A Website of Your Own

The one thing you'll need of course, is your own website!   If you do not know the basics of creating a website, or do not understand how to copy or paste some basic html, do not fear-there are many excellent programs that can build a website for you, though you'll have to do a little extra work on your own.  Now back to your website. Follow the few simple rules here and you'll be on the right track.

Rule #1: Make sure your site is on a subject you enjoy writing about and know something about.  

It may be on a hobby, area of expertise, whatever! Perhaps its on how to mend a leaky roof, your trip to Patagonia, collecting art deco figurines, or how to create low-fat recipes. Now, I’m not taking about a one page website thrown up on the web, but a  minimum 10 page site is a good place to start. Each page should probably be about 300-500 words on average to be on the safe side including captions, figures etc. Your content should be original. It is fine to conduct your own research on the web for inspiration, and write your  content based on this, but do not copy anyone else's material! Also do not take anyone else's copy, change a few words here and there, and call it your own. Copyright violations are usually taken very seriously and furthermore, if your site is believed to be a copy of materials already published elsewhere on the web, you may be dropped from the AdSense program. But if your website is something you're passionate about, you shouldn't have to worry about coming up with good content on your own, and you should be able to churn out 10 pages in a couple of weeks.  

There is a widespread practice of using free articles to build a website. Again, if your website is based largely on materials that have already been published elsewhere, your site may not rank as highly in the search engines or be accepted into the Google AdSense program. It is fine to use free articles, but do so sparingly and only when you feel it will complement existing content on your site.

Rule #2: Make sure your website is on something that other people are interested in as well.

If you site is on some esoteric subject on which you are the sole expert, and for which virtually no market exists, such as 'Prison Ruins of Ancient Mesopotamia' or 'Molecular Biology of Parasitic Snails,' you may as well stop here and broaden your interests. Go on, google these two examples and see how many sponsored links show up. (This is another good way of testing how relevant your website topic is-the more sponsored links there are for your website topic, the more likely it is to be a suitable candidate for AdSense). Now I have nothing against ancient prison ruins or parasitic snails, but if you wish to monetize your website through AdSense, there needs to be a real market for the information you are presenting. Sometimes you will hit the jackpot by finding a 'niche' interest that no one has yet filled in the web ecosystem.  

Many of the things people are most interested are illegal, or frowned upon. Google has made its own  list of topics it deems objectionable which are not eligible for the AdSense Program(some of these are listed below). You cannot display AdSense ads on such websites.   

Google does NOT accept websites into AdSense that include: Excessive profanity Violence, racial intolerance, or advocate against any individual, group, or organization Hacking/cracking content Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia Pornography, adult, or mature content Gambling or casino-related content Sales or promotion of certain weapons, such as firearms, ammunition and brass knuckles ; beer or hard alcohol ; tobacco or tobacco-related products; prescription drugs; products that are replicas or imitations of designer goods For a full list of ineligible sites, see Google AdSense Policies
