Blogspot URL is not accepted for Adsense anymore

Tweet

If you are already an Adsense Member, you may not know that Google recently tightened up their acceptance policies for their popular Adsense program. Gone are the days when you can throw up a quick blogger blog today and get accepted into the Adsense program by tomorrow. According to their policies, you must adhere to the following guidelines... 1. Your website must sit on a top-level domain (yoursite.com and not yoursite.host.com) 2. Your Domain must be active for atleast 6 months. 3. Your Adsense application info must match your domain records. Due to the fact that i am already a member, I was not aware of some of these policies until i visited the blogger site and read their new guidelines. If you are an Adsense publisher, understand that being a member is a privilige and not a right. Some webmasters seem to feel they are entitled to get paid by Google because they have a website, but as i stated erlier, Google's top priority is the Adwords advertisers. We the publishers are helping Google advertise and Google is paying us a percentage of what they earn. If the advertisers complain about the quality of the sites or click fraud, then it is in Google's best interest to rectify the situation. Now ofcourse, the Adwords advertisers can choose not to display their ads on the publisher websites, but that is not the point. Publishers need to respect and understand how the Adwords and Adsense relationship works. If you think about it, everyone wins in the end. If the overall quality of the publisher sites improve, more Adwords advertisers may opt in to display their ads on our websites, thus giving us publishers the opportunity to arn more.
