hey friends....here's mine.......https://www.nairaland.com/2317228/big-list-backlinks-website

darmys:
i know how to add codes with Gadges only.
can you tell me how to place codes on the blog post.

i am seeing blank pages on my site now.
i am assuming google will place those themselves?

oh....you see only blank spaces right?.....that's because you are a new adsense user...just relax....it will show in the next few hours....i will suggest you concentrate on adding more post.........and increasing traffic......you now have adsense!!! you need traffic now more than ever.

Then i will suggest something on OPTIMIZING your ads......(although i will post an article later)
see, try not to make your ads too obvious......i mean when posting adverts in your blog posts, try to use "text only" adverts...that way it will look like it is part of your post.

Also there is a standard size that works every time in drive more clicks on your ads....i would love to say more .......but i will post an article on nairaland in the next few hours on how you can optimize your ads for higher click through rate.....

cheers!!

hey bro....let's see what you got....i also have some to share ...eventually...

darmys:
To be honest, i was not expecting such a quick approval.. it is my second try in two weeks.
But why does it say i will soon start seeing adds in a particular post and not the whole blog.
Can someone advise me?

Congratulations!


Your Google AdSense application has been approved. You'll soon begin to see relevant Google ads appear on ( instead of my blog address. the link to a particular post appears)

Please note:

Your AdSense account only allows you to monetize the content that you create on AdSense host partner sites.

To track the performance of your new Google ads and access more AdSense features, sign in to your AdSense account.

If you later decide that you'd also like to implement AdSense on a domain that you registered yourself, we ask that you provide us with the URL where you plan to show ads. To submit this one-time review request form, follow the steps described in this help article.




Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team

Well this is a bit tricky......i guess it's because these post have have a high VR that is why...but that's no big deal....you just got the approval...so that is a good thing...now post your ad codes on these particular post they mentioned, while you work on directing traffic to your other post.....you can do this by "internal linking"..... Don't worry just post ads on the high traffic post and work on the others......it's no big deal if you ask me....

charlsecy:
I think a decent traffic is also a factor to consider!

yes youare so right...it's traffic that eventually leads to conversions......

Emmysteve:
thanks so much. Please what is the meaning of CPC, SEO. The $100 is it per month?

hey friend --- CPC stands for COST per CLICK while SEO stands for search engine optimization...
and yes the minimum payout is $100.

imakewealth:
Nice piece Ops. Really nice

www.imakewealth..com

I welcome constructive criticism and advice from you sound minds.

hey friend...i checked out your blog...as you asked...well your content is nice and all...but here is what you need to do URGENTLY....
1. REMOVE THE AMAZON AFFILIATE ADVERT!!!!! yes friend...google will never approve your website if you are already hosting affiliate links...you can do this after you get approval.
2. contact us page....privacy policy page.....and about us page
you seriously need these pages.....it shows google that you are a real person not jus some spam blogger.
3. Try and make sure 80% of your articles are unique....that is they should be written by you and not some article you copied from another website.......(even if you copy and paste...give due credit.)

Emmysteve:
I want to get two things clear here. First how can i apply for adsense, secondly, how much do I stand to earn if my application is granted? Please put me through. Thanks

hey friend, to answer your questions........

First-----how to apply for adsense:
well "HOW" to apply for adsense is quite the easy part.....go to http://www.google.com/adsense/start/ register with your gmail acount as a "publisher" and follow the steps enshrined.....but the main question is what you should before applying for adsense.......

Second----how much can you gain?

The payment thresh hold for google adsense is $100 so yoiu can gain as much as A million bucks if your ads have a CPC .....it all boils down to your persistence, your website's niche, SEO and most importantly; web TRAFFIC!!

LAfricana:

Austin234:
Op, pls advice me my website: www.agrobizventures..com

Hey Austin, i checked your blog and truthfully, you need to work on the layout of your blog. there are many templates you can use to fully optimize your blog. If you can't do it yourself, then i'll suggest you employ the services of a web designer.....

Do not fret......with just a little tweaking and optimizing, your blog will be adsense ready within weeks....!!

Hey guys cut the OP some slack.......he's jus trying to promote his blog......
@OP when you want to make people click on you link, give them the information first...and paste your link...then your readers will click on your link without any hestitation.....
back to the topic.....
When it comes to traffic....i read a post somewhere over the internet, where nairaland's Seun was asked how he drove traffic to Nairaland.com and here's what he said ( an excerpt of his words) : "to draw traffic you should be ready to spend some money to buy traffic.....word of mouth, even if it means asking your friends..their friends...and family members to visit your website" .......When it comes to drawing traffic, everyone has a method that works for them...but these facts reign as king...
--- Social media networking
---fresh and updated content
----targeted keyword strategy(SEO) for organic traffic
---- Backlinking
---- similar blog Comments.
---paid traffic.

Many people today think that getting Adsense approval is very difficult and requires you to have a “great site”, with lots of visitors to achieve. But it’s good to be realistic; they are certain guideline’s or “know-how” rules your website or blog has to pass for you to get Adsense approval.
Now I will give you 4 great tips and tricks to have get Adsense approval fast within 3 days!!!


4 great tips to get Adsense approval Fast!!

1. Design

Let’s start with the structure of your website, webpage or blog. It is important to have a clean and easy to read template/theme.
What I recommend is to have a white background and the letter text black or dark gray. This will go easy on the eyes of your readers.
Have a header with a menu where the pages or categories will show.In the sidebar, it is good to place recent entries, if possible with a thumbnail (small picture to preview), then a widget to search and if you want links to your web site categories.
Use a minimalist theme that loads easily… Remember Google loves speed!! (learn more about website speed:https://www.nairaland.com/2343465/top-4ways-increase-website-speed#34260867)
It is essential to know that been simple always wins. The Google team aren't looking to be wowed by your website’s beauty; they want your content to load quickly and be easily accessible.

Which brings us to the second point…

2. Pages.

I think this is one of the most important parts. You essentially need to create 3 pages:

-Privacy policy:
This is one of the most common mistakes that every Blogger makes and they do this many times before approval. Although there are people out there that say they have a privacy policy for a blog does not make sense, but they are wrong.
A Privacy policy actually describes to your readers about what they’re getting into your blog, what to do and what should not. So obviously, there’s nothing wrong with having a privacy policy. It shows Google that you value your visitors privacy and will tell them(your visitors) how you will do that. You can write or find the Privacy Policy Generated online (do not need a lawyer anyway).

– About page
Most people have agreed that having an “about” page has greater role and is an important step to get your Adsense approval fast.This will not only help establish a relationship with readers, but it will also make them trust you. Also, write your name and address through which you are applying for the Adsense account.

– “contact us” page.
Clearly, everyone has their own opinion. What one of your readers likes can be annoying for someone else. So it is better to give them the opportunity to talk to you and tell you how they feel about your blog, what they want to be released, what they like or hate.
It will also show the Google Adsense team that your site that really cares about its readers and not only about money and Adsense.

3. Use a Top Level Domain

Basically there are two types of Domains: Internet Top-level domains and Sub Domains.

Some Top-level domains are .com, .net, .org, .info, .me, .gov. Top-level country domains are .ng for Nigeria, .us for United States, .uk for United Kingdom, etc. Sub-domains are ..com ,.tumblr.com, ., etc. It is most important thing to use top-level domain because they help you to increase your site traffic and that can also help you to get Google adsense approval. Although you can use your blogger adsense for your sub-domain, it is always best to work with a top-level domain (you don’t need to break a bank!)
Another important thing about domain is the age of your blog. Because for most countries, Adsense has an age limit. No blog’s age below 6 months has ever been approved.(i might be wrong though!)

4. Content

Clearly you need good content to be approved by AdSense, but the question is how many articles do you need to apply for adsense?
There is no exact answer. Because I’ve seen many established blogs with 400+ articles and Google Adsense keeps rejecting them, while some people with 40-50 posts are enjoying the Adsense program making money. As I said there is no real answer. However, we can always predict things. In my experience, it should only apply after you more than 70 unique articles. Please make sure these are are articles you wrote yourself (unique), you can post articles from other website’s whilst giving due credit, but the large chunk of articles should be your intellectual property.



Also dear readers, please remember that your reason for having a blog should not only be because you want to display adverts on your site, but mainly because you want you readers to enjoy the information you are offering them. Be original, be realistic, be friendly and your visitors will love your website for that. And when you eventually decide to host Adsense on your website, these your loyal visistors will like click on some ads on your website.

Blog because your love your readers, not because you want to display Ads.

I can sure assure you that following these 4 points will help you get Adsense approval fast within 3 working days!!!!

Any comments? I would love to hear from you!!

Hello @op people will say many things about adsense approval and all.....but the advice i always give people is........
ENJOY BLOGGING FIRST.....and Adsense can come later. Are you blogging because you want to sell google ads or because you want to increase your blog's online staus and attract loyal visitors?
See let's be realistic...even if you adsense account gets approved and no one visists your website, how will thos conversions come in?
Well the standard time before Google approves a new website for adsense is ---- 6 months.
Number of UNIQUE articles----70
please op note that your website's niche is directly proportional to how much you will eventually earn on adsense.
This might help you more:-- http://www.roviarsguide.com/adsense/4-tips-to-get-adsense-approval-fast
i hope i was able to help.

see @ op...... text ads... generate more clicks than image ads..... image ads are very obvious to your visitors... but wen u conspiciously place text ads between your blogposts..... your generate more RPC.... try and experiment... u could try out text ads for a week... compare you earnings with image ads for another week.... the goal is to NOT show you visitors that you are giving 'em ads to click.. .... also some of these image ads have a very low CPC.... although it boils down to your website niche... .......
have a nice day..... .
i guide people thru optimizing theit website' for better SEO and tips to enhance their website revenue..... i blog @ www.roviarsguide.com....

hello friends... i just tot i should let u guyz know.... please make sure that 80% percent of the blogs you comment on are related to your blog niche.
.. because when the google bots index yoir site to increase your SEO, backlink cooments on other blogs could make or mar your SEO ranking...... what do i mean?

for example if your blog is mainly about health......
make sure the bulk of comments you make in a day should be on HEALTH related blogs..... and a few from none related blogs.. ..... the same applys for other niches......

when commenting, pleaae avoid comments like.......
"nice post"......... "nice tips" etc....... the google algorithm is smarter than ever before.... .. so give meaningful comments and the owner of the blog... will recognize your comments.....

do not send spam comments... or else your comments won't get approved or even published........

you see friends, a good commenting culture can seriously increase you SEO rankings or destroy your online reputation..... . .

i just tot i should give u guys a heads up.... .
have a nice day...

Hello friend.... m not here to outsource for a job... ... i think hardwork should speak for itself... ... see as a webmaster and SEO consultant... i have abfew advices for u

1. TAKE AN EXAMPLE FROM SEUN'S NAIRALAND FORUM
see adsense is NOT the pinacle of owning a website... this is a mistake many bloggers and webmaster takevfor granted..... you said u own a forum right? wht don't you engage your readers more? give them reason to visit... give dem reasons to recommend your forum to their friends.....i really admire the way SEUN runs nairaland..... do u see any adsense ads on NL? have you wondered why NL minimizes the amount of adsbthe display?...... nairaland values her members nd refuses to bombard them with ads.

2. TEASE YOU VISISTORS.
Having a forum to me, is like owning a school.. ... if you want parents to bring their children.. what do you to entice them?. ...... give 'em bonuses..... tell ' em what dey would gain if they register or even visit your site.... send 'em emails... (not,
spam mails!)....... nd i assure you... ... ur traffic will improve within weeks....

3. BE REALISTIC
See SEO is not a magic trick.... it takes of sttistical analysis.... keywords strategies and others... so please be careful when some of my fellow webmaster comrades promise u too good to be true results...... . there's more say and much work to be done.... just keep these few points in mind and select your SEO expert carefully.

i am a co-blogger at www.roviarsguide.com and we' guide bloggers through the many hurdlea enshrined in web optimization and search engine optimization......
read this article an author from our website posted on NL... ... https://www.nairaland.com/2348465/top-5-enemies-search-engine i hope i was able to help.... lerra....

this my friend is very nice inquiry you have made...... see, the FIRST step every intending website owner or blogger should brainstorm on, is picking the right domain name.......
you SHOULD pick a domain name that reflects your niche...... for example www.1st-webdesign.com is all about webdesign tutorials nd everything about coding ish........... www.alltechbuzz. com is all about tech..... . my blog ( co- blogger)...... . www.roviarsguide.com, well it's all about seo and web design... optimization nd internet-marketing GUIDE....... u get the gist?.. ..... ir if ur niche were entertainment..... ur domain name should relate to ur content....... it help a lot in SEO and when u start posting google adsense ads, ur PPC will be higher than normal domain-name websites....... i have been talking too much.... tell us ur niche... . nd we'll suggest SEO friendly domain - names.... (do this fast before someone registers the name u have in mind)..... peace out!!!!!!!

On the Internet, everything goes very fast. We all like to visit websites that load very quickly, especially when accessing from a mobile device. It costs a lot to attract visitors to your site; but then your visitors leave without having to see what you have to offer. A slow website can make you lose many customers and therefore money.

But it’s not just a matter of usability. For Google’s algorithm, speed is everything!!! An important part of SEO work on a project is to optimize the loading speed. To facilitate our work, Google provides us PageSpeed ​Insights a tool that lets us know the speed at which load our website and we implement these solutions to optimize our website.

How to increase the speed of your website.

The first thing you have to do to analyze our website is going to PageSpeed ​​Insights page and enter the URL of our site. Google will analyze and tell us how fast the page is. In this post we’ve done a test with the website– Konga.com




The PageSpeed ​​Insights gives a score between 0 and 100 on the loading speed for both mobile and computer.

Less than or equal to 60 tells us that the page is quite slow and you have to solve at least the most serious problems

If the score is between 60-80 our website is fast, but can be improved.

More than 80 would be a very acceptable speed load.

As shown in the example of the website of Konga.com the test result is 45 and 56 in the mobile version and desktop version respectively. These results are quite low and the website needs to be optimized.

PageSpeed ​​for SEO

Google Page Speed ​​gives the advice needed to optimize our website. Depending on the importance of change we need, Google tells us the elements that “must fix” marked in red and less important items marked in yellow that “should ask yourself correct.” It also talks about the elements that are optimized. At least we have to solve marked in red.

In each of the elements analyzed, PageSpeed ​​shows a link with tips to correct these issues.

Basically PageSpeed ​​analyzes server items that affect the speed of loading and aspects of the page that can slow down our website.

After Studying Google’s Pagespeed extensively, we came up with 4 ways to increase your website speed.

1.Specifying the browser cache:

With the cache we tell the browser not to ask again static files, such as images that have been downloaded, making user navigation is much faster by not having to redo the same requests to the server.

2.Server response time:

Your hosting company’s server loading time can affect the speed of your website.So Google takes this point in high consideration. It would require a study of both the application and the server to improve server response.

2.Image optimization:

It is one of the elements that affect the speed of a web. A website often has many images and if you add the weight of each will see that at the end we are talking about several megabytes. The more we can optimize images without losing quality the higher the increase in our website speed.

3. Java-scripts that block the loading of the page:

Some plugins or scripts that install on our websites use java-scripts are not always good because they are damaged or because they are very slow load block web until they are executed, so these java-scripts make our website load more slowly. We must detect and avoid this script.

4. JavaScript and CSS compress files

The fewer files that are downloaded, the fewer the requests to the server and this will make faster download speeds. The idea is to unify all java-script files into one and another and compress CSS.

In the analysis of the mobile version, google analyses the following factors to measure your website speed:

-Font size
-Button size
-Adapting the content of the graphic display
-using plugins that hinder the use of mobile devices

Now you should understand that Google attaches great importance to speed of of websites, hence the need for you to increase the speed of your website. It’s Clear that the speed of a website, especially on mobile devices is a very important and therefore affects a greater or lesser extent in the SEO.

abdul4me:
I will add a dozen clues to the available list

1. Focus on long-tail keywords – The days of focusing on a single keyword for each page are long gone. Make sure your posts include all the relevant terms and phrases related to your topic.
2. Start a forum on your website – An active forum can quickly begin ranking for long-tail keywords. They’re also great for decreasing your site’s bounce rate, increasing time-on-site, as well as building a community.
3. Start a Facebook group that drives traffic to your site – Start a niche-specific group where members can ask questions and get support (and don’t forget to point them back to your site’s content where relevant).
4. Submit your blog posts to StumbleUpon – It works!
5. Promote your blog posts to your email list – This doesn’t have to be the main focus of all your emails, but including a link or two back to your blog posts can considerably increase traffic, leads, and sales.
6. Work on your headlines – Your headlines are what will get people in the door, particularly when you share your blog posts via social media; make sure they pique interest and clearly articulate the benefit to your readers.
7. Join a blogging community like ProBlogger or CopyBlogger – This is a great way to network with other bloggers, and to cross-promote each other’s content.
8. Include links to other relevant posts on your blog – When you write a post, always be sure to mention other posts your readers may find helpful; this is great for SEO as well as for increasing time-on-site, conversion rates, and referral traffic.
9. Guest post on relevant blogs – There’s not much point guest blogging on a site in an unrelated niche; make sure you only contribute to highly-relevant, high-quality sites in your niche.
10. Become a columnist or contributor on a well-known website – If you can become a guest contributor on an authority site like Huffington Post or Forbes, you not only drive targeted traffic to your site, but establish yourself as an expert in your field.
11. Optimize your existing posts – Comb through your old posts to make sure they have unique and relevant title tags, URLS and meta descriptions.
12. Arrange an advertising swap – Trade banner ads with a complimentary site in your niche.

thanks for your comment... . i'm gonna keep that in mind....
