i don't think its right. Google only concern with site quality and what type of content you post on your site.
I am from China. Maybe I am building a education website, Google approved me in 2 days. It depends what kind of website you are building, I think.
Even though they do, i think if you have some good content.....and design....with a good domain name even the 6 months limit is not considered.....
Look at your own site. Do you think your site deserve to get adsense approval. You are calling CL postings copy pasting business and your english is so good Best of luck
Funny thing! The website in question is asking people to pay $45 to get a named Adsense approved account, and his account himself has not been approved by Google! Its hard to understand why people start complaining about not being approved by Google for the simple reason of belonging to any particular country or community (yes somebody did complain in another thread about not being approved simply because of his belonging to a particular community). The reality is entirely different. Google is primarily a money making commercial organization and gets its revenue by providing services to people and is least bothered as to who is using that service, unless its being used for unlawful activity which is very difficult to monitor. Why would Google be bothered about the locality at all? In fact Google will be more happy if its is being recognized and accepted as a reliable source of information in a particular area. It then goes all out to please that area by putting up a region specific engine, like www.google.co.in, putting up offices in local cities, hiring up local personnel and so on. The more reliable it is considered in an area, more will be the number of visitors to its sites; and naturally more $$$ The only issue Google is concerned with, is the quality of the content on sites. Google is aware that if it accepts poor quality sites, or sites with plagiarized content, ads shown on them would not be able to give good results. And if that happens, like people doing click fraud just for the sake of earning money from Adsense, the advertiser is the immediate loser. He does not get value for his money, and his ROI goes down. In that case, he is least likely to approach Google again for putting up his ads. Ultimately Google is the one who suffers most. This is the basic reason why Google is very strict about the quality of the content, and approving such accounts. There are so many people from India and Pakistan region who are earning handsomely and there is no reason why everybody else cannot. Its all about content. Content is king after all! Anil Pandey
