Almost each and every blogger dream of making money with adsense. For those who don't know about adsense, adsense is a program run by the search giant Google Inc. that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, and rich media adverts that are targeted to site content and audience.
There are hundreds applications submitted to adsense in the hope of being approved but only a handful get approved in adsense. Almost 96% application submitted are rejected. Many dreams of making money online are thrashed due to rejection. There are many reasons, though google does not specify what reason, that an application is rejected.
In this post I will be discussing some of the things that you must do before getting approved in adsense. Some of them are:-
1. Get A Domain Name:-
Though you can get approved without having a domain name (like www.aaaaa.bbbb.com) . It is advised that you have your domain name, like www.yourdomainname.com, because having a domain makes people believe that you are dedicated in your blog/site. Most people don't tend to trust sites having a subdomain as they are free. So getting a domain name is important.
2. Create Sitemap:-
Sitemap helps search bots to crawl for your latest posts and get them indexed in search results very quickly. Though Google webmaster update site maps regularly but you can resubmit your site map manually as and when required.
3. Write Unique And Quality Content:-
Content plays a key role in the approval of adsense. By contents, I didn't mean copying from other sites or making blog bigger just writing low quality posts . You should have a unique content and should provide real information. Instead of writing many posts a day, take your time and write quality contents because google penalizes spammy and copied contents. Write about something that your visitors will like and matches your topic.
4. Share
Writing good quality contents don't make any sense if you don't have any visitors to see your content. You should have a good amount of visitors before getting approved in adsense. You can get traffic to your site/blog by sharing it on various social networking sites. Also put a share button on your site/blog to increase traffic. You can also join various forums and make a post mentioning your blog with some quality information.
5. Other Tips:-
To get traffic, Submit your blog to various search engines and directories.
Post a topic at least once in 3-4 days. But be sure to provide good and quality information.
Let you blog be mature. Wait at least 3-5 months and keep on writing good and qualitative contents and your blog should have about 100+ posts to get approved in adsense.
These are some of the tips that will help you to get approved in adsense. If you get rejected keep on trying the above methods and you will get approved in adsense the legal way.

Google AdSense is an advertising program that was launched in the middle of 2003 by Google. Google acts as an intermediary between a vast number of advertisers and an equally impressive number of website owners.
Advertisers sign up with Google and create text ads that they would like to be displayed. The company displays these ads on the results pages of searches that people conduct from Google.com. The Google AdSense program allows these advertisements to show up on pages all over the Internet. To see some of the ads themselves, users can take a look at the sidebar on this page. The webmaster simply places a special code in their page and the program takes care of the rest.
The relevancy of ads placed by the program varies on all sorts of criteria, but most ads are usually very relevant to the page on which the ad is displayed. For example, the ads on this page should be related to the Internet, advertising, and/or the Google AdSense program itself.
Advertisers pay Google a certain amount for each time one of their ads are clicked. Google keeps a portion of this payment and passes on the rest to the owner of the website itself. Page views of the advertisements are irrelevant in terms of generating revenue in the program — commissions are only generated when Internet users actually click on the ads themselves. Google AdSense checks are sent out on a monthly basis. Many webmasters wait in anticipation of their checks since the program provides them a simple way to recoup some of the losses associated with posting websites on the Internet.
There are many ways to make money from a site/blog. Some of the ways are given below:
1. PPC Advertising Networks
The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the niche of the website.
The source of the traffic can also affect the overall CTR rate. Organic traffic (the one that comes from search engines) tends to perform well because these visitors were already looking for something, and they tend to click on ads more often. Social media traffic, on the other hand, presents terribly low CTRs because these visitors are tech-savvy and they just ignore ads.
2. CPM Advertising Networks
CPM advertising networks behave pretty much as PPC networks, except that you get paid according to the number of impressions (i.e., page views) that the ads displayed on your site will generate. CPM stands for Cost per Mille, and it refers to the cost for 1,000 impressions.
A blog that generates 100,000 page views monthly displaying an advertising banner with a $1 CPM, therefore, will earn $100 monthly.
CPM rates vary with the network, the position of the ad and the format. The better the network, the higher the CPM rate (because they have access to more advertisers). The closer you put the ad to the top of the page, the higher the CPM. The bigger the format (in terms of pixels), the higher the CPM.
3. Direct Banner Advertising
Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.
The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.
4. In-text Adverting
In-text adverting networks like Kontera and infolinks will place sponsored links inside your text. These links come with a double underline to differentiate them from normal links, and once the user rolls the mouse over the link the advertising will pop. Should the user click on it the site owner will make some money.
Some people make good money with this method, but others refrain from using it due to its intrusiveness.
5. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based.
Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.
6. Monetization Widgets
The latest trend on the web are widgets that let you monetize your website. Examples include Widgetbucks and SmartLinks. Some of these services operate under a PPC scheme, others behave like text link ads, others yet leverage affiliate links.
Their main differentiator, however, is the fact that they work as web widgets, making it easier for the user to plug and play the service on its website.
7. Sponsored Reviews
PayPerPost pioneered this model, with much controversy on the beginning (related to the fact that they did not require disclosure on paid posts). Soon other companies followed, most notably Sponsored Reviews and ReviewMe, refining the process and expanding the paid blogging model.
Joining one of these sponsored reviews marketplaces will give you the opportunity to write sponsored posts on a wide range of topics. Not all bloggers are willing to get paid to write about a specific product or website (because it might compromise the editorial credibility), but the ones who do are making good money out of it.
If your blog has a big audience you could also offer sponsored reviews directly, cutting off the commissions of the middleman.
8. RSS Feed Ads
With the quick adoption of the RSS technology by millions of Internet users, website owners are starting to find ways to monetize this new content distribution channel.
Feedburber already has its own publisher network, and you can sign-up to start displaying CPM based advertising on your feed footer. Bidvertiser recently introduced a RSS feed ad option as well, with a PPC scheme.
Finally, some blogs are also opting to sell banners or sponsored messages on their feed directly. John Chow and Marketing Pilgrim are two examples.
Search engines are the best way of getting quality and free traffic. But, You need to be indexed in search engines in order to get traffic from them. Submit your site now by clicking on the link Here. It may take several hours to few days to get indexed in search engines.
After you get indexed you have a new problem, that is, ranking top in the search results. Remember you are not the only one having their site indexed. You will have many rivals as well competing to get ranked top. You have to update your site frequently with content rich articles in order to rank well. You also need to know about meta tags. These are hidden descriptors that appear at the beginning of your HTML code, inside your <head> tag. They may be invisible to your visitor's eyes, but search engine spiders can read them.
They usually consist of a title, description, and keyword tag and they look something like this:
<head>
<title>Title of Your Site</title>
<meta name="description" content="Description of your site here.">
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords separated by commas">
</head>
Use description and keywords carefully to get ranked better in search engines. After you do these you will start to see traffic increasing tremendously.
Just like we need food to survive, we need visitors to keep the blog alive and to earn money. There are people who blog and later they don't get any visitors and leave blogging. So, visitors are very important characters in a blog. Here are a few tips to get visitors to your blog.
1.) JOIN A BLOG NETWORK
A blog network is simply a collection of blogs that help drive traffic to one another. Large, established networks might not let new blogs in, but many do hold open application periods every so often. You can also approach networks that look like a good fit for your blog or even start your own — getting visitors to your blog and helping others to do the same!
2.) PROMOTE YOUR BLOG’S URL
Keep an eye out for different ways to make people aware of your blog’s URL. The most obvious way is to be active in forums and include your blog in your signature, but you can also include it on letterhead, in your email signature, and lots of other places. Be creative.
3.) COMMENT ON OTHER BLOGS
Commenting on other blogs is a great way to get noticed, both by the blogger and by people reading the comments. You’ll get a special benefit from those who maintain a Top Commentators list, too. Make sure your comments add value to the discussion, though.
4.) GUEST BLOG
If you’re an active blog reader (and if you’re a blog writer, you ought to also be a blog reader), you’ve probably seen guest bloggers on several of the blogs that you read. Well, scoring just one post on a popular blog can give your own blog a great jumpstart. It’s one of the best ways to get visitors to your blog.
These are some of the ways to get traffic to your site/blog. Stay tuned for more.
