Google AdSense can be a great way to earn extra money from your blog. Some bloggers even use their AdSense earnings as their primary source of income. But to start earning money from placing Google AdSense on your blog, you must apply for an account first.Applying For A Google AdSense Account
Now of course anybody with a blog or a website can apply for a Google AdSense account, but to get approved you'll need to do a couple of other things too. But the actual part of applying for an AdSense account is very easy. First just go to www.google.com/adsense and click the button that says "Sign Up Now".
Under website information it's going to ask you for your primary URL. Whether you own a website or blog doesn't really matter because Google accepts both, either way you'll want to go ahead and list it here. Then just select the primary language of your site. Google AdSense can support all types of different languages, everything from Arabic to Vietnamese.
Next you must check two boxes, the first box says that you agree NOT to place ads on sites that include incentives to click on ads. The second box agrees not to place AdSense ads on sites that include pornographic content. For you to be approved by Google you will have to agree to and follow these rules.
Under Contact Information you'll need to select an account type, your choices are individual or business. If you're not sure which type of an account you have, just place your cursor over the top of the question mark and an explanation of the two account types will pop up. After that select your country or territory, it could be Australia, Zimbabwe, or wherever you might live.
Now you need to list your first and last name, address, city, state, zip and your telephone number. Remember, it's very important that you fill out everything that it asks for and that you do it correctly because this is how you will be receiving your checks from Google.
Finally the last thing left to do is to check the boxes that say you agree to NOT click the ads on your own site and that you read the AdSense Program Policies. If you haven't read the policies you can do it right then and there by clicking the link.
The last box agrees that you DON'T already have a Google AdSense account. When you are all done just click on the "Submit Information" button and within 2 or 3 business days you should get an e-mail from Google which will let you know if you have been approved or not.
And if you are approved, just make sure to follow the Google AdSense Guidelines to keep your account active.
