So, you’ve got a blog and you’re thinking:
“Can I start making money with Google AdSense?”
“Is my blog ready for approval?”
Let’s talk about the real requirements, not the myths. Especially:
Do you really need a lot of traffic to get accepted into AdSense?
And what should your blog have before you apply?
📊 Do You Need a Lot of Traffic First?
No, you don’t need thousands of daily visitors.
Google doesn’t require a minimum traffic number. But of course: More visitors = More potential revenue.
So, how much is enough to start?
You can try applying if:
- Your blog gets 30–100 unique visitors per day
- You’re getting organic traffic from Google, not just social media
- You’re consistently publishing original, useful content
Google cares more about quality content and user experience than just traffic numbers.
✅ What to Prepare Before Applying for AdSense
Here’s a solid checklist to help make sure your blog is ready:
1. Original and Valuable Content
- At least 15–30 well-written blog posts
- Each post ideally 500–1000 words or more
- No copy-paste. No AI-generated spam. Add your voice!
2. Clear and Consistent Topic
- Don’t mix totally unrelated topics in one blog.
- Stick to a niche (e.g., tech, travel, cooking, education).
- Avoid topics that violate AdSense policy: adult content, violence, copyright violations, etc.
3. Essential Pages
Create these pages to show your blog is legit:
- About Page
- Contact Page
- Privacy Policy
- (Optional) Disclaimer or Terms of Service
4. Clean Navigation & Mobile-Friendly Design
- Use a responsive theme that loads fast.
- Make sure visitors can easily browse your site.
5. Top-Level Domain (TLD) Recommended
- You can apply with a blogspot.com address, but using a custom domain (like
.com,.net,.id) increases your chances and trust.
6. No Errors or Broken Links
- No empty pages, 404s, or unfinished posts.
- Check for broken images and links.
7. Organic and Consistent Traffic
- Google loves blogs that grow naturally through search engines.
- Don’t buy fake traffic. That can get your account banned.
8. Language Support
- Make sure your content is written in a language supported by AdSense (English and Indonesian are both supported).
⏱️ When’s the Best Time to Apply?
Apply when:
- Your blog is at least 1–3 months old
- You’re posting consistently (2–3 times a week is great)
- You’re getting some organic traffic and engagement
If you get rejected, don’t worry—just improve and reapply later.
🧠 Extra Tips from Markeso:
- Set up Google Search Console to make sure your site is indexed.
- Use Google Analytics to track your traffic.
- Don’t install annoying pop-ups or other ad services before being approved by AdSense.
💬 Final Thoughts
You don’t need to wait for thousands of visitors before applying to AdSense.
But you do need to make sure your blog is ready: good content, a clear structure, and a decent user experience.
Focus on value first, traffic will follow.
If you’re serious and consistent, monetizing with AdSense isn’t just a dream—it’s a reachable goal.
