Applying for Google AdSense Account
Applying for a Google AdSense account is a simple process. To begin, you complete a form providing payment information for earned revenues and the URL to your website. You must agree to specific terms and conditions related to not displaying pornographic content or encouraging fraudulent ad clicks. Once you've submitted this information, Google reviews the site to assure that it meets program guidelines, and approves or denies the account.
AdSense Policies
To use Google AdSense, you must comply with policies on quality and content standards. Google prohibits the use of their advertising on sites that advocate racial intolerance, promote the sale of alcohol, tobacco or prescription drugs, and sites containing adult content. Additional regulations regard content on sites that webmasters should review before applying for an account.
Quality Guidelines
Google makes recommendations for Webmasters to improve their rank and performance on sites using AdSense. These guidelines include recommendations on design attributes, including site maps, 'ALT' text in image attributes and the number of links limited on a page. Technical recommendations include checking for accessibility standards, allow search bots from website indexing applications, and using the robots.txt file to control what bots index. Finally, they have specific quality guidelines that recommend against using automatic queries to register your your site, using hidden text or hidden links,
Formatting Advertisements
To make AdSense most effective on your site, you can customize the size and style of your advertisements. While specific colors cannot be customized, you can select the height and width of ads, and choose to display text only or graphical advertisements. Actual ad content is based on site keywords when possible to display relevant advertisements to your users.
Other AdSense Categories
In addition to the standard Website advertisements, participants in the Google AdSense program can also choose to use advertisements in other formats. Additional products include ads for mobile devices, video, RSS and Atom feeds, and domains.

How to Make Money on the Internet: no Fees
1.
Write online content for revenue sharing sites. Simply sign up and create a profile to begin submitting articles to article directories and virtual libraries of information. Some sites do require an application process, but others allow all comers. Sites to try include eHow, BrightHub, Suite 101, Hub Pages, Xomba, Associated Content and HowtoDoThings.com. For most, your earnings will start off small and grow into a nice residual income stream.
2. Create a blog around a specific niche in which you have a good deal of interest, knowledge and experience. Create helpful posts each day and build up your reader base by commenting on popular blogs and participating in social bookmarking communities online. Earn money through your blog by adding Adsense, affiliate links and gaining sponsored advertisements.
3.
Write online content for up-front payments. Check out Demand Studios, Writers Research Group, QualityGal and BrightHub. Having a specific area of expertise as well as writing experience will be important to your being hired as a writer.
4. Use Guru.com, eLance, and Rent A Coder to bid for projects in writing, editing, programming and graphic design sectors. After a free trial, you may need to pay to upgrade your subscription, but for many freelance writers, this is a small price to pay for a steady stream of online job leads.
5.
Use your photography and cinematography talents to make money on the internet with no fees. Stock photo sites pay you per download of your photo, and video content is in demand as well. Demand Studios, for example, pays videographers to produce quality video content for their sites.
Can I Link More Than One YouTube Account to AdSense?
Requirements
Although being able to participate in YouTube's partner program is never guaranteed, there are a few basic requirements for entry into the program. Specifically, videos on your channel must consist of original, high-quality and non-copyrighted content. If you repost content someone else has created -- particularly if the content is duplicated from someone else's channel -- the prospect of your channel being eligible is dim.
Selection By YouTube
When YouTube determines that your channel meets the minimum eligibility requirements for its partner program, it sends you an email inviting you to participate in the program. When you receive the email, click the link within it to be taken to a YouTube page that explains the terms and conditions of the partner program. After you agree to the terms and conditions, you can monetize individual videos, which places ads on them and enables you begin earning revenue from them.
Application
If YouTube hasn't yet invited you to participate in it partner program but you believe your channel and its videos meet YouTube's eligibility requirements, you may apply to become a member of the program. To access the application, log in to your YouTube account and click the 'Creators and Partners' link at the bottom of the screen.
Linking to AdSense
Once you have agreed to the terms of service for YouTube's partner program, YouTube asks you to which AdSense account you would like to transmit your ad share earnings. By default, YouTube selects the AdSense account associated with the Google account you use to manage your YouTube channel, but you may choose any Google account you wish and use one AdSense account for multiple YouTube channels.
