How to Apply for a fully activated AdSense account to also show ads on my own site

AdMob, YouTube, Blogger, and host partnerships

AdMob publishers only

When you signed up for AdMob, we also created a partially approved AdSense account for you. If you do have your own site that you’d like to show ads on, you can apply to fully activate your AdSense account, by adding “AdSense for content” as described below. Once your AdSense account is fully activated, you can earn money by displaying targeted Google ads on your site.

To show ads on your own site:

1. Sign in to your AdSense account.
2. Visit the My ads tab.
3. Under “Add AdSense for content", click Apply now.
4. Complete the AdSense application form, then click Submit my application.
5. Finally, you need to create your first ad unit and place the ad code on the URL that you provided in your AdSense application, on a page that receives traffic. You can learn more about how to implement ad code on your site in our code implementation guide.

Note that until your AdSense account is fully activated, only blank ads will appear on your pages. Once your account is fully activated, you’ll receive a confirmation email and begin to see live ads. Please don't click on your live ads, even to test them -- doing so isn't permitted by the AdSense program policies.

Once your application is approved, you’re welcome to place your ad code on any site that you own without any further approvals.

How To Sign up for AdSense via YouTube

As your YouTube videos accumulate more views, you may want to apply for an AdSense account to associate with your YouTube account. Successfully linking the two accounts means you’ll be eligible to receive payment.

To sign up for an AdSense account through YouTube, follow the steps below:

1. Make sure your YouTube account is enabled for monetization.


2. Submit your application to create a new AdSense account to link with your YouTube account. Once your application has been approved, you’ll see a "Host account" label on the Home tab of your AdSense account.
   Google will send you a payment the month after your AdSense balance exceeds $100, assuming your YouTube and AdSense accounts are in good standing. Learn more about when you'll get paid.


3. If you also have your own non-host website where you’d like to show ads, then you’ll need to submit a one-time application form to tell us the URL of your site.
   
   You only need to complete this step if you want to monetize your own website -- you don’t need to take any further action to continue to monetize your YouTube videos.
   Once your one-time application is approved, the "Host account" label will be removed from the Home tab of your AdSense account and you’ll have access to generate the AdSense ad code you need to monetize your non-host partner website.

Once your request is approved, you’re welcome to place your ad code on any website that you own without any further approvals. If your application is not approved, be assured that ad serving on your host partner site will not be affected. You can continue to monetize your hosted content as normal.
