Get Approved for Adsense in 5 Easy Steps
Get Approved for Google Adsense - My Easy 5 Step Guide Reveals How
Do you want to get approved for Google Adsense, BUT you don't have a single clue about how to go about getting your Adsense publisher ID?
It's been a while - a little more than 5 years since I was approved for my Adsense ID, but I do remember the frustration over not knowing what to do or how to do it. I was so fed up with the lack of information on how to get approved for Adsense (I guess the internet marketing 'guru's' were too busy selling their "how to make a bagillion dollars with Adsense" info-products to bother with such a minor detail), that I set out to figure it out for myself. So I set up a little experiment on Blogger, figured out the process and received my Adsense publisher ID 6 days after setting up my Blogger experiment. And while things have changed a bit since I was approved for Adsense 5 years ago, I don't see any reason why you can't get your Adsense publisher ID following the same steps.
This lens reveals EXACTLY what you need to do to in 5 simple to follow steps. I'm going to lay out the 5 steps and add in some additional tips that will prove to be helpful to you.

Clueless About Getting Approved for Adsense? Read this ...
I was approved for my Google Adsense publisher ID on 4/7/07. It's true! It took me just 6 days total time to get approved. That's 6 days from 4/1/07 the day I began the project, until 4/7/07 the day I received my welcome email message from Google Adsense. All I did was to follow the same exact 5 steps that I'm revealing here on this page.
NOTE: As I mentioned in the introduction a few things have changed since April 2007. Google has become a wee bit more "sensitive" about certain niche topics and there have been a number of search engine algorithm changes, chief among which have been the initial and subsequent Panda and Penguin updates. Yes, these algorithm changes have had a MAJOR IMPACT on search engine rankings, but even more so on content quality. These changes affect (1) your choice of viable blog topics, and (2) the content you will use for this project - specifically, the quality, the length and the number of blog posts.
BUT in spite of the things that have changed since I first put this guide together, I believe you can still get approved for Google Adsense by following the 5 steps I present here on this page. But before I reveal the 5 steps, in the next text module I'm going to give you what I believe is THE key to me getting my Adsense account.
THE 1ST Key to Getting Approved for Google Adsense
Pick a Niche With Commercial Appeal
The FIRST Key to me getting approved for my Adsense publisher ID on the very first attempt was: choosing a niche topic that had commercial value.
What does "Commercial Value" Mean?
Here's what I mean by Commercial Value:
the niche topic or related search terms are attractive enough for advertisers with a product or service to sell, to run pay-per-click (PPC) ad campaigns on Google's Adwords program. When doing research on potential niche topics, you MUST make sure there are a number of PPC campaigns running (in the search engine results) for the search terms. If you don't see any PPC ads or you only see a handful of ads (3 or fewer), take a pass on that topic and choose another niche that has a higher commercial value to focus on.

The Best Research Tools You Need For This Project Are Free
3 Powerful Google Research Tools You Can Use to Uncover High Commercial Value Niche Topics
Tools. When it comes to tools to help you research potential niche markets to target, there's an overabundance of them in my opinion. So many that you need a tool (or at least a "how to" guide) to help you pick the right one for your online projects! But for the purpose of finding niches that have high commercial value, Google offers 3 excellent tools you can use. They are easy to work with, provide you with info based on Google's own data and best of all ... they're FREE!
The 3 Google tools you can use to discover worthwhile niche topics for this project are: 1.Google Insights for Search , 2.Google Trends , and 3.Google External Keyword tool .
These are my favorite free niche research tools. With them you can quickly take some seed ideas, get the trends for those ideas, see what geographic areas have the most interest in these ideas, get keyword search terms from those seed ideas and create keyword lists for this project. In the next 3 modules I'm going to give you 3 YouTube video tutorials to help you get the most out of using these 3 tools.
How to Use Google Insights for Search
This excellent video tutorial reveals how to use the Google Insights for Search tool to do deep level keyword research starting with a seed topic. The great thing about this Google tool is it can help you generate topic ideas even when you have no ideas to start with!

Google Trends for Niche Research Tutorial
How to Use the Google Trends Tool for Niche Research
This YouTube video shows you how to use the Google Trends tool to gauge behavior for the keywords you generated with Google Insights for Search. This tutorial, unlike a number of the Google Trends videos on YouTube, is current for 2012. That means it shows how the tool works now (in terms of hot trends results, which are limited to the top 20), NOT how it used to work (it used to give you the top 100 hot trends for any given day).

Using Google's External Keyword Tool
How to Use The New External Keyword Tool For Keyword Research
Now that you have generated some ideas for commercial search terms that you believe would make a great topic for this project and you've analyzed the trends for these search terms, it's time to create a list of keywords that you can target. This YouTube video will show you how to use Google's External Keyword Tool to create a list of keywords.

Google Tool Poll Module
What's Your Favorite Google Tool?
Personally, I like to use Insights for Search and the External Keyword Tool before running the keyword ideas generated through Traffic Travis Pro (I have version 4). But what I would really like to know is which Google tool YOU prefer to use. So please take a few seconds and answer this poll question. Thanks!

Setting Up Blogger Is Easier Than 1-2-3
The set up for Blogger is very simple. And back in 2007 when I was approved for Adsense, it was cool to include info on how to set up Blogger in this lens, but today it takes a back seat to what really matters: choosing a niche topic with strong commercial value, and writing unique, high quality content that's helpful to someone searching for information on your niche topic.
So I've removed the modules that went through Step 1: Setting up your account, Step 2: Naming your Blogger blog & choosing a URL, andStep 3: Making your Blogspot look like a real website. You really don't need a module-by-module walk through, because Google has made Blogger even easier to work with. Just watch the YouTube video tutorial in the next module.

What to Do If You Really Have Difficulty Writing Blog Content
Advice and Resources You Can Use to Create Blog Content
If you really think it's going to be a struggle to create good, readable content for this project, here's some advice .....
Use Private Label Rights (PLR): But Use It Very, VERY Carefully
If you really have trouble writing, I suggest you (1) buy a relatively inexpensive, but good quality PLR article pack from Tiffany Dow's PLR MiniMart , Lisa Stoops' PLR aLaCarte or Ruth Pound's NetPLR . I've purchased some excellent PLR content from all 3 and I highly recommend each of them without any reservation, because they offer high quality PLR that's well researched and well written (which, in my opinion, makes it MUCH easier for you to do a high quality rewrite); (2) subscribe to a free service like iCurrent.com, Trendfetch.com or Google Alerts to get updates on the topic of the PLR you bought; and (3) use a Evernote or Pocket to clip, copy & organize the topic updates you receive. This is a super easy way to help you rewrite and make the articles unique, as well as more valuable. Doing this also helps you become more knowledgeable about your niche topic and provides you with even more ideas for creating new content.
You really have to be very smart about how you go about using private label rights content on your Blogger blog (or any other platform). Any PLR articles or blog posts you use MUST be very high quality rewrites of the original; it cannot be used "as is".

A Word (or Two) About Rewrites....
DON'T BE LAZY and just do some simple synonym replacements with an article spinner! Youmust edit, rewrite and beef up the content, from your own perspective. Also add relevant images and YouTube videos to your blog posts to add more value to your PLR content. And where possible, add a link or two to relevant content on authority sites. Run your rewritten articles through CopyScape or another online tool to compare your rewrite against the original PLR article.
Back in the day -- before the 'Panda' and 'Penguin' updates, many internet marketing experts said it was okay to do a light rewrite that was 35 - 55% unique. But doing that level of PLR rewrite today would be a complete waste of your time and will get you nowhere fast! Personally, I do rewrites that are at least 85 - 90% unique on all PLR articles that I use. Andd that's the level I recommend you aim for with your rewrites. Sometimes I use the PLR article to model an entirely new article after. Yes, it's a lot more work, but the end result - very high quality content - is well worth the effort.

Step 4: Create High Quality Content That's Relevant, Helpful and Current!
THE 2ND Key to Getting Approved for Adsense
Even though I'm listing it as the 2nd key, I believe it's the most important aspect of this project, because without having quality content that's relevant to your niche topic, timely and above all, helpful, it's going to be next to impossible to get approved for Google Adsense.
When Google rolled out the initial 'Panda' update (a/k/a the 'Farmer' update) to it's search engine algorithm in February of 2011 (and the 'Penguin' update earlier in 2012), Google wanted to improve user experience by weeding out thin low quality blogs and websites that were gaming the system from their search engine rankings. The initial and subsequent monthly updates have made it clear that Big G is placing a lot of value on (a) content quality, (b) the relevance of content to a search inquiry, (c) how helpful content is likely to be to a site page visitor, and (d) content freshness.
I'm changing what I'm recommending you do with respect to (1) the number of posts you create, and (2) the length of those blog posts. So you want to write informative, relevant blog posts that are well written, have no misspellings or errors in grammar. Number of posts: I would NOT apply for my Adsense publisher ID with just 3 - 4 blog posts now; I would spread it out to at least 7 blog posts (the number of posts really depends on your topic and length of your posts).Length: At the low end, 500 - 600 words and at the high end, more than 1,000 words in length. Don't flip out over post length ... focus on giving Google the high quality content it wants.
This is completely different than what I did to get approved for the Adsense program in 2007, but it is a prime example of how quickly things can change up in the internet marketing world. You're still going to post content to your blog every other day. For example, if you make your initial posts on Monday, you'll make your next group of posts on Wednesday and your final post on Friday.
Here's what I did: I created 2 detailed, unique 650 word posts on my subject that were very informative. I spaced the posts 2 days apart, added a detailed topic related "About" page and added an RSS feed covering news about my topic. The day after I made the 2nd post, a Saturday, I applied for my Adsense publisher ID. I was approved the same day.
In case you're wondering about the topic I chose, I chose a medical condition. There was commercial intent and there was a decent amount of Adwords ads running for the search terms that I wanted to focus on, so I ran with it.
4 steps down, 1 more step to go to get approved for your Adsense publisher ID.
Step 5: Apply for Your Adsense Publisher ID!
Step 5 - apply for your Adsense publisher ID
You can apply for Adsense through Blogger.com from your blogspot's Template tab under Page Elementssub heading or you can submit your application thru the main sign up page for Adsense . Click the sign up now button and follow the instructions.
That's it - if you followed the instructions in this lens you will be approved for Google Adsense in 2 - 3 days.
