We review your entire site to check it complies with the AdSense Program policies. When we're done, we send you an email with details on your activation status. This usually takes a few days, but in some cases can take up to 2 weeks. Learn more about the waiting time for a fully activated AdSense account.

If we can't activate your AdSense account

In some situations, we can't activate your AdSense account. Depending on the reason, you might be able to resume the activation process. See below for more information.

Your AdSense account can't be activated because your site doesn't follow the AdSense program policies

While reviewing your account, we notice that your site doesn't follow the Program policies. If you’re able to fix the issues on your site then you may resume the activation process. Alternatively, you can choose to use a different site for AdSense and resume the activation process with that site instead.

Your AdSense account can't be activated because you have two AdSense accounts

While reviewing your account, we notice that you have another AdSense account. In this case, you need to close your other account before resuming the activation process.
