Google's eligibility criteria span four categories. You must satisfy all "Required" criteria—failing even one will result in rejection.
Original, High-Quality Content
Your site must have original content that serves real user needs—not scraped, copied, or AI-generated filler. Google evaluates depth, expertise, and whether users would find your content genuinely useful.
Privacy Policy Page
A legally compliant Privacy Policy that mentions the use of third-party cookies for advertising (specifically Google's ad technology) must be accessible from every page via a footer link.
Policy Compliance
Your site must not contain content that violates AdSense Program Policies: no adult content, no copyrighted material, no gambling content, no dangerous products, no hate speech.
Site Ownership & Access
You must own or control the site. Content behind logins, password-protected pages, or sites under construction cannot be reviewed. Pages must be publicly accessible.
About & Contact Pages
While not always explicitly required, the absence of an About page and Contact page is a common rejection trigger—Google uses them to verify your site is operated by a real person or entity.
HTTPS & Mobile-Friendly
Sites using HTTP instead of HTTPS face steep disadvantages. Mobile usability is expected, not optional—the majority of web traffic is now mobile, and Google's review reflects this.
Domain Age (Regional)
In China and India, sites must be at least 6 months old. In other regions, there's no official age requirement, but newer sites with thin content are frequently rejected.
Established Traffic
No official minimum, but sites with no organic traffic are harder to evaluate. A pattern of real, engaged users strengthens your eligibility—especially for newer sites.
What automatically disqualifies a site from AdSense
| Disqualifier | Severity | Can It Be Fixed? |
|---|---|---|
| Adult or explicit content | Blocks Approval | Yes—remove or gate the content |
| Copyrighted material without license | Blocks Approval | Yes—remove or obtain license |
| Previously banned AdSense account | Permanent Ban | Generally no—a new account is prohibited |
| Missing Privacy Policy | Blocks Approval | Yes—add within hours |
| Thin or low-value content | Common Rejection | Yes—rewrite articles with depth |
| Site under construction or private | Blocks Approval | Yes—make site publicly accessible |
| Traffic from prohibited sources | Common Rejection | Yes—stop prohibited traffic, wait 4-6 weeks |
AdSense Eligibility Questions
What are the requirements for AdSense eligibility?
To be eligible for AdSense, your site must: have original, high-quality content; comply with Google's content and Publisher policies; have an About page, Contact page, and Privacy Policy; use HTTPS; and have sufficient content for Google to assess quality. In China and India, the site must be at least 6 months old.
Is there a minimum traffic requirement for AdSense?
Google does not publish an official minimum traffic requirement for AdSense. Sites with very low traffic can be approved if the content quality is high. However, low traffic combined with thin content is a common rejection pattern.
Does AdSense require a minimum number of posts?
There is no official minimum post count. However, sites with fewer than 15–20 high-quality articles rarely pass the review. The focus should be on content quality and whether your site serves a clear, helpful purpose.
Can I apply for AdSense with a free domain?
Yes, free subdomains (like .blogspot.com or .wordpress.com) can be approved for AdSense through their respective platform's AdSense integration. However, custom domains generally have higher approval rates and give you more control over your setup.
Can I have multiple websites on one AdSense account?
Yes. Once your AdSense account is approved, you can add additional sites under the same account. Each added site goes through its own policy review before ads can serve on it.
