Is AdSense is No Longer Accepting Applications from India?

June 8, 2011 by Yogesh Patel 30 Comments

GoogleI have been regular visitors at AdSense Help forums, to understand the changes in AdSense basics, policies, products, features, earning stats and reporting. I regularly see people problem posted in the form of questions in the forum and most of them receives multiple answers from different contributors who are much known to AdSense and some of the them are part of Google AdSense Team.

The problem with Indian users is that they don’t read or subscribe to email updates of Inside AdSense blog. They want to make money with AdSense but one thing I understood is that you should always keep up with the program policy and guidelines which are update anytime.

Coming back to the AdSense help forums which is the only source to all the publishers around the world to discuss their queries, help and issues, people come and post their questions. Many Indian publishers and starts up are struck up with the basic questions on getting started with AdSense. Presented here are the much-researched tutorials on the basics questions much discussed.

Is AdSense No longer accepting publisher’s application from India?

This is not true as the best of our knowledge.

Google AdSense is still accepting applications for the publishers in India. It’s clear that they haven’t shut down it for publishers in India. But AdSense applications from Indians are levied to meet the minimum qualifications in order that your application should be accepted. You might find people who says ‘AdSense is no longer accepting application’, they might be from some other country where the application as a publisher is closed.

Is true that Blogspot blogs are not accepted for Application?

The answer is again, it’s not true.

Any publisher can apply for AdSense using free hosted blogspot blogs. Blogspot blogs are perfectly acceptable to AdSense provided that you meet up your policy requirements.

The last question is:

Indian Publisher should wait for 6 months? Why?

This is quite hard for me to answer this question. It’s not only based on myths but we have kept practical observations through comments and responses to our last blog post Do Indian AdSense Publishers need to wait 6 months for Approval?

We get started with official statement from AdSense help center says, “In some locations, including China and India, we 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” Which clearly states that including India and China there are many countries in which this rule is applicable. India and China were added to the list because there were more cases of fraud clicks and to ensure quality of advertising network with interests to protect advertisers and existing publishers.

But when coming to practical observations, it’s clear that above statement is simply a myth, you can get your AdSense approved within a month, two months, three months and needn’t wait for six months only if you have original content or that high visitors to your blog or any helpful information to the public. However there is no clear confirmation on how much are the minimum required criteria in order to be considered before six months. Six months minimum ownership is set for those who have too little content and visitors. You can check out reason why your Adsense Application was rejected.

    If the blog contains quality content then the publisher need not wait for 6 months to get approved in GA. BTW I was shocked by looking at the title …. 🙂

    Well, I think a simple rule applies, that if you have quality content with good amount of visitors, adsense will approve your account.

      My application was rejected even after 6 months. I don’t know the exact reason. May be because of low traffic or because of an autoblog. But at the same time autoblogs are well accepted in adsense. Can anybody here please tell me what was the reason?

    The 3rd one is really a myth as you said, because i assisted my friend while applying for adsense for his new blog via Blogger platform and it was approved without any problem. His blog was just 15 days old.

    Adsense is still accepting new publishers from India, my buddy got his account approved last Saturday. And, to be honest, his blog was NOT good [in terms of content, design or coding!]

    good view , google accepts applications from Bharat no doubt about it. People complain about adsense cancelleaion and the reason behind this and responsible persona is that person as invalid clicks may be main criterion for this .

    Hi,
    I was using google from 2 years. 3 months ago he disabled my adsense account. Now my revenue has gone. Please tell me how to re initiate my account. What is the reason behind this , I really don’t know. I gave them message about to re initiate my account. But they are saying is, Your account is disabled due to invalid activity. Please give me some suggestion to fix this.
    Thanks in advance.

      No Chance of re initiate as they will disapprove 95% of applications. Apply with another blog for Adsense, get the code for both or all of your blog, that will do it for you.

    Its right, adsense may become strict but may not stop accepting new publishers as market demands it. I recently got my adsense account approved for one of my site with indian account.

    Thanks amit.

    If a Blogger is dedicated to his Content then no problem of Adsense approving.But i think for Indian Bloggers some time period is pivotal.

    Its true to some extent… if your site is months old with decent traffic and some good backlinks… you can get adsense account but for fresh sites, its near to impossible
