How to Activate your AdSense Account
In order for you to show ads on your site and earn there, you need to activate your AdSense account after creating it. This ranges from performing a few tasks on the AdSense homepage to ensuring that your site complies with Google Policies.
Account
activation process
After
creating your AdSense account, on the home page of your AdSense, there is a list
of tasks to complete before Google can activate your AdSense account. The tasks
are below and can be carried out in any order;
1.
Enter your
payments information
·
Enter
your full name exactly as it appears on your banking information.
· Provide
the full postal address of your bank account, including the zip code, so you
can get paid.
·
Provide
a valid phone number.
2. (Optional) See how ads look on your site:
Consider
turning on Auto
ads so
that ads will appear on your site as soon as your account is activated.
3.
Connect
your site to AdSense:
· Your
site must be live and contain enough content for our specialists to evaluate.
If your site is under construction, doesn't load, or is difficult to navigate,
Google can't activate your account.
· Make
sure you provided the correct URL when you created your AdSense account.
·
Review
your site to make sure it complies with Google Program policies.
·
Copy
the code exactly as it appears on your AdSense homepage.
·
Paste
the code between the <head> and </head> tags
of a page that contains content and gets regular traffic.
Upon
completion of the tasks, Google reviews the payment information you have
provided to make sure they are correct. They also check your entire site to
know if it complies with the AdSense
Program policies.
This
activation process usually takes a few days before it is completed, though in
some cases it can take 2-4 weeks. Once the activation process is complete,
Google sends you a mail notifying you that your account is fully activated.
Now,
you can set up ads on your site and
start earning money on it. If you have already turned on Auto ads on your site, Google
ads will automatically start to show on your site.
It
is important that while you are waiting to activate your AdSense account, you
get your site privacy ready. Make sure that your site is complying with privacy
regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) before you start showing ads to your users.
Also, note that Google gives you 6 months to complete all the steps and activate your
AdSense account. If you are unable to complete the process after 6 months, your
account will be deactivated.
What
happens if Google can't activate your account
If
Google can't activate your account, they will send you an email to explain why
and what steps you can take to address the issues. You can learn more
about what to do if AdSense can't activate your account.
