How to Get Google AdSense Approval for Your Blogger Site (2025 Step-by-Step)

Description: A practical, step-by-step Blogger guide to prepare your site for Google AdSense approval in 2025 — checklist, common rejections, and how to fix them.

Getting Google AdSense approved for a Blogger (blogspot) site in 2025 is still straightforward — but reviewers now look more closely at site quality, navigation, and originality. This guide gives you a practical, step-by-step checklist to prepare your Blogger site, avoid common rejections, and submit a confident application. Reliable field guides confirm the main requirements: original content, clear navigation, essential pages, and compliance with AdSense policies.

Quick pre-check (must-haves before applying)

  1. Domain & HTTPS — Prefer a custom domain (more trust); ensure HTTPS is enabled. (Blogger supports custom domains + HTTPS).
  2. Essential pages — About, Contact, Privacy Policy (explicitly listing trackers like GA/Ads), and Terms/Disclaimer if relevant.
  3. Content volume & quality — Aim for 15+ well-written, original posts (700–1,500+ words depending on topic) covering your niche. Field experience shows quality matters more than an arbitrary post count.
  4. Mobile & speed — Mobile-friendly layout + acceptable Core Web Vitals (LCP/CLS/INP). Run PageSpeed Insights and fix critical issues.
  5. No policy-violating content — Remove or edit any content touching restricted categories (adult, hateful, piracy, etc.). Read Google policies before submission.

Step-by-step checklist (prepare & submit)

  1. Step 1 — Finalize site structure (1–3 days)

    Make About, Contact, Privacy pages visible in footer or header.
    Remove intrusive popups and disable other ad networks before applying. Reviewers prefer a clean UX.

  2. Step 2 — Content polish (1–2 weeks)

    Ensure each post has: unique title, meta description, featured image, 2–4 internal links, and at least one external authority link.

  3. Add editorial touches: author byline, published date, and a short author bio on About page.

  4. Step 3 — Technical preflight (2–7 days)

    Submit sitemap.xml to Google Search Console and confirm no major indexing errors.
    Check that robots.txt doesn’t block CSS/JS.
    Fix any 4xx/5xx errors in GSC Coverage report.

  5. Step 4 — AdSense application

    In AdSense account, add site URL and follow the verification steps. If provided with a code snippet, paste it to the Blogger template <head> as instructed.
    Wait for initial review (usually days to a couple of weeks). Keep publishing quality content while waiting.

Common rejection reasons & fixes

  • Insufficient content / low quality — Add original, helpful posts; expand shallow articles.
  • Privacy or contact missing — Create visible Privacy Policy and Contact page.
  • Site inaccessible or heavy use of other ads/popups — Remove or limit third-party ads, ensure site loads reliably.
  • Policy violations — Remove prohibited content before re-applying.

After approval: immediate actions

  • Carefully place AdSense ad units (don’t encourage accidental clicks).
  • Monitor performance (GA4 + AdSense reports) and iterate on high-RPM pages.
  • Continue building high-quality content — AdSense revenue grows with better organic traffic and user engagement.

Conclusion

AdSense approval in 2025 is about site quality, clarity, and trust. Follow the checklist, fix issues the reviewers indicate, and keep publishing helpful posts. If denied, address the specific reasons and reapply — many sites get approved after targeted fixes.
