• Eligibility: Your blog must comply with AdSense policies:
  • Be at least 3–6 months old (varies by country; India often requires 6 months).
  • Have original, high-quality content (at least 15–20 posts, 500+ words each).
  • Include essential pages: About, Contact, Privacy Policy, and Terms.
  • Avoid prohibited content (e.g., adult material, hate speech, or copied content).
• User Experience: Ensure your blog is user-friendly, mobile-responsive, and has clear navigation.

  1. Visit the Google AdSense website (adsense.google.com).
  2. Click “Sign Up” and log in with your Google account.
  3. Enter your blog’s URL (e.g., mybeautyblog.in) and select your country.
  4. Fill in your personal details (name, address) accurately for payment purposes.
  5. Agree to AdSense terms and conditions, then submit your application.

How to Check Recent Payments in Google AdSense (2025)

1. Understand AdSense Payment Basics

• Threshold: You need to earn at least $100 (or equivalent in your currency) to receive a payment.
• Payment Schedule: Google pays between the 21st and 26th of each month for the previous month’s earnings (e.g., May earnings are paid in late June).
• Payment Methods: In India, payments are typically via bank transfer (EFT). Ensure your bank details are correct.

2. Check Your Earnings and Payment Status

• Steps:
  1. Log in to your AdSense account (adsense.google.com).
  2. Go to Payments > View Transactions.
  3. Check your current balance:
     • If below $100, you’ll see “Not yet eligible for payment.”
     • If above $100, you’ll see a payment status (e.g., “Payment in progress” or “Issued on May 21, 2025”).
  4. Click on a payment to see details like amount, date, and method (e.g., bank transfer).
• Action: Verify your earnings and payment status for May 2025.

3. Set Up or Verify Payment Method

• Steps:
  1. In AdSense, go to Payments > Add Payment Method.
  2. Select “Add bank account” and enter your bank details (account number, IFSC code for India).
  3. Verify your bank account by entering the test deposit amount Google sends (takes 2–5 days).
• Note: Ensure your address matches your bank details to avoid payment delays.
• Action: Add and verify your bank account if not already done.

4. Troubleshoot Payment Issues

• Common Issues:
  • Payment Hold: If your account isn’t verified (e.g., PIN verification), payments may be on hold. Google sends a PIN to your address after you reach $10 in earnings—enter it in AdSense.
  • Bank Details Error: Double-check your bank account number and IFSC code.
  • Threshold Not Met: If you haven’t reached $100, you won’t see a payment.
• Action: Resolve any holds by verifying your PIN or correcting bank details.

Additional Tips for Beginners in 2025

• Optimize Ad Placement: Use Auto Ads initially, but experiment with manual placements (e.g., within content, sidebar) to increase clicks without disrupting user experience.
• Track Performance: Use AdSense reports (Performance > Reports) to see which pages or ad units earn the most.
• Grow Traffic: Focus on SEO (as discussed in your previous queries) to increase visitors, which boosts ad revenue.
• Stay Compliant: Avoid clicking your own ads or encouraging invalid clicks—Google can ban your account.

Timeline for Earnings

• Month 1–3: Focus on getting AdSense approval and setting up ads.
• Month 3–6: Build traffic (aim for 1,000+ monthly visitors) to start earning.
• Month 6–12: With consistent posting and SEO, you may earn $10–$50/month initially. Once you hit $100, you’ll receive your first payment.
