Learn more about AdSense fast tracking

If your blog has high quality content and traffic, you may be qualified for a simplified sign-up process for AdSense.

How it works:

• If you get a message to fast-track your blog on your dashboard, click Earnings > AdSense to sign up for AdSense.
• After you sign up, you can place ads on your blog without having to wait for your application to be reviewed.
• The estimated monthly earnings are a projection of what you could earn. This is based on:
  • Page views
  • Earnings of other established bloggers with AdSense.
  • Other factors

Note: If your blog was fast-tracked, but now needs to be reviewed, it may be because we need to do additional checks, which can typically take 2 to 3 days.
