1. Create Your AdSense Account
Before you connect AdSense to Blogger, you need an approved AdSense account.
- Visit: AdSense Signup Page
- Log in with your Google account
- Enter your blog URL and submit your application
- Fill out personal info and address (accurate info is needed for PIN verification)
Tip: Have at least 15 high-quality text-based blog posts before applying for approval.

Once your AdSense account is submitted, link it from the Blogger dashboard:
- Go to your Blogger admin panel
- Click "Earnings" from the left menu
- Click "Connect to AdSense"

Approval may take 1 to 14 days. You will be notified via email once it’s approved.
3. Enable and Insert Ads
