: Is there a perfect time at which to attempt to put google ads on your site I have been waiting for my new online shop to reach above 150 unique visitors per day before I try to apply for

From what I heard from some of my friends that it is kinda hard to get approved by Adsense these days. I think you should concentrate on your content for now and apply when you have as Stephen mentioned 50 pages. I think you should also wait until you get some decent number of visitors. The type of content also plays a big part on getting approved by Adsense. And even after that you dont get approved by Adsense then there are other ways to monetize like Affiliates and paid promotions.

I got my adsense approved with one page with nothing but a search box on it and with zero content, btw that was 10-12 years ago cant exactly remember.

Google AdSense doesn't have minimum traffic requirements to apply. They do however have minimum content requirements. You shouldn't apply until your site has at least 50 pages of content. Your site also needs to meet all their other policies and requirements including:


No prohibited content such as adult, alcohol, or drugs.
No pirated copyrighted material
No counterfeit goods
No traffic from pay to click sources
Content in supported languages
A nice looking site with clear content and navigation areas


A certain amount of traffic is required to actually get paid. Google doesn't issue checks until your account has accrued 0 (USD). A typical site needs about 50,000 visitors to make 0. To make 0 every month you need about 1500 daily visitors.

Those numbers are based on a "page RPM" (revenue per thousand page views). RPM of between and are typical. The actual amount depends on many factors including:


Ad placement on your site (Prominence, colors, and number of ads)
Your sector and niche (Advertisers pay more in some categories than others)
The country and language of your traffic (Advertisers pay more for visitors from richer countries)
The devices your users typically use (mobile traffic is worth far less than desktop traffic)


I personally wouldn't try to put ads on a site until it is at the point where the revenue stream would be meaningful to me. I have several smaller on which I don't use ads. I'd rather have the better user experience of no ads and let the sites grow faster because of it.

You will also have an issue applying with the new site because you applied with an old site. You can only have one application from a Google account. Your first option is to work with the old site and get the application approved for it. At that point you can use AdSense on all your sites. Otherwise you will have to apply from a different Google acount.
