  • Own domain (no free subdomains like .blogspot.com for standard approval)
  • Privacy policy, disclaimer, and about pages must exist
  • Must have organic traffic (some amount — even 100 visitors/day)

After Approval: Maximising AdSense Revenue

Place ads strategically: above the fold, within article content, and at the end of posts. Use Auto Ads for initial placement, then optimise manually. Monitor your RPM (Revenue Per 1000 impressions) and focus on growing traffic to high-RPM niches.
