how long to process Adsense application?

Appling for Google Adsense.

[wariental]

Website is ten days old, I suscribed for adsense about 9 days ago, it says to allow one week, well its been over. Is this normal?

I just saw googlie bot starting to index my page last night so hopefuly thats a good sign, and iam already indexed on yahoo.

Iam so impatient :p

I got a reply inside 24 hours, 2.5 years ago...

Give it a day or 3 and try again!
You havent got any traffic yet so whats the hurry?

[Andrew Bassett]

That's weird. I subscribed two weeks ago and was accepted in less than 24 hours.

[Crickey]

Took me about a week to two weeks to get accepted myself.
Just give it some more time, you'll get a notice eventually.

[wariental]

Ok thats good. Just making sure :)

- So I can work on placement and tweaks

I applied to AdSense almost exactly the same time as wariental did (9 days ago), and I too have not received a response from Google.

Website is ten days old

- how are you expecting to be profiting from this?

[FrostyMug]

i remember getting a reply within 6 hours or so, it was quick. that was beginning of '05.

NOW, go get into DMOZ - OMG.. 6 months (I'm not kidding, i have 2 topics listed).

[wariental]

miedmark , did you read my second post?

My questions asks How long it takes for adsense to be approved.

I didn't say I expect to profit from the website. I merely want to play around with ad placement and html tweaking to better fit the design of my website.

[miedmark]

wariental - no problem. Just be careful how you play around with this - since traffic might be low and most of your impressions will be your own. Now, concentrate on getting some inbound links, good content and wait.

[wariental]

Gotcha , I have one or two pr2 sites pointing to me already and I sent out about 100 link exchange requests today, to all different websites, so I should have a few more tommorow.

I will continue to work on inbound links and content over the next few months. :)

[terpshoops]

wariental, since we are both in the same situation, would you mind posting on this thread when you get approved? I'll be sure to do the same.

When I signed up a few days ago I had a reply within a few hours. I was pretty surprised.

[wariental]

Well still heard nothing.

Are you allowed to re-apply?

[annej]

When I applied I didn't hear back for a while. I wrote them and found I had been accepted but somehow I didn't get the letter. So write them again.

[brianng]

my brother signed up last week and got in within 30 minutes. beat that lol

[wariental]

ok this is starting to sound worse... where would I write them?

I broke down and decided to contact AdSense support asking them why the approval process is taking so long.

I hope it doesn't take another 2 weeks to get a response.

Update: After contacting Google, they approved my account within 12 hours.

So if anyone else is experiencing long approval time, I would definitely suggest contacting AdSense support.
