    When to get adsense ?

    Hey everyone

    Just wondering, if I have a site. Currently there is not very much traffic on it. I was wondering, if I should wait until the site becomes active before I get adsense ? So that the $/click would be higher ? Cause if I get now... it pays quite little correct ? Even if my site becomes active later, it will still pay a low amount /click ?

    Kindly enlighten me on it....thanks

    you have to have some traffic before you can get approved
    If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

    As far as I know... if you have a site that meets the guide lines then not much traffic is ok. I submitted on site the same day it went online and they approved it. I was the only visitor to the site... but it had content there.

    I dont think the bussiness of your site would make a difference to how much you get per click. I think they work it on a system depending how much the advertiser is paying google and you get a % of that amount.

    I would just apply now if your site is ready and has content.

    Not that I know of.

    My site got approved and it's just a site about Pocket PC's and it breezed through the signup and aproval process.

    My friend signed up the day before and his website was about his family and they said no because it wasnt a commercial site or something like that.

    I think it just depends on when you hit a minimum amount of $$$

    You get anything you have in your account at the end of year unless you told them to hold it back... they offered me a $7 cheque and I just told them to forget it. Next cheque was okay but then they cancled my account for fradulent clicks which they cannot provide log or prove of any sorts for. After multiple inquiries and still get no response. I just give up with them... horriable service...

    What you make per click isn't dependent upon how many visitors you have, or how many clicks you generate.

    If the site's complete and appropriate for adsense, there's really no reason to wait.

    get some content on there so the ads can be be slotted in - and remember never ever ever click on one of your own ads. If an ad placed on your page interests you then investigate from your address bar, never from your own site

    as you can see from an earlier post by Alfarin, google are very actively watching and if they decide to stop your account they will stop it and won't supply you with details

    lol, you dont get to chose the ads shown, it all depends on your content, google will match the ads with your content
