When do you think a blog is ready for requesting Google AdSense?
Hello,
I have a blog and I want to request Google AdSense, however I need to know when do you think a blog is ready for requesting Google AdSense ?
Is there any requirements that the bog must have before requesting ?
Thanks
You can put Adsense on your site from Day #1 if you wish but I suggest you do not. Get some content up there first – all your pages (About Me/Contact etc.) also don’t forget a Privacy Policy page which is an absolute requirement for Adsense – basically telling people how their clicks are tracked etc. You can find generic Privacy Policy pages on the web and I’m pretty sure Adsense wiill give you one too.
Also get at least a dozen good content blog posts up there and get a few backlinks – basic Search Engine Marketing basically. Ask some friends to ‘Tweet’ ‘Stumble’ and/or ‘Digg’ your posts to maybe get some traffic and readers.
My personal theory is that just because Adsense allows you 3 ad blocks per page/post + link blocks DO NOT USE THEM ALL! Google knows when your site is covered with Adsense and I reckon you get marked down in the rankings if you don’t get a lot of traffic. They tread a fine line of wanting the Ad revenue and discouraging auto-bloggers. Bad Auto bloggers invariably cover every square inch of their pages with ads! For example putting Adsense on a Privacy Policy page is just plain stupid!
I like a text block after my introductory text and another in the sidebar. Maybe a Link block at the end of the article/post. If I’m chasing an affiliate sale in a post I won’t use Adsense at all on that page. Why lose a reader for 20 cents when I might get $20 for a sale?
Don’t forget to blend the colors of your Adsense ads to blend in with your site – if your blog’s regular navigation links are, say, #CC6600 make sure your Adsense links are that color too.
Pretty sure there’s no requirements, but you should wait until you have some regular traffic.

Ask for it at anytime. You need 1000s of viewers before you see a little money. And they have software to spot cheaters. Some think they can sit at home and repeatedly pull up the page….their programs spot that right away.
