In some locations, including China and India, we also require publishers to have owned their sites for 6 months. We've taken this step to ensure the quality of our advertising network and protect the interests of our advertisers and existing publishers. https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=75109 Too much of sex created too much of population in these 2 countries coz of which adsense got too many publishers and too many foul plays. So i believe adsense took this decision keepin the above things in mind to restrict chinese and indian publishers to have their site on for atleast for 6 months b4 they apply for adsense account, and the site says for only china and india means the rest can apply even the 2nd day frm the site creation date .
@Original poster , This rules apply to every adsense account. I don't think anybody with site less than 6 months old are allowed to register adsense , although when you have adsense account than anyone can apply adsense on a website created 1 hour before.
Bad new for those countries. It might also happen to Indonesia if Adsense for Content is available for Indonesian language.
I think same rule applies to every adsense account. Minimum 6 months to be passed before applying for adsense regardless of location. Or what indians and chinese will do is to create adsense account using forwarding street address in usa.
It affected the users who does fair play. But for those who have foul plays, that's a good step. And it helps protect us advertisers to lessen our losses due to manipulations.
Blame it on yourself and the nation, not Adsense. India and China are incredibly popular for fraud. And Im not even talking about this two countries involved into MFAs with niches like pharmacy.
thank god i registered for adsense a lot time back..or else would have had to wait for 6 months..but its not an appreciative move by GOOGLE..
In every country there are some people who act falsely but that does not mean the whole nation is to be blamed..please don't get this topic to goto abusive level by talking about countries and all..!!
Thanks for not saying that India and China are the only reason for making your nation to get the highest suicides & homicides in the world!
