Adsense approval survey

# None

# PC hardware Tech Reviews, yo!

# Now? 60k pageviews. Google Analytics as source. Bounce Rate well under 10%

# 4 years now, but I got adsense approval after 6 days when I started the site with .com domain via blogger. This was in 2010.

# Yes

# Blogger

# Yup. # 16? All of them are reviews. My own pics. My own benchmarks

# Judging by what many said, yeah. But I used some software which basically lets you create your own, and then uploads it on blogger using flickr as the source to store images.

# err....yeah!

# Well, I know things are harder now, especially for Indian folks. Blame the so-called SEO and marketing experts. Many tried to scam and therefore adsense approval became very strict. Now I can't even get inside buysellads network, so who knows if its because of this or not.

Thanks for the reply.

NSW what is your earnings with adsense (give approx fig for a month)

VP, what's your approximate earnings from adsense? I'm curious.

Right now FP its around 300 a week 

My total earnings so far from adsense: 0$

Not even 0.something? 

0.06

VP is a rich person 

Yes. Vijay earns a lot from adsense. 

Its 300 Rs. a week

lying! 

No pinky promise

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.

@Ranjith.. No I have added time stamp for my posts

* typo I meant now

I got rejected.

Why rejected? can you reproduce the email from Google Adsense here pls

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. 

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. 

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

• 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?

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..

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.

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 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!

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.

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 !!

I got my adsense approved after six years of hard work. I am happy I did it. :)))

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.
