How long does a site have to be live before it can apply for an adsense account

Just wondering

 

5 Minutes, It doesnt matter

 

You are so wrong. before you can get a adsense account the domain must be at least six months old.

 

Yes, this is a rather new guideline they've put on us. But, if you have a lot of content-original, you may be able to appeal graciously.

 

When did this go in effect? Because I applied for an adsense account the same day I registered a domain and the website had 0 content on it about 2 weeks ago and got approved within hours.

 

It's been longer than that....but - You didn't read their TOS?

 

Yes the website should be 6 months old.

 

Probably they did not check it thoroughly and hence your application was approved ...

 

Is it the "website"? Or the "domain" that should be 6 months old?

When I first applied for Adsense account, I used a newly bought domain that is already 5 years old. The "website" on that domain was live in just 24 hours, and my Adsense account request for that site was approved within just a few hours, and ads have started showing up since then.

 

One of my friends recently applied with blogspot blog and he got approved . His site was not more than a week old.

 

It doesnt matter before year 2009. However, it request to be at least 6 month since beginning of year 2009

 

5 minutes is more then enough .ads will come in 15 minutes..

 

the adsense TOS have changed and to a site to run ads site must be live for min of 6 months

 

It is possible that adsense account should be 6 month old for getting ads....If any one have any reference where adsense has mentioned that 6 months is minimum period please mention here...

 

My blog is approved after 10 minutes old.........

 

Yes, because Google wants to wait for 6 months to see whether the guy would turn into a click maniac in that span of time.

 

Actually, I have been searching everywhere to find the link directly to Adsense site (or blog post) stating the latest rule but I have not find any.

But if they are only allowing a 6 month old blog, then I think it's really better. That time, I suppose a blog has already sufficient search engine traffic.

 

Strange.


So, they are approving sites that is no older than a day yet their ToS says a site has to be 6 months old (according to people on here)?

Are they trying to trap us then? Have us make $$ for them and then ban us before we get our big checks?


Hmmm....

 

A friend made a site that was two days old not much content and somehow got approved.

 

minimum 6 month olds.
