   I am asking about google adsense, why are we reading about and experiencing so many glitches with adsense while some have it easy. Are Asian countries subjected to different treatment or its just a passing phase. I am told that I have inappropriate  content....what a laugh! I am really curious to know

      I think when you apply for google adsense using HubPages, you need to be here for at least six months writing well written content and original ones. Your hubs seems alright!

            The six month wait policy is an official standard set by Google in some Asian countries and India with the sole aim of weeding out poor quality writers. If you are from one of the affected regions you must have a regualrly updated website/blog for six months for them to asses your writing.

      Some Asian countries do indeed have different (tougher) criteria for admission into Adsense.
      
      Stay around for a few months, keep writing hubs, and re-apply after some time.
      
      For easier entry into Adsense, you need to have your own domain name (I read this somewhere credible - I cannot provide the relevant link right now).
      
      Having a blog on blogger.com, with decent content may also help (As an alternative to own domain name).
      
      A couple of HP users have also informed that incessant pestering of Adsense has also helped them get an account (it took something like 25 odd mails.)

      If HP and all the related companies and automatic programs think ANYthing in your hub or even in your profile means potential trouble--be it too much work or more importantly (to them) a loss of potential income then YES they will readily be biased to put it nicely.

   Go to docstoc dot com and load up a few pdf files into your account. The more decent and detailed good content the better.
   
   Then apply for adsense through docstoc and follow the process.
   
   Bang, there's your shiny new Adsense account.

                     Sofs, it's unfortunate that Adsense has decided to make people in certain countries wait to get their account, but there's not a lot we can do about it.
                     
                     If it's any comfort, most people find their Hubs only make a few dollars in their first six months anyway. If you keep writing Hubs, they will be nice and "mature" by the time you get your account up and running!

   Hubpages cannot control how and when Google approves adsense accounts.
   The method using docstoc does work for many who have issues, others find they can create a few quality blogs on blogger.com and then apply and be approved within hours.
   
   Another avenue which may be presented to you, and I would discourage unless you have no other way, there are sites that sell adsense accounts. The problem with those accounts is this, if google catches that you are using an adsense account in a name that is not yours, they will close the account, and they can and will seize any funds accrued in the account. In other words, say the account is issued to John Doe, and then you change the payment details to an account that pays sofs, at your current address that will set off the alarms at google.
   
   If you can get a google account through honest means, then treat it well, and stay within the TOS.

               here some tips if you already get rejected by Adsense teams it mean no matter what how many time trying to get approval by Adsense team you'll not get a chances it mean they already record your email and your url so that's why from now move you a with double ss  and don be lazy do some research by using Google Adword keyword tools,
               writes some article that contain high paying keywords change your email and your url,  if your still not getting approved maybe you just having bad luck tha'ts all :-)
               
               PS. even if you already have Google Adsense account it doesn't mean you'll gonna be rich, so stop asking and move your ass cause if you still asking !! peoples in here will have no clue to answer your question, ok I will give you a keywords type in Google  "blackhat website"  and go to that forum and type in search box Google Adsense then you'll get real answer and real implementation, but  carefully some times they attacking your browser  and steal your CC no lol :-) enjoy !!

   Just to set the record straight on the discriminatory front here, Google did not always implement this rule , it came about because millions of poorly written hubs from Asian countries sprung up with little value, next to no information, and even less correct spelling and grammar.
   
   Google IS an advertising company, their advertisers obviously don't want to be associated with sites such as this.
   
   This wait period is not a slap on Asians or Indians, but a slap on low quality content which was damaging the people who advertise with Google.
   
   The 6 month rule does suck for those Indian and Asian writers who can write English fluently and still have to wait, however it does mean greater profits all around, since it is more likely that you will see more advertisers spending more money!
   
   The important thing to remember, when you get right down to it, is that it takes about 6 months for a site to truely draw in organic traffic anyway.  Just keep building a high quality site, and then there is more chance you will be accepted, and you will instantly start earning cash!
