Newbie with some Adsense questions.

Need some advice on getting started.

[TXdubber]

I just started looking at Adsense and was planning on general information type websites, such as Credit Repair or Where to Buy Widgets, etc. Would this be acceptable for Adsense? I also saw a site selling adsense ready, content rich websites (actually templates) at about 50cents per site. Just wondering if this would be a good way to start since I'm interested in setting up several sites. Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first post. Thanks

Hi and welcome to WebmasterWorld Forums!

Yes, the area you are thinking of looking into is in approval with Adsense's guidelines. However, stay away from those content ready websites as those sites tend to break the duplicate content rule and you would find that there are probably thousands of other sites that will be identical to yours.

The key to building a good site is basically good content and a little bit of SEO. With good content, the traffic will come and that is where your adsense will start to reap some profits. Thus, my advice to you would be to do your research carefully, write good articles with seo in mind and do a bit of link exchanges to get your articles out for the world to see.

adsense ready, content rich websites

Surely, by definition, these must violate the AdSense Policy "No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant"

Produce your own material - good, unique content will serve you better in the long term.

Your suggests would appear to be acceptable for Adsense, most topics that avoid pornography, pharmaceuticals, violence, gambling, politics and religion should not be a problem.
