In the past years there are many changes on the account approval process.If the Adsense approval process is easy, why many bloggers are complaining and asking why their application was rejected by the Adsense team. So I have all the answers about that one question in this article: 15 Most important Things To Do Before Applying for Google Adsense.

Google Adsense Account Approval has 4 Steps before you can be considered that you really have an Adsense Account. You can only withdraw your earnings from Adsense if you passed to all these 4 steps, which takes from 1 month to 1 year. The waiting time really depends on your blog traffic, more traffic less waiting time. Later I will explain these to you more clearly just keep on reading.

The 5 Steps of Adsense Account Approval Process
These steps are for those who has already applied for an Adsense account. if you don't have already a Google Adsense Account, you must read first my article on How to Sign Up for Adsense Using blogger.

Step 1: After you apply for Adsense Account you will wait for 24 hours. In this period your Adsense account is waiting for the first approval. You don't have access to the Adsense dashboard yet, you are not also allowed to show ads on your blog from the blogger settings.

If this approval process is complete you can now add an advertisement to your blog. You have now an access to your Adsense Account which you can generate an Advertisement Codes to show a blank ad. Yes you read it correctly the first time you add an Adsense Advertisement it will be a blank white space. This will help the Adsense team to determine if your blog has a visitors and if you are eligible for their program.

Step 2: After passing the first approval process the next step is to wait for almost 1 week to 2 weeks. In my case, I received the confirmation email next day after the first step. Once you receive that email with a big CONGRATULATIONS! you will begin to see relevant Google Ads on your blog or website.

Step 3: Now you will wait 2 weeks to 6 months or maybe 1 year to reach the $10 earnings. After your account reaches the $10 Adsense team will automatically send you the 6 digits PIN number that you need in order to verify your Adsense account.

In this step, you need to drive much LEGAL traffic as you can to your blog in order to reach the $10 as early as possible. My advice is never to participate in a traffic exchange, auto-web-surf and paid-to-lick service to avoid an account ban. 

Step 4: Now we assumed that you already reach the $10 and Adsense already send the Pin number to your home Address. For the sake of Pin number you should use your real identity and real address or else the Pin number will be lost. In my case I receive the PIN number within 1 month, I reached the $10 on November 7, 2015, and I received the PIN number on December 7, 2015. 

I didn't really received the PIN number because we transfer to another house. So I ask my mother to go to the nearest POSTAL office and ask for a mail coming from Google Adsense and guess what? the PIN is there, I was very happy after I saw my PIN number Lol!

Reminder: Please wait the PIN number for 2 weeks to 1 month after that if you don't receive any PIN number from Google Adsense try to go to the POSTAL office that is assigned to deliver a mail to your location. Ask them about the mail coming from Google that is address to your house, please bring a valid ID

If your PIN is not there please wait again for 1 month, 2 months, 3, months, 4 months, 5 months or even 6 months and go again to your POSTAL office and ask for mail from Google. The arrival of PIN really depends on your location if you live in the province on your country expect to wait for 3 to 6 months before. One of my friend live in Bohol received his PIN number after 3 months of waiting. 

Step 5: Now you have the 6 digits PIN number from Adsense. This is the final step to have a fully working Adsense account. You need to enter the PIN number in your Adsense you have only 3 attempts so type it correctly. 

You can verify your account by clicking the ACTION after that enter your PIN number in the box, look at the image below as your guide.

You only have 6 months to enter the 6 digits PIN number after you reach the $10. If you failed to enter the PIN number within 6 months your AdSense account will be canceled and all your earning will be sent to the advertiser.
