Lately Google Adsense went hard on its publishers especially Pakistani's disabling their revenue generating Adsense Accounts without any sound reason.
A lot of reasons were cited for this massive targeted ban, the paramount importance of which was the unfriendly ties between Pakistan and USA, upcoming SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) but it's really hard to figure out the exact reason for this injustice.
A plenty of bloggers these days have the misconception of viewing Google Adsense as closed for new publishers but matter of the fact remains Google Adsense is now reserved only for high traffic websites but if you offer a certain level of quality within your content then Google won't mind serving their adverts on your site.
Useful Tips for Adsense Account approval 2012
Although from 2012 onwards getting a new Adsense account is extremely difficult courtesy the strict and constantly updated Program Policies but it is not impossible.
Getting an Adsense Account requires substantial efforts but if you succeed in getting one then it's a great way to monetize your website. Here are some useful tips to get an Adsense Account approved in 2012 and so on.
1- Reading Traffic Increase Tips is Prohibited:-
If you have done some research either about Adsense Account approval or about how to earn money online you might have observed a majority of Google search results for this niche are obsessed with Indian Blogs. These blogs earn money by telling people spam ways to multiply their Adsense income within a relatively short period which is almost impossible especially under the revised Google Adsense Program Policies.
Beware these blogs reproduce the same old tricks to dodge all newbies so the only place to do some research is Google Help Forum.
2- Purchase a Top Level Domain Name
Gone are days when Google Adsense was in its growth phase and accepted applications for Blogspot and WordPress hosted blogs. It is now compulsory for a publisher to have a top-level domain name i.e .com,.net,.info,.org etc. with the domain ownership details exactly matching the real one's used for applying into Google Adsense Program.
I know this sounds weird at the first sight but Google Adsense had to take this step to combat with a few ill minded persons that exploited this exception kept to encourage publishers sign up.
Although it is not compulsory but you need to own a top-level domain name for at least 6 months before you could apply for an Adsense Account on it.
3 - Create Useful and Original Content:-
Although this is an ongoing job but you need to divert more focus upon creating unique and appealing useful content during the early days of your website launch. Try to at least write 25 meaningful posts or articles before applying to the Google Adsense Program. Try your level best not to give away any links to software downloads on an external website otherwise Google might reject you in suspicion of SOPA violation.
4- Design your site to improve user experience:-
Say no piracy. If you are a blogger/webmaster then try to learn designing your own WordPress Theme/Website Template instead of downloading pirated versions of premium themes/ templates available over the internet.
Your website should have a clear navigation that can clearly be distinguished from other sections of your website and try to avoid any spam tag cloud.
5- Up to Date Privacy Policy:-
In order to allow Google Adsense Adverts being served on your website you need to have an updated privacy policy clearly describing about the Google Double Dart Cookies used by Adsense to track user preferences. You need to clearly tell the Google Double Dart Cookie just collects general information that only too when one of the Adsense advert is clicked. Tell your users Google never collects their name, credit card numbers, address or anything personal, tell users how they could opt out of Google Double Dart Cookies.
Conclusion:-
Although these tips are worthwhile and a compulsion to follow for legal approval of an Adsense Account from 2012 onwards but these tips are not 100% correct. If you get rejected or disabled through Google Adsense Program then it's not the end of the world. You could definitely earn much more with affiliate marketing and paid reviews. Remember signing up for a Google Adsense is not hard but keeping the account active while earning substantial amount of money is indeed an art.
