Create an AdSense account

Ready to join AdSense? You need these two things to create an AdSense account:

• A Google Account: If you're using Gmail or any other Google service, you already have one. If not, you can create a Google Account when you create your AdSense account.
• Your own content created from scratch: This can be your site, blog or other original content, as long as you're the owner and it complies with the AdSense Program policies.
  Tip: Even if your site isn't ready yet, you can still create an AdSense account. It'll give you the opportunity to explore AdSense while you finalize your content.

How to create your account

1. Visit https://adsense.google.com/start/.
2. Click Get started.
3. Sign in to your Google Account.
4. Enter the URL of the site that you want to show ads on. Learn more about how to enter your URL.

   If you want to add your site later, leave this field empty and select I don't have a site yet.

   Blogger (or other host partner) or YouTube

   • If you're a YouTube content creator, to create an AdSense for YouTube account, sign in to your YouTube account and go to https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC/monetization.
   • If your site is on one of our host partner sites (e.g., Blogger), click Go to… after you enter your URL. We'll be able to set you up faster that way because host partner sites follow a different account creation process.
5. Choose whether you'd like AdSense to send you customized help and performance suggestions.

   We recommend that you choose Yes so we can help you get more out of AdSense. You can change your contact settings later.

6. Select your payment country or territory.
   Note: Make sure you select the country/territory where you currently live and where you can receive a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by mail. This will help you get paid in the future. You won't be able to change your country/territory later in AdSense.
7. Review and accept the AdSense Terms and Conditions.
8. Click Start using AdSense.

   You're now signed in to your new AdSense account.

What to do next

You can now explore your new AdSense account. You might notice that some features are unavailable. That's because there are a few tasks that you need to complete before we can fully activate your account. Learn how to activate your AdSense account.
