How I got Google Adsense Approval in First Attempt : Complete Guide

By Ashutosh Jha → Tuesday, February 4, 2020

Hello, Everyone! A couple of days back we received a fully approved account of Google AdSense.

Thanks to you all for giving support. I started blogging somewhere in September'14 as a passion and very soon got addicted to it. Truly speaking till Aug’14 I was not even knowing ‘B’ of Blogging world.

I was an IT professional and were working on a few IT projects like web development, web maintenance, application development etc. Then while reading some marketing tips for one of my clients and I reached out to Harsh’s blog ShoutMeLoud and few other blogs like Harleena’s Aha-Now, Anil's BloggersPassion, Problogger, CopyBlogger and came to know the blogging world closely.

These are the blogs which motivated me towards blogging. Until that time I already had developed around 30-40 websites for my clients and were having few maintenance projects also.

I managed some time and started blogging and all I can say at this point in time is, It’s Awesome!!

In this guide, I am going to share the secret tricks for how to get Google AdSense approval fast.

I am not much successful in blogging till now, and still, I’m a newbie. I have just started this blog a couple of months back and getting approval for AdSense in Just a couple of months, and that too in the very first attempt is an awesome feeling.

So, just wanted to share the experience as to how I got approval for AdSense for a 2-month-old domain and a blog, which had only 20 posts at the time of approval (this is our 22nd post).

I’m not telling getting AdSense approval is a big thing, but at the beginning, I got so many rumors about the Google AdSense. I just want to clear those.

Also, AdSense is not the only way to earn from the blog and a few weeks back I shared a detailed article on How a blogger can earn from their blog or website. Here I listed around 17 real and proven methods to earn from blogs. I would suggest you to please check that post.


Below I’m going to explain the tips taken by me before applying to the AdSense. In this journey, the article that helped me is Alltop9’s AdSense guide. Thanks to Lasya for that.

How to Get Google AdSense Approval Fast- Exactly what I used!

Here are some of the tips I used to get Google AdSense approval fast and in my first attempt. I am sharing those so that you can also follow these and get AdSense approval very fast.

1. Get a Custom Domain

Now a day almost all the bloggers have their custom domain. If you don’t have and you’re using the free services of Blogspot or Wordpress, please get a custom domain for your blog, and it doesn’t charge more than $1. You can check our article on How to select a best domain name for the good name and 5 best domain name registrar to select the right company to register your name for online business. This is the important step friends as there is hardly a blog which gets approval through BlogSpot and Wordpress extension domain now. No doubt these are the best free platform to start blogging and you need not to spend a single penny for it.

2. Use Top Domain Extension

This also effects in the approval process. If you’ve read our article on How to select the best domain name, you must have read a point where I’ve explained the need for the top level domain. We should use a top level domain like .com or .org. Avoid registering country specific domains as this indicates you’ve started blogging for just that particular country.

3. Domain Age

Domain age plays a crucial role in the approval process especially for the accounts in Asian Subcontinent. As per AdSense policy, your domain age should be a minimum of 6 months, but it’s not mandatory in this subcontinent. As you can see, my domain age is just a few days more than two months. So I believe a domain with age one and half month is sufficient for the AdSense approval.

4. Blog Layout & Navigation

Yes, blog design is also an important step in the approval process. In fact, blog design is the main aspect in the success of the blog itself. We’re in 2014 and 2015 is just a few days ahead; so please avoid using the design of 1999. Give your blog a professional look. This will help to attract readers as well as an advertiser on your blog. You can check my article on how to select the best template for the blog or website.

Here I’ve explained each and every step in detail. Mark those points and match with your blog and see if all are good. It’s not that difficult to find a good template. There are so many templates available on the internet free of cost; just you’ve to search it. Also, the navigation on your site should be easy and clear. This helps in making the site more users friendly.

5. Average Daily Page views

This is the most common question a newbie blogger ask before applying to the AdSense. How much traffic really it needed to get approval? There is no exact answer to this question but as per my experience and what I read about this till now is 100-page view is decent to apply for AdSense. And you will agree with me, 100 daily page views are not too much right? You can take help of social media or blog promotion or even blog commenting method to get this much traffic daily.

6. Number of blog post

This is also one of the common questions that bloggers or webmasters usually ask. Generally, it’s seen that many bloggers have received approval with even 12-13 post and there are a plenty number of bloggers who are still getting rejected with over 100 posts. But it’s a good practice to start with 15 blog post.

7. Blog Post Length & Quality

This is very much important point in the approval process as well as for the success of your blog. It’s always advisable to write a long blog post and not to write a blog with less than 500 words. But this does not mean we should compromise on the Quality of the article. You should never copy anyone’s article else Google will detect easily and can reject your application and even can find your blog. So always try to write a quality article and try to have at least 350-400 words in each article. Google or any other search engines love lengthy and quality blog posts.

8. Add a few necessary pages

Add a few important pages like About Us, Contact Us, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer pages in your blog. At first instance, this will not feel you much important, but from a business point of view, this is equally important as the articles. One should know about yourself, about your blog and the peoples behind you and so about and contact page is vital.

Also, what are your terms and settings about the user who is visiting your site are also important and that can be covered in the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer pages. So try to include these pages before you apply. This will not take more than 5 minutes as many websites are available online which generates these pages free of cost.

9. Take care of content and Language

Please don’t put objectionable content like adult content on the site. Google will never approve these types of sites. Also, you should only use the English language on the site.

10. Follow the AdSense Policy

This is the general step. You should follow the policy of the company to which you’re going to apply. So I would suggest reading the Google AdSense policy before applying to it. This will not take your much of time. Anyway, this contains almost all the points that we covered above.

11. What if disapproved in the first attempt?

This is also one of the most common questions that most of the bloggers and webmasters ask. As AdSense has revised their policy, it’s getting a little bit difficult to get approval in the first attempt or so on. What to do in that case? Whenever AdSense reject any account, they send the reason for this.

You’ll get an email explaining why your application got rejected. Some of the most common reasons are like not having enough content, too new domain, not decent traffic or so on. So work on the reason they provided and apply again. This will not take much of your time. Don’t just sit idle after getting rejected. You should work on the reason and apply again. You’ll definitely get success.

Final Words

---

Friends these were few tips to get approved AdSense account fast. I’m sure if you’ll follow these tips, you’re definitely going to get approved Adsense account. Again AdSense is not the only way to earn from your blog. If you are not getting approval also, there is nothing to worry. You can use other mode of earnings like in text ads, affiliate to earn.

But as AdSense is the best ad network in the world, so everyone tries to have an account with it. If you’re getting rejected frequently check above tips and correct the blog. Also, you can drop your issue in a comment. I’ll surely try to find the solution.

But those dollars will inspire you to work more and more and then by this continuous process you can become a successful blogger.

But just remember to earn more you should have a proper layout of the blog, a good name, enough and quality contents and you need to avoid the initial mistakes done by many bloggers who fail to make money and finally close their blog.

Different Ways to Earn from Your blog

1. Google AdSense: I’m keeping Google Adsense at the top of the list because of the trust and the recurring income. Google Adsense is the biggest ad network in the world and many bloggers completely depend on AdSense for their income.

Google AdSense is a free, simple way for website publishers of all sizes to earn money by displaying targeted ads on their websites.

AdSense works on the per-click or per-impression basis. Whenever anybody will clicks or view on the ads, you will get money from the advertisers. The money that you will get depends on the geographic locations, and the CPC.

You will get more money if you’ve received a click from US/Canada compared to Asian countries. There are many types of ads are provided by AdSense like Text, Images, Videos etc. But to earn more from your AdSense, you need to know these basic tips.

Also, to boost the CTR of AdSense, you can use AdSense optimized WordPress themes.

2. Chitika: Chitika is a display advertising network that can serve as either a complement or alternative to other display ad networks, such as Google AdSense.

Chitika was founded in 2003 and very soon it became the alternative of the Great Google AdSense. Chitika is having more than 350,000 publishers currently and with this, you can think of their popularity.

You can read all the details Chitika publisher here.There are many other display ad networks also but AdSense and Chitika are the most famous. You can make a decent income through these. Many bloggers who are either not satisfied with the AdSense or got banned due to some reason tries Chitika.

3. Affiliate Program: Affiliate marketing is a program where an advertiser or a merchant recruits a webmaster to place their ads on the websites. Webmaster receives some commission whenever a user clicks on those ads and perform the desired action.

Suppose you have put an ad from a company who sell a book. Whenever you visitor will click that ad, they will get redirected to merchant’s site and if your visitor will buy that book you’ll get some money as a commission for that sell. This commission percentage depends upon merchant to merchant. It may be starting from 4% to 60-70% also.

There are many affiliate programs available on the internet like the most famous Amazon Affiliate program, BlueHost Affiliate and much more are there. The best about the affiliate program is if you can take your visitor in trust you can make much more than AdSense.

4. In Text Ads: In-text ads are one of the most popular monetization methods for blogger probably after display ad network and affiliate marketing. You have probably seen them all over the internet. They are a link with double lines.

Sometimes these ads are very beneficial for blogger’s pocket but need to be used with full precautions. Because these ads eventually irritate the user and in most of the cases, they leave the blog and never return.

So you these with cautions. Infolinks, Vibrant, Viglink are considering as the giants in this field.

Till now you’ve read around 1100 words and still many methods are yet to come. So why don’t you share this article with your buddies first?

5. Text Link Ads: If you’ve very good traffic and good reputation in your niche, this ad can be worship for you. Text link ads are not but it is a link to any product/website that you have put on your site.

Be careful while putting this as it seems to be relevant and the wording should be in such a way that it should match with the sentence if used in the article.

6. Sponsored Reviews: Many companies can pay you the money if you are ready to write a good and genuine feedback for them on your blog. What you have to do is just use that product and provide a genuine review.

By providing genuine review neither you’re cheating your readers nor the advertisers. And by this way, many companies can pay you a decent amount. Generally, companies pay in the range of $20-$500 for a single review and it depends on your blog reputations.

7. Sponsored Post: Like sponsored reviews, you can get sponsored posts also. Many website/companies can pay you if you will write a post they want. What this usually looks like is a post created for the specific website, target keywords, links back to their site or to get good audiences who are similar to your blog.

8. Direct Ads: This is the most profitable way to earn from the blog but one of the most difficult one. Here either you’ve to pitch the advertiser to do advertisement through your blog or if you’ve good reputation you can get a call directly from advertisers.

Then you’ve to explain about the available slots and cost to them. They best way to deal with this is to have a media kit or Advertiser page on your blog. Simply provide the URL of that page and you’re done.

9. Premium Content: The perfect example of premium content is SEOMOZ site. SEOMOZ is considered as the best site for basic SEO and so for some of the content they charge.

You can also do the same thing but you should have the content of that standard so that people will have to pay. Just lock the part for which you want to charge with the password and ask users for the money. You can simply ask for the money by PayPal. And once the user will send you the money provide the password for locked content.

10. Theme/Template Selling: If you’re good in designing, you can design your own themes or templates and can sell in the premium category. This can earn you a bigger amount.

A premium theme/template is getting sold in the range of $10-$200. Either you can sell your blog or you can also sell through the themes market ThemeForest or any other such sites.

11. Domain/Site Flipping: If you’re good in marketing and have a decent knowledge of domain name and Websites, flipping can earn you the best. For domain what you’ve to do is buy a good domain and sell it using some marketplace like Flippa or websitebroker.

And for the site flipping, you have two options-

• If you’re very good in design and development then build your own site, do some SEO and bring some traffic. Then use some money making technique like AdSense, In-text ads etc. and when you see that site is now complete sell that using market place.

• Else buy a good website from above marketplace itself and do some required changes, increase some traffic and sell it at a higher price.

12. Sell Services: Sell those items in which you’re good. Suppose you’re good in designing offer design service to your customers and you can earn decent money. Similarly if you’re good in making plugins, writing etc. you can provide these services to your clients through your blog. You can check the services those I am providing here.

13. Freelance Work: You’re a good blogger. You know the secret as for how to bring traffic. You know how to make blog/website/product a brand. Then why don’t you make money by providing theses service for few hours? Isn’t this interesting? Yes. Register on some freelancing sites, prepare a strong profile and earn.

There are many freelancers sites where you can work. Check the list of top 5 freelancers sites.

14. E-Book Sell: Suppose you’re in blogging for a couple of years and you’ve earned a lot of experience and tips. Club those in a simple e-book and sell. Keep the prices depending upon the quality of the book and the ability to solve reader’s problem. You can take the help of WP E-Commerce to sell your book.

15. Membership Site: If you’ve written a good lesson, lecturers, and videos about something, you can start a membership site where you can teach the people those secrets by charging little money.

Even though the competition is more in this niche but still as technology is growing every second, there is great potential to earn.

3. Blogging Tutorial Niche

This is one of the most profitable blogging niche currently and competitive as well. A tutorial is a great source of learning. From a tutorial niche, by providing great tutorials about Blogging, SEO, Content marketing, Coding etc., you can help newbie a lot and in return, you can make a good number of loyal readers for your blog. These readers will help you to earn more from an affiliate.

Also Check: How I made $100 from a single Blog Post

Through blogging tutorial niche, though the earning through AdSense is a bit less as most of your readers would be bloggers, webmasters or the one who know about all these.

So, they easily know which is content and which is an ad. So these readers usually don't click on ads. But there is the great potential of earning through Affiliate, Sponsored review, and direct advertisements.

Blogging tutorials are also a big niche and if you want to focus on one particular area, you can target sub-niches like-

• SEO Tutorials
• Internet Marketing Tutorials
• Content Marketing guides
• Making money online guides etc.

As this niche is very profitable so competition is much and if you want to get success, you have to come up with unique contents and with the one which readers are looking for.

4. Business Niche

These types of blogs are very profitable for the upcoming entrepreneurs. By providing the relevant information like-

• How a newbie can start business
• How they can get success
• What are the risk and how to deal with those risks?
• How to get money to start business
• What is business plans etc.

By providing unique and real information, you can get lots of success in this niche. YourStory, StartUp Class, and onstartup etc. are blogs in the business niche.

The source of income in this niche is quite high and you can earn from many sources like AdSense, Direct Ads, Sponsored posts etc.

5. Insurance Niche

Insurance is one of the most profitable niches if we talk about earning from Google AdSense. Even you can get a CPC of $50-$60 from this niche. But at the same time, this is one of the highly competitive niches where you have to work really very hard to rank your blog.

So if you are ready to invest time and can work hard, this niche is for you. Again there are multiple sub-niches in Insurance niche-

• Health Insurance
• Automobile Insurance
• Property Insurance etc.

Google AdSense is the best source of income for these sub-niches even though you can earn from other different niches.

I am also working on one blog in Insurance niche and I will share my journey soon here.

6. Education Niche

Education is the basic necessity of any person. Since the evolution of technology, people tend to focus online for any education and so make this niche hot for online earning as well. You can start a blog on any sub-niche like-

• College and Universities’ information
• Courses information
• Syllabus and study materials.
• Tests and e-books etc.

This is one of the easiest niches to start. Here you can also do micro niche like a blog on the specific results. For example, Medical results, TISS results, engineering examination, etc.

7. Forex Trading

Forex trading is a trading currency from different countries against each other. For example, the currency of India is in INR and in the US it is Dollar. So the example of Forex trading would be buying dollars while selling rupee simultaneously.

Let me show you one example for better understanding. Like in 2014, one dollar was somewhere around 60 INR. If you could have bought 1000 dollars which have coasted you around 60k INR.

Currently, one dollar costs around 63 INR so if you have decided to sell those dollars, it's value will be 63k INR. So your profit is 3k INR. This is just an example.

The Marketer who does Forex trading keeps on finding the profitable market and currency and they easily earn $5k-$10k a month. Now let's get back to the point whether we should consider this as a blogging niche or not?

Forex trading is also good to start with but again this is a bit difficult to rank like Insurance due to huge competition. But if you are able to do so for a couple of keywords, you can easily earn a lot as the CPC for these keywords is quite high.

Also, you can get lots of advertisements and Sponsored post on such niche. So if you are all set to work hard, this is the niche for you.

8. Website Design, Domain & Hosting

To start any online business, you need primarily three things-

1. Web Design- This can be either hard coded or themes or customized themes.

2. A Domain Name- You can buy a domain name even for $0.99 or if you want to start with free, get a subdomain on BlogSpot/WordPress.

3. Hosting: To host a website/blog, you need space and hosting provide that space. You can even start with free hosting on Blogger/Wordpress.com

Must Check: How to select a good domain name for your blog

Now you can start a blog on this niche. But as this is a very big niche so you can take any sub-niche from it and can start. Few of those sub-niches may be

• Website Design Tutorials
• How to buy a good domain name/how to find expired domain etc.
• Best Hosting for websites/Best WordPress hosting etc.

Also Read: How to select the best design for your website

These are some of the sub-niches in this niche and are highly profitable. But here I would like to suggest you is, if you are ranking for this niche, don't use AdSense.

Because if you are getting clicks on the ad, you will earn somewhere around $0.5-$1.0, which is not much for a niche like hosting. Better use affiliate marketing here. Select any hosting company, Hostgator, BlueHost etc. and promote their offer.

If you are making any sell, you will earn at least $50 per sale, which 50-100 times of an AdSense click.

9. Social Media

You will agree with me here! Social media has become the need of one's life. Right? Yes. Daily Billions of people access the different social network all across the globe.

So, now I am sure you can judge the potential of this super niche. This is a vast niche and you can target one or two social platforms and can start a blog. Like you can target Facebook, G+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit etc and can start a blog where you can post the details about these social platforms. The details may include (considering example of Facebook)

• How to best use Facebook
• How to promote your business through Facebook Free
• How to do paid advertisement through Facebook.
• How to earn from Facebook
• How to use Facebook API on blogs/websites
• How to make post viral on Facebook
• Tips and Tricks related to Facebook etc.

These are the kind of contents that you can post on such blogs. Again there are different ways to earn from these kinds of blogs like AdSense, Sponsored Posts, CPA Networks etc.

10. Listen to your Heart

Last but not the least. In fact the most important one! Listen to your heart. Because if anything is done from your heart, that must get success. Decide which is that area where you are good and start on that. No niche is bad. If work properly, every niche can earn good amount of money. Let me tell you how you can select a niche from your interest.

Also Read: 5 Social Media Mistakes that Every Blogger should Avoid

Take a pen and paper and write down all the area which you like. This may include Entertainment, cricket, game etc. I am sure you will write 5-10 topics. Now think which is the area among all which will not bore you even if you will be with it for a whole day. I am sure you eliminate 3-4.

So, almost you are having 4-5 now. Now make a column for all 4-5 topics remaining and start writing the blog post topics, plans etc. And by the end of this select the area where you found the majority number of ideas.

By this way, you can select the niche which you really like and this will go forever. You will never get bored of it and easily success will come to you.

By Ashutosh Jha → Sunday, April 8, 2018

For many bloggers, Google AdSense is the main source of income. But still I have heard a lot that even they are getting 1K+ visitors daily, they hardly manage to earn only a few dollars (in the range of $5-10) per month. This is not fair..right?

Also, you may have seen many bloggers who are making thousands of dollars from AdSense itself. There must be something that they are following and you don’t. You have really worked hard to get a good traffic for your content then why not try some few hours’ of work to get the best out of it. Overall we are trying to earn from the work/product which we have done :)


There are few basic things which I want to mention here before going into details like first select a beautiful design and make sure you are not doing any mistakes at the initial level.

At this stage, I am considering that you are having an approved AdSense account and you are using their ads on your blog. If you don't have a fully AdSense approved account check tips to get AdSense approval. So below are few killer tips to get the best from AdSense account and I am sure after implementation you are going to earn best from it.

Responsive and ad-supported design

The very first requirement to earn from any ad is to have a good looking design of your blog and it should support the ads too. If you are having a design in which you can place the ad in the footer of the page, then how can you be sure that your user will go to the footer and will click on your ads? So select only those design which fulfills your blogging requirement and most importantly it should be responsive and should have space to place the ad units. You can read our article to select the best template for your blog here.

Use best keywords for your content

The selections of keywords are very important for the success of any online venture. In my previous article, I discussed the importance of keywords.

So before serving any ads on your site first check the density of keywords. You can find many keyword planner tools on the internet free of cost. Use any one of them and spend some time before selection. Just search in Google and you will find hundreds of such sites.

Below is some of the widely used website to plan the keywords-

• Google keyword planner
• SEMRush
• Wordpot (no longer available)
• SEO Book Keyword Toll
• Bing Keyword Planner

But I will recommend you to use the Google AdWords to select the keywords at least initially, later you can move to any other.

Take care of the tag: Content is King!

It’s only said that content is king, it has value. Just think what is the key from which you are trying to earn? It’s definitely your content. Due to the content, only people will come to your site so make your content rich blog. Rich content doesn't mean you will have anything, it should worth. I mean to say here is your content should have quality so that visitors will come to your blog. It’s well said that-

Your content needs to be likable, readable and shareable, to get maximum traffic.

From a survey, it has been found that more than a million blog post is getting posted on the net daily, so you should need to be unique to have readers. And most importantly you should write the content for your readers not for the search engines or any other stuff. Because once you will be able to build a relationship with your readers, another thing like popularity and money will come automatically.

Also, you should take care about the grammar, quality, and value of the content you write. You can also take help of tools to check grammar errors.

Write the blog post frequently (Daily or once in two days)

The frequency of posts on your blog should be good. You should write a blog daily or at least one in two days. This will help the search engine to keep active your blog and readers will get more engaged. The number of content you will have, the number of visitors you will get. From my personal experience, I am telling you, if any visitor searches for a particular topic and reaches out to your blog, after reading that, if you are having other effective posts also; at least they will visit them. So try to be regular while posting and keep the older blog active. Then put AdSense unit to each and every page to earn better.

Don’t spam

There are plenty of ways to get banned or penalized by Google. The most common are spamming. People try to spam the Google (highest market share in searching). Sometimes for few hours/days, they get success but the Google script is so will form that they will find you and can ban.

Do you want it? Of course not. You are well smart.

So don’t try to copy the content from any other site. Write your own view. Research well before writing and definitely you are going to get success.

Some days ago, I read a story on Facebook. A guy simply copied pasted some good post from top sites and made his own. Also, he used his AdSense and placed some ads and did some SEO and in 2 days made around $90. On the very third day, Google detected this and banned that person. So never let such case to happen.

Use correct AdSense format and styles

AdSense provides ads for the websites in several format sizes like-

• Medium rectangle (300 x 250)
• Large rectangle (336 x 280)
• Leaderboard (728 x 90)
• Large skyscraper (300 x 600)
• Large leaderboard (970 x 90)
• Banner (468 x 60)
• Skyscraper (120x600)
• Wide skyscraper (160x600)
• Square (250 x 250)
• Small square (200 x 200)

The below three are most famous and webmasters are widely using these-

• 336x280 large rectangle
• 300x250 medium rectangle
• 160x600 wide skyscraper

Another successful format is the 728x15 horizontal ad links, which can be placed on your navigation bar. So depending upon the space and requirement, select those which suits your blog.

Also while creating the AdSense unit, consider the colors (background and fonts) of ads too. They should not look odd. Google Ads with no background color and no borders will always perform better. It’s a good practice to keep the background of ad similar to your page background.

Increase AdSense units but don’t overflow

If you have good content on a page, increase the number of ad units, but don’t flood it. At most, you can use three units on a page, two AdSense search boxes and one unit of ad links. To earn more, always use at least one AdSense search box.

Also, your content should be written in reader perspective, not the AdSense prospective. I am repeating this line because; when bloggers start getting dollars they mainly focus on ads, not the content. But you should remember, due to content itself, you have received ads.

Use AdSense preview tool

To avoid any issue like ads are not looking good or they are not at the correct place, you can take help of AdSense preview tool. There are several such tools available on the internet free of cost using which you can preview the ad unit before actually placing it. Few of them are-

• Google AdSense Sandbox
• Webmaster tips
• Google Ad Preview

Use filter in AdSense

You can ban those ads from display on your blog which are not paying well. By doing this with less click also you can manage to earn more. Few highest paying keywords are-

• Note buyers
• Car accident lawyer
• Donate a car
• Investment fraud
• Search engine marketing
• Web hosting

To complete this list, I’ll write a separate post on highest paying keywords :) But again remember, display only relevant ads on your blog.

Follow the Law

You must follow the AdSense terms & conditions and policy. You can read their T&C here. These terms vary depending on the location. This guide will help you to understand their terms and policies and you will avoid doing mistakes.

Never modify AdSense HTML codes

You should never modify the generated HTML codes. If you are having a problem while placing the ads in your post, just drop your question below and we’ll find the solution and will help you. Never ever edit the code.

Also never place ads in pop-up windows, error pages, and empty pages. Else Google will instantly ban your account.

 Not to do list with AdSense

There are few basics points that you should not try to do with AdSense ads. Else this will result in termination. So below are the lists on which you need to be more conscious-

• Don’t click on your own ads and don’t even ask anyone to click.
• Don’t use the ads on the adult sites
• Don’t change the code of AdSense units
• Don't employ cloaking, hidden text or farm links
• Don’t place AdSense ads on the same page where you have Yahoo or some other ads that AdSense policy don’t allow

Conclusion: Making good money from AdSense is not too hard but at the same time it’s not too easy also. A lot of hard work and patience needed. But after following the above tips I am sure you are going to make good from it.
