Next, it's time for you to create your first ad unit and place the ad code on the URL that you provided in your application. Make sure to place your ad code on a webpage that receives traffic. You'll only see blank ad units on your site until you've passed the review and we fully activate your AdSense account. You'll also see a red bar across the top of your account saying that you're still under review. |

Once our systems detect that you've placed the ad code on a live page on your sign-up URL, we automatically continue the review process and check that your site complies with our policies. When we've completed the review, we send you an email letting you know the status of your application. This process typically takes 1-2 days. For more information, see Application review waiting time. If your application is not approved at this stage, you'll receive an email explaining the disapproval reason and the possible next steps that you can take. |
