20 Things to Keep in Mind Before Applying for Google Ads

Google has various conditions that are considered as request approving parameters. Whenever you are prepared for asking ads from Google you first have to fill the form Google provides for requesting adsense.

If approved then it will send you the link of the ads account from where you can create different styles of ads like static ads, dynamic ads, video ads, ads banners of different sizes and text ads etc. From that account you can keep a track of all the clicks and views your ads get on your website. Google is a good payer for ads click and hence many websites wants to go for Google ads.
