Now the big question is, will it actually be approved? Google is notoriously picky, and it is easy to be "Google slapped" .. meaning Google does not like the way you blog, look, or smell and denies you putting up ads... as in forever.
No time to wait around! There is all kinds of money waiting to be made, and I better do some research now and have a Google ad alternative if my account is denied. As of this moment, I see the following message:
So I shouldn't just take it for granted that everything will work out. No matter what I ultimately use, I'll post the result today! More promotion ideas and a new revenue source coming up soon. It has almost been 24 hours so far, and no money made yet, so time to get cracking.
UPDATE: DENIED! AdSense has "disapproved" the account. No reason was given -- like I said, if Google doesn't like your smell, you are banned for life. I will march on -- I'll find a new favorite ad source and update very soon with the results and how I did it.
Secondary Update: Approved? Apparently I did something stupid and did not link to an existing AdSense account. I've linked accounts, and now it says that ads are set to "display" in the earnings section of Blogger. I'm kind of stuck in this weird no man's land where ads are not appearing yet in the blog, but hopefully they will for users not coming from my IP. I do see an earnings dashboard, so I'll hang tight and see what happens. Pageviews keep going up and up, so hopefully over the course of the weekend I can at least earn my first penny. For now, I'll hold tight and focus on working on fixing errors with this blog, and then SEO for the second half -- I'll setup new posts about the SEO process as it happens shortly.
Final Update: Was ultimately approved, AdSense online. At least I'll make a bit of coin for sure once I start the pageviews going.
