Google AdSense Revenue Sharing: Process

There are several steps involved in applying for Google AdSense through this site and getting approved. 

Step 1: Apply for Adsense through this site. 

Step 2: Receive email from Google. 

Step 3: Follow instructions in email and provide additional details to Google by completing the application process in Google website. 

Step 4: Wait for approval/dis approval email from Google. 

Step 1: Apply for Adsense through this site.

If you already have an AdSense account with Google, you may associate your account in this site. If you do not have AdSense account already, you may create a new account. Visit our AdSense page and follow the instructions. 

If you are creating a new AdSense account, you must provide a URL during the application process in this site. This URL must be a valid web page owned by you. If you already have a developed website somewhere else, you can use it here. The possibilities of getting approval is very high if you use a well developed site. 

If you do not have a website already, you can use the URL of your profile page in this site. 

Please note that Google must be convinced that the url you submit is owned by you. For example, if you use the URL http://www.IndiaStudyChannel.com as your URL, Google will simply reject it since this site is not owned by you. Instead, you must use the url of your profile page which look like http://www.IndiaStudyChannel.com/member/YourUserId.aspx 

Important 

You must use the same name in your profile and your Google AdSense application. Otherwise, Google may reject your application saying the URL you specified is not owned by you 

Before you apply for Google AdSense, make sure you have provided a very detailed description about you in your profile page. Otherwise, Google may reject your application saying 'your site is not fully developed or there is no valid content'. 

Do not create a new AdSense account as soon as you register with this site. Instead, wait for 2~3 weeks and post some valid resources in this site. Submit your AdSense application only after you establish good credentials with this site. Otherwise, Google may reject your application saying your website is too new. 

Step 2: Receive Email from Google.

After you create an AdSense application through this site, you will receive an instant automated email notification from Google AdSense asking you to provide additional information and do few steps in order to complete your AdSense application. The email will have the following subject: 

Google AdSense Access Verification for www.IndiaStudyChannel.com 

Sometimes, this automated email may go to your junk/spam mail folder. So, if you do not find this email in your inbox within few minutes, please check other mail folders as well. 

The content of the email will look like this: Hello,

We look forward to reviewing your application so you can start displaying relevant Google ads through www.IndiaStudyChannel.com and on your own webpages.

Step 3: Follow instructions in email

You must click on the above URL and you will be taken to the Google AdSense website to fill additional information about your AdSense application. 

After you create a Google account or login to your Google account, you will be taken to a page to provide your Payee name and address information. 

Payee Name: Make sure you use a valid name which is same as the name you use in your bank account. If this name does not match with your bank account name, you may not be able to deposit the cheques you receive from Google. 

You will not be able to change the payee name later. 

If you do not have a bank account, you may use your parent's name here. Remember that the cheque can be deposited only to the account specified in the Payee name field. 

Country: This is very important. You will not be able to change this later. Make sure you select the country where you want the cheque to be received. 

Address: Provide a valid and full address. We have noticed that Google is rejecting applications if the address do not include a door number. 

So if you address do not have a door number, try to put thw words like something like "house" etc in the address (Example: "Anjana Villa House"). Otherwise Google may think that it is an incomplete address and they may reject your application. 

Grant access: You must choose the option Yes, allow www.IndiaStudyChannel.com to access my account . Only if you select this, you will be able to participate in our revenue sharing program. 

After you complete the above steps, you will be redirected to a page which shows the Google AdSense terms & conditions. You must scroll to the bottom of the page and check the checkbox and press "I Accept". Only after you complete this step, your application will be officially submitted to Google for review. 

Final confirmation email from Google

After you complete all steps in Google website, your application will be manually verified by an AdSense specialist. 

This may take several days. Sometimes, it will be as quick as 2-3 days. Sometimes, it may take up to 1 week. So, keep watching your email inbox and bulk mail folder. 

After your application is reviewed, you will receive an email from Google saying your application is approved or not approved. If it says it is approved, you have nothing more to do other than contributing content in this site. We will do everything including using your AdSense code in your content pages in our site. You may receive email notifications from Google asking you to generate AdCode and use it some sites. This is not necessary since we will do all these for you. 

If your AdSense application is not approved, Google will mention the reason as well. You will be given few chances to correct the mistakes and re submit.

The higher the points you received in the page, the higher the chances of using your AdSense account.
