For a blogger, applying for Google Adsense is his ultimate goal. Although we’ve discussed earlier that adsense is not the only legitimate way to earn money through your websites, there are several other ways too.
Applying for Google Adsense is easy, meeting their requirements is real deal. But before we get to that properly, let’s discuss what Google Adsense really means.
What is Google Adsense?
Google Adsense is a process that is owned / established by Google which makes Bloggers, Youtubers, Publishers, etc show advertisements on their page,which in turn earn a commission from it.
You would have encountered such experience when you visit a site and various ads start to pop up on the site; that’s Google Adsense.
Before you apply for Google Adsense, you need to have your website or blog with a Google account.
Like I’ve discussed earlier, meeting adsense requirements is real deal. So let’s check some of the requirements.
Requirements for Google Adsense
- Have a website / blog / vlog of your own
- Have a Google account
- Post plagiarized-free contents
- Have at least minimum of 20-30 posts before applying
- High traffic is really not essential, but having over 10k views on your site monthly is an added advantage
- Have your about, privacy, contact and or terms and conditions ready and fully structured on your website/blog
