The easiest way to apply for an Adsense account
Two Methods
I gather that you're here because you know what Adsense is, but as yet you don't have an Adsense account.
Maybe you haven't tried applying one yet, or you were rejected the first time, or maybe you've tried a few times and so far it's been without luck.
Here I will tell you different two ways for you to apply to get an Adsense account.
Method 1 requires patience.
Method 2 is surprising a lot quicker.
Method 1
You register a blogspot account at blogger.com
Blogger.com is owned by Google, for whatever that's worth. Blogger.com is where you register the account, Blogspot.com is where it is hosted.
I suggest that you choose a good name, something that is a strong keyword for the topic that you're going to blog about. Choose a topic that you're familiar with, and that interests you.
Now make a post every couple of days. Make them informative. Bonus points if the content is original. Do this for about 8 blog entries, then apply for an Adsense account. Make sure you post a couple more entries while you're awaiting approval (this could take anywhere from 1 to 4 days, speaking from personal experience and what I've seen of others).
Once you have your approval, you can add the Adsense code to your blogspot blog as well as your other sites (it's at your discretion, but make sure your other sites fall within what is acceptable in the Adsense ToS.
Don't abandon your Blogspot account too soon. Maybe blog in it once a week. If the content is original then you could start getting some good Search Engine rankings for your pages. And it could get you a little traffic. Which you can then send to your other sites.
ATTENTION!
Google have changed the rules! They now want people to have a track record of being a good publisher. Probably long overdue. But if you try and get rejected, you'll likely get an email saying that you're better off having 6 months behind you. And my suggestion: make sure your hubs (or articles, depending where you're publishing) are top notch!
Method 2
You don't need a website. You don't even need content. Yet.
If you haven't created an Adsense account before, and apply through HubPages, then Google will approve your account before you even need to write or publish any content.
That's right, no need to create content before applying to Google Adsense when you're applying through HubPages.
Read the Hubpages FAQ here.
Sign up for Hubpages here.
What Next?
After you've registered a Hubpages Author account (and followed the updated instructions above and to the left) go to Affiliate Settings (it's in your My Account page, under Affiliate Settings).
On the "Affiliate Settings" page you'll see next to where it says "Adsense" a link to "Sign Up".
It will then ask "Do you already have a Google AdSense account?". If you say yes, it'll ask for your Publisher ID and then in a few simple steps you will have linked and activated your Adsense Publisher ID to your Hubpage account. However you're here to start an account, so select No,
Tick the box for "I have read and understand Google's terms of service"
And click the button "Signup for AdSense" and away you go!
What Now?
After registering for your Hubpages account and your Adsense Publisher ID I recommend you read these articles: Adsense Beginners Guide and Click Fraud.
Aside from the Google's AdSense Program Policies and the Terms and Conditions they're probably two of the most informative articles you need to read and understand before you embark on your Adsense Adventure.
