6 months active domain to join Adsense program for new publisher?

Advertisement

I still remember the day when I applied for Adsense account almost 3 years ago. The only adsense 6 months active domain to join Adsense program for new publisher?site that I have is on Googlepages (not Google Sites), which is about 2 months old if I’m not mistaken. Since then I never apply for a new account.. you know, that is against Adsense TOS.

So it is quite surprising to know that Google now require the new applicant to have at least domain that active for 6 months. Seriously, I can’t find anywhere in Term and Condition, Program Policies. If this is indeed truth, anyone thinking of registering for Adsense account should thinking twice before doing that. Just to make sure that Google didn’t keep the record of your application before, in assessing your application.

Just curious if this is just not written rules applied for new publishers? For current publishers however, they’re free to put Adsense code onto their new website, as long as it is not under construction and fully compliance with Adsense’s terms of use. The Adsense ads will immediately appear after a while.

This is something new, and let see if Google is going to make this official rules.

    I am not sure this proves anything by blocking people for 6 months, there are probably plenty of ways to get around this including purchasing an expired domain.

    I didn’t know that. I just bought a domain 3 months ago. This means that I can’t put any adsense code on that domain. Glad I read your post..thanks =)

    @Blinkky, if you already have Adsense account, I don’t think there us reason why you can’t put any Adsense ads. This is only for people who want to apply to be new adsense publisher

    if the domain is just 3 months old? I still can put the adsense code?

  5. Yes, it looks true. I was doing a research and this is what I found. Here are three conditions new publisher need to qualify in order to get accepted.

    1) Your website must sit on a top-level domain (yoursite.com not yoursite.host.com).

    2) Your domain must be active for at least 6 months.

    3) Your AdSense application info must match your domain records.

    In order to make money online people must understand that they are starting a business and like every business it needs investments and works. So if people are not ready to spend $1-$10 per month for website hosting then this opportunity is not for them.

    It makes lot of sense why google is doing that?
