AdSense Not Recognizing .CO Domain

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by dbpublic, Dec 16, 2014.

    I have a blog with a .co domain extension. When I signup for AdSense, the system is showing me the error below.

    URL must not have a path (example.com/path) or subdomain (subdomain.example.com).

    They also showed me a "learn more" link which it direct me to https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2784438

    So basically my domain is something like blog.mydomain.co - it's a blog about technologies. Does Google accept .co domain for AdSense?

    "blog.mydomain.co" ... is a subdomain! As it said "URL must not have a path (example.com/path) or subdomain (subdomain.example.com)." ... nothing to do with .co

    Oh my god. Can't believe I missed this error. Thank you so much. Now I can proceed with signing up at AdSense.

    Don't get your hope up too high that you will be approved because:
    tend not to get approved very often. What is the URL?

    AdSense don't approve a blog relating to technologies? Like, hosting, linux, domain, etc. I'll drop you the URL via PM.

    Generally they don't. Adsense not only require UNIQUE content, but also COMPELLING content. The technology niche is so way over saturated it is nearly impossible to offer a new site for adsense that has UNIQUE and COMPELLING content, as the content already exists on a zillion other sites... the only way to get a tech blog approved these days is to really stand out from the pack and offer something really unique and compelling. (and by unique, that does not mean passing copyscape!)

    Send me a PM and I can give an indication of what I think your chances might be.
