Eligibility requirements for AdSense

Google AdSense has specific eligibility requirements that publishers must meet to participate in the program and display ads on their websites. 

Here are the key eligibility requirements for AdSense

Website Ownership: You must own and have full control of the website where you intend to display AdSense ads. You cannot apply for AdSense if you don't have ownership rights to the site.

Website Content: Your website must have high-quality, original content that is relevant to your target audience. The content should be informative, valuable, and not violate any of Google's content policies.

Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old to apply for AdSense. If you are younger than 18, you may need a parent or guardian to apply on your behalf, and AdSense will be set up as a managed account.

Content Policies: Your website's content must adhere to Google's content policies, which include restrictions on illegal content, adult content, copyrighted material, and content that promotes violence, hate speech, or misleading information.

Traffic: While there's no specific minimum traffic requirement, it's generally advisable to have a reasonable amount of traffic to your website. Google prefers websites with organic, real traffic rather than those artificially boosted through traffic exchanges or similar methods.

Website Language: AdSense is available for websites in many languages. However, you should ensure that your website's primary language is one of the supported languages listed by Google.

Ad Placement: Ensure that your website has a suitable structure for displaying ads. The layout should allow for proper ad placement, and ads should not be placed on pages with no content or in a way that misleads users.

Compliance with Google Policies: You must comply with Google's policies, including the AdSense Program Policies and AdSense Policies, throughout your participation in the program. Violating these policies can result in account suspension or termination.

Traffic Sources: Your website's traffic sources should be primarily organic, meaning users arrive at your site through search engines, social media, referrals, or direct visits. Avoid using paid traffic or deceptive practices to inflate your visitor numbers.

Responsive Design: Your website should have a responsive design that ensures a good user experience on both desktop and mobile devices. This is important because AdSense ads are often viewed on various screen sizes.

Domain Ownership: AdSense generally requires that you have a custom domain (e.g., www.yourwebsite.com). Free hosting platforms or subdomains (e.g., yourwebsite.blogspot.com) may have more stringent eligibility criteria.

Sufficient Content: Google may review websites for eligibility more favorably if they have a sufficient amount of content. While there's no specific word count requirement, it's advisable to have multiple well-developed pages.

Once you believe your website meets these eligibility requirements, you can apply for Google AdSense through the AdSense website. If your application is approved, you can start displaying ads on your website and begin earning revenue through the AdSense program. Keep in mind that Google AdSense may periodically review your website's compliance with its policies, so it's essential to maintain high-quality content and adhere to their guidelines to ensure a successful and ongoing partnership.
