Hearing Back From Google

Google says it will just take two or three days to receive your acceptance or rejection. Google often responds even more quickly.

Naturally, Google reserves the right to reject sites -- and they do. For example, they will reject sites on drugs, pornography, or gambling. They will also reject personal pages, sites with excessive advertising or other content-targeted or text-based ads, incentives of clicking on the keywords, profanity, or hate of any sort.

We recommend you read all of Google's Program Policies before you apply.

And if you haven't yet checked out our free Google AdSense Web Tool, we recommend you do so now -- before you apply. This tool allows you to peek at which Google AdWords may be displayed on your site. It also provides six suggestions for using the AdSense Web Tool to maximize your AdSense revenue.
