AdSense approval checker
Check whether your site is ready for AdSense, find what is missing, and estimate your first payout date. Part of our creator monetization guides; see also the YouTube monetization checker and our methodology.
Requirements verified against the official pages linked in the report on .
AdSense has no traffic requirement. What Google reviews is whether the site has enough original, valuable content, clear navigation, and follows its policies. Google's publisher policies do not allow ads on screens without publisher content, with low-value content, under construction, or used for alerts or navigation. A common rejection reason is exactly that: low-value content.

What Google checks
Google asks for unique, original content, easy navigation, and no scraped or copyrighted material. You must be at least 18 and be able to access the HTML source of the site. Reviews usually take a few days but can take two to four weeks. An ads.txt file is recommended but not mandatory, and you can also verify ownership through Search Console.
Getting paid
You are paid when outstanding earnings reach the payment threshold, which is $100 for US dollar accounts (other currencies have their own amounts), as long as there are no holds on the account. Payment is issued between the 21st and 26th of the month after the threshold is met. You must verify your identity (the identity verification threshold is $0, so this comes first) and your address with a PIN Google mails to you, which can take two to three weeks to arrive. You then have four months to enter it. Tax information may also be required.
Visitors from Europe
To serve personalized ads to visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google has required a certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB TCF since 16 January 2024.

Frequently asked questions
How many pages do I need for AdSense approval?
Google gives no minimum. It requires enough original, valuable content and clear navigation. Our own rule of thumb is about 20 useful pages, but that is not a Google requirement.
How long does AdSense take to review a site?
Google says reviews usually take a few days, and can take 2-4 weeks.
When does AdSense pay?
When outstanding earnings reach the payment threshold ($100 for US dollar accounts) and there are no holds, payment is issued between the 21st and 26th of the month.
Can this tool analyze my website URL?
Not yet. This check uses your answers. An automatic site scan needs a server-side crawler, which we have not added.
