Do high paying keyword sites need Google's prior approval?

My new site isn't showing any ads, others updated in minutes

I just created a new web site that is geared towards a high-paying keyword niche. Well, extremely high.

I was wondering if Google won't automatically display ads for it, as they have done on my other sites that generally do display ads within minutes of being updated. That would make sense to me, to keep their high paying advertisers from being abused. Still, I could find nothing about it in ToS, and my website still hasn't updated. (The preview tool shows nothing either).

And yes, it's extremely keyword rich, optimized, completely within the guidelines and the code is correct.

Why did you create the site?

If the reason was mainly to show more high paying adsense advertisements, they may be reviewing the site to see if it fits the "do not create sites solely for the purpose of showing adsense" rule.

I wonder if they have some kind of "theme" filter.

Like if a webmaster has mainly "webmaster resource" sites, and then all of a sudden they have a "mesotheliomia information" site, it sets off some sort of red flag.

From the presence of ads on absolute crap "made for adsense" sites to dmoz (sites which make the previously discussed "made for AdSense" sites look good by comparison), I can assure you that Google isn't pre-screening before displaying ads for high-paying keywords.

I had the same experience when I created a page that should have had very high paying ads. Just PSAs.

But finally, after a full three monhts passed, the page started showing ads.

I definitely think there is some kind of filter for the super-high paying ads.

I have a page that is consistently showing PSAs. It's not a high-paying keyword, and I don't think the subject is that controversial, (regarding food/diet). So I don't get it. It's just one page so I could take the ad off, but I might as well leave it on and see if it eventually produces ads.

I have heard that some of the better-known top paying keywords have some sort of block so that ads will not appear until manually reviewed, but I don't have personal experience on this.

Whatever you may have heard, this very day I've seen ads for the infamous "M" word on a site that would never pass a manual inspection.

i would like to know those high paying areas?

Actually i have done lot of research in high paying areas and i found things like mortgage, home finance, and real estate.

now i can tell you that my site got ads for those keywords, but they were not high paying at all.

can anyone give a broad idea on what is high paying area. please don't tell me about email spam things or the general answers, i would appreciate specific answers.

I won't be making site for adsense alone, but i will have to work a lot on the new subject, so aim is to create a good site with high quality articles, but it would be better to work in high paying area.

Ok dhaliwal,

Normally I wouldn't tell someone else what keywords pay my mortgage, but you seem like a nice guy. If I tell you where the $10 keywords are, do you promise not to compete?

Yeah, that was the word that wasn't showing up for three months.

But finally the page displays ads. Now that no one is visiting there any longer.

Hopefully one day someone will click, and I'll be able to buy a lobster dinner.

JuniorOptimizer, I'm afraid my Indian friends don't see or understand the sarcasm in your post.

he he ... You asked for those stickies, my friend ;)

You could get very "sticky". Save yourself a lot of grief and just post those keywords in this thread :)

"Whats the infamous "M" word?"
The M word is mesothelioma.

No mesothelioma site would ever be approved by anyone looking to screen out made-for-adsense sites. Have you ever looked at them?

None of the top 10 results for "mesothelioma" at Google are sites showing AdSense (except for #10 which is not related to mesothelioma, but to medical malpractice jobs--go figure).

I guess that's a good sign.

You know, the fact that as Jonathan discovered that none of the top ten results for {widgets} showed adsense, prompted me to take a look at a couple of other highly coveted words, and to my surprise neither of their top ten showed adsense either.

These two words are related to a particular topic that is related to my site, but not so much as to actually warrant my inclusion in the top ten. In fact, if my site would ever showed up in the top ten results for them, I would question Google’s ability to determine “best results”. Of course, that would be after I did a little dance of joy at being able to buy that German car I want.

This leads me to believe that sites that achieve top ten rankings in those “expensive keywords” either through sheer size or brute, unrelenting SEO have better ways to monetize those landing pages than adsense {regular or premium}.

I did see a lot of affiliate links there and sites selling their own widgets.

Well, to be honest if you're in the top 10 for mesothelioma, you shouldn't be putting adsense ads up. In fact, you'd be an idiot to do so. Instead you should be contacting lawyers directly and offering to refer them cases for a $10,000 a pop (or 1/3 of the attorney's fee if you yourself are an attorney).
