Accepted In Under Two Hours!

For my first Adsense account: I was expecting a "preliminary acceptence from 'Google-bots', followed by 'human approval' and e-mail notice within 1-2 days."

I'm surprised to have received good news in under two hours. Thanks, for the great Google forum here, I'm spending the time to look at the Google FAQ and relevent threads.

I'll do my best to add something worthwhile to the Net, but I still have a lot to learn.

Original publishers add value for advertisers, so I will avoid 'free article' sites.

For my first Adsense account:

You are only allowed to have one Adsense account,
unless you represent multiple businesses and have permission from Google to run more than one account...
