Nowadays, the Google AdSense approval process has become much easier than before. I applied with the Google Adsense program two times in the year 2016 and it got rejected all the times citing the following reasons.
1. Need to write more text content with appropriate sentences and paragraphs.
2. Site has to be completely built and published.
3. Site should not disclose any prohibited content that is mentioned in the AdSense policy.
3. Site should have a proper navigation menu to access all pages from anywhere on the site.
Finally, my application got approved for the third time attempt in 2017. Since then, my AdSense ads are placed on my different blogs and sites. But, I was not writing posts and updating content properly. So, my Adsense earnings are not much to that extent.
We can not conclude that it is impossible to earn handsome money from blogging and AdSense. It is up to how we manage our blog from time to time.
What types of websites are recommended for applying with AdSense?
There is no restriction on the niche of websites. You can proceed to apply with any niche website. Some of the website ideas you may try are:
1. Tips and motivation blogs.
2. Learning and tutorial blogs on any particular niche.
3. eCommerce websites
4. News websites
5. Products reviewing websites
6. Membership and community websites like ISC.
But, the amount of earnings depends on the niche category you select. For education and insurance-related content, AdSense earnings are high when compared to other niches.
Skills required for blogging:
Writing quality content is not only the requirement to get traffic to your blog. You have to tune up by doing some online and offline SEO workouts. Both are important factors that affect the traffic of websites directly. You may have to spend time learning SEO and digital marketing. There are several sites teaching and writing content about SEO tips.
Apart from that, there are some simple tips and easy-to-remember facts about SEO:
1. Social sharing.
2. Keyword analysis.
3. Quality writing with a good readability score.
4. Proper content with a good on-site SEO score.
There are also some alternatives to Google AdSense like media.net, Infolinks, etc. Finally blogging is the best online earning opportunity that anyone can try with simple and basic knowledge of web development.
