How to Sign Up Google Adsense

Friday, August 14, 2009


First though, you have to sign up. Here’s how you do it.
The sign-up page asks for a relatively small amount of information, not all of
which is as obvious as you might like.

First, you’ll have to tell Google whether you want an “individual” account or a
“company” account — whether you’re a company with more than twenty
employees or practically a one-man show that’s just you and up to nineteen
others. That’s important for just one reason: it tells Google where to send
the money. Take a business account and the payments will be made in the
name of your company; take an individual account, and they’ll be paid
directly to you.

You’ll also be able to choose between three different ways of receiving your
money: Electronic Funds Transfer, local currency check or Secured Express
Delivery. In general, it’s better to get your money by direct deposit
using the Electronic Funds Transfer; Google charges for express mail
checks.

(What you won’t be able to choose is whether you’re paid per click—on a
“CPC” basis—or for every thousand times you show an ad—on a “CPM” basis.
Google decides that for you. Some ads will be CPC and others will be CPM.)

The next piece of information that Google demands is your URL. There’s only
room for one URL, which can be confusing if you have more than one site
and want to put AdSense on all of them. Don’t worry about it. It won’t affect
how you use AdSense at all, so just submit your biggest site for now.
The next question is about whether you want content-based ads — the type
of small text ads I’ve been discussing so far, search ads or both. (Contentbased
ads are better but I’ll tell you how to benefit from each so I
recommend that you choose both.)
Once you’re approved, you’ll just have to copy and paste a small piece of
code into your website and you’re done!
