i have applied for adsense but even after 5 days i didn't get any mail on my id..how much time it will take
can take a few weeks, just depends on how busy they are. Be patient you will get it sooner or later... Good Luck
Mine didn't take that long but google can be slow in processing their requests. They're probably just backed up right now.
As far as I remember, it was around 2 weeks for me. Best to spent that time on building content and traffic.
