Getting Started with Google AdSense

Getting Started with Google AdSense

Before you Apply

Before you apply into the Google AdSense program, I will advise you to read through the Google AdSense policy to help you get familiar with how it works and as well as, the dos and don’ts of Google AdSense. This particularly will help you make your website and contents to meet the guidelines of Google AdSense before you finally decide to apply and be getting started with Google AdSense.

Applying into AdSense Program

When you finally decide to apply for Google AdSense, you need to have prepared your contents to meet the Google AdSense requirement. After you have done this, then you can proceed to the Google AdSense website.

As a new user of the website, you are required to sign up using your Gmail address, your website URL and your territory. With this, you will be taken through the Google AdSense terms and service. You are advised to read through and accept the terms. After this, you will be allowed you will be granted access to your Google AdSense account page.

Applying for AdSense

The next thing to be done on the page is entering your contact information, payment address, phone number, and some other personal details. When this is done, an HTML code will be displayed on your screen. You are required to copy this code and paste on the head part of the website you are applying with.

If you do not know much about syntax and tags, then you should consider using a plugin that could help you place the tag. Otherwise, you might compromise your WordPress theme codes.

After placing the tags on your website, check the “I have copied the code on my website” box and submit. Google will automatically look for the code on your website and if found, you will be instructed to wait for some days. However, if your website is checked and found to have met the Google AdSense requirement, your application will be approved and you will be sent an email to get notified.

On the hand, if there is a violation of Google AdSense terms on your website, your application may not be approved and you will be notified as well. Possible violation problems that could arise and what you should do next has will be addressed below.

Valuable Inventory No Content

This is one of the possible error messages you could receive if your Google AdSense application is declined. If you receive this message, it simply means you do not have enough content on your website.

A better way to avoid this is to get enough contents on your website. Your articles should have up to 800 – 1000 words and ensure you have 25 – 30 articles of such before you apply. Here is a better explanation of how your article should look like.

Valuable Inventory Scrapped Content

If you have copied some part of your website from another source without adding value or your text focuses on granting excessive advertising to some programs, then it is possible that you get the valuable inventory scrapped content response from Google AdSense.

Also, when contents are copied from other websites and replaced with synonyms without adding value, it is likely you get the valuable inventory error message.

When applying for Google AdSense program, you should try as much as possible to avoid copying contents from anywhere. Instead, you should ensure to read, digest and put down sentences in your own word.

In addition, try and limit the number of links leading to other websites from your articles. It is even advisable not to use those links for the time being as you are about to apply to Google AdSense. We had explained it better on this page.

When you finally get approved into the AdSense program, an email will be sent to your Gmail address to get you notified. As you receive this mail, the next thing is to login into Google AdSense website with the Gmail address and password. When logged in, an overlay message congratulating you on your approval into the program will be displayed on your screen.

A faster way to get ads displayed on your website is by enabling auto ads. You just select the ad types you want to display on your website and save. If the code you had copied when applying is still on your website, you do not need to copy the code that would be presented to you after you had enabled the auto ads. It is still the same code, there is no need to copy twice.

After you had gotten this done, you have to wait for some minutes before you start to see ads from Google AdSense being displayed on your website. At some time, the ads may show immediately and at other times, it may take up to an hour or even more.

Google AdSense will automatically decide the suitable ad unit to be displayed to your visitors and where on your page to display them. However, if you prefer to create ad units and get them displayed at certain locations of your website, all that is required is to go to and select ad units.
