PRO TIPS FROM CAREERPLATFORM2DAY
Although the following tips aren’t written in stone, we believe that they will improve your chances of getting accepted by AdSense.
- Your website should be at least 3 months old.
- You should have at least 30 articles published that are unique and valuable to readers.
- There is no minimum traffic amount that you should have, however the more, the better.
HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK
There is a minimum threshold of $100 that you need to earn in ad revenue before you can get paid. Also, keep in mind that Google follows a net 30 payment term. As an example, when you earn ad revenue during September, your revenue will be sent out to you in the first week of November – 30 days after the billable month is over.
