The beginner’s guide to Google Adsense cannot be complete without mentioning the steps to open an Adsense account. What a lot of people do not understand is that the website has to be up and running before Google will approve of your Adsense account.

Application of a Google Adsense account is not the first step for my beginner’s guide to Google Adsense. Creating the website or installing a blog depending on how you want to place the Adsense is the first step

Once the website is created, make sure that it is search engine optimized (SEO) and that good content is written and uploaded. The content should mention relevant keywords and have the correct “keyword density”. This means that a keyword should appear on 3% of the article

For example, if your content is 100 words then the keyword should be mentioned 3 times. Once the content is ready, you can apply for a Adsense account at http://www.google.com/adsense

Applying for an Adsense account is not immediate. You need to wait for a few days before being approved. One of the things they will ask you for is your website URL. So make sure your website is ready before applying for an Adsense account.
