To make your site available for site-related actions, such as showing ads on a new site or setting up site-level blocking rules, you first need to add the site to your sites list.
Checking your site is ready to show ads
When you add a new site, we run some checks to make sure it's ready to show ads. We verify you're the site owner and that your site complies with the AdSense Program policies. This usually takes a few days, but in some cases can take 2-4 weeks. We'll let you know when we've completed the checks and your site is ready to show ads.
