AdSense application checklist.

A practical pre-application checklist covering content, ownership, navigation, privacy, consent, technical access and AdSense connection.

Before connecting the site

The domain is live, public and owned or controlled by the publisher. The homepage and important content pages return HTTP 200. Navigation works on mobile and desktop without misleading links. Indexable pages contain original, useful publisher content. Placeholder, under-construction, empty and duplicate pages are removed.

Publisher identity and disclosures

About and Contact pages identify the publisher. Privacy Policy explains cookies, Google advertising products and third-party vendors. Terms, Editorial Policy and Advertising Disclosure are accurate and visibly linked. Authors, reviewers, dates and sources are shown where appropriate.

Google and technical setup

The AdSense connection code uses one correct publisher ID. robots.txt does not block the entire site. The XML sitemap contains only canonical production URLs. No accidental noindex or X-Robots-Tag blocks exist. Consent/CMP requirements are configured for applicable visitors. ads.txt is published when Google supplies the seller record.
