How long does it typically take to get into the publisher network? I applied late last week and was hoping they would be speedy with the process.
They approve in batches, so it depends on when they process the batch of applications yours is in - which seems to be about once a month. Several weeks to a month or more in not uncommon. Some people who applied last year are still waiting. Took a couple of weeks for me.
ok, I think I made a mistake and put my main site as opposed to an example of where I am going to be putting ads.
You should apply with your "best" site - you can then place the code on any site you have as long as the site doesn't violate their TOS. IMO, they place more weight on looks and original content than traffic.
