 6: Stick to Safe and Legal Content 🚫

Google won’t approve websites that include:

• Adult content

• Pirated downloads

• Hate speech

• Drugs, violence, or anything illegal

• Misleading or fake content

Stick to family-friendly topics and make sure all your content is safe for general audiences.

Also, never copy images or videos from other sites. Use free stock websites like:

• Pexels

• Pixabay

• Unsplash

Or create your own graphics using tools like Canva.

Step 7: Avoid Common Mistakes ⚠️

Before applying for AdSense, check these:

• Are there broken links on your site?

• Are there grammar or spelling issues?

• Are your images too big or slowing down the page?

• Are your articles easy to read?

• Are you using clear headings and formatting?

Spend a day reviewing your blog from a reader’s perspective. Ask a friend to check it too — they might catch something you missed.
