Google AdSense is one of the most popular ways for bloggers, website owners, and YouTubers to monetize their content and earn revenue through online advertising. If you are a content creator or run a website, getting an AdSense account can be your first step toward building a passive income stream.
In this article, we explain how to create a Google AdSense account step by step and how to link it either to your website or YouTube channel.
✅ Step 1: Check Eligibility Requirements
Before you apply, make sure you meet these requirements:
- You must be at least 18 years old.

- You need either:
- A website/blog with original content, or
- A YouTube channel with regular, policy-compliant videos.

✅ Step 3: Fill in Account Details
Once your account is created, you will be redirected to the AdSense dashboard. Fill in the following details carefully:
- Name (must match your PAN card).
- Full Address (Google will send a PIN for verification).
- Bank Details (for receiving payments).
✅ Step 4: Verify Ownership
Depending on whether you are applying with a website or YouTube:
🔹 For Websites:
- Google provides an HTML code snippet.
- Copy this code and paste it inside your site’s
<head>
section. - If you are using WordPress, you can insert the code via a plugin like Insert Headers and Footers.
- Once added, return to AdSense and click on Verify.
🔹 For YouTube:
- Go to YouTube Studio → Monetization.
- Follow the on-screen steps to connect your channel to AdSense.
- YouTube will automatically send your details to Google for review.
✅ Step 5: Google Review Process
- Google will review your website or YouTube channel.
- This process usually takes between 2 days to 2 weeks.
- If your site/channel follows Google policies, your account will be approved.
✅ Step 6: PIN and Payment Verification
- After approval, Google will mail a PIN code to your postal address.
- Enter this PIN in your AdSense account to verify your address.
- Add your bank details for receiving payments.
- Once your earnings reach $100 (approx. ₹8,000), Google will transfer the money directly to your account.
🎯 Pro Tips for Faster Approval
- Publish at least 15–20 original blog posts (for websites).
- Ensure your site has About Us, Contact Us, and Privacy Policy pages.
- Avoid copyrighted, adult, or duplicate content.
