    I got through the Boot Camp. My first 5 hubs all featured. Should I apply for Google Ad sense account now or wait till I complete 10 hubs?

      Hi Manasi,

      Congrats on finishing Boot Camp! We recommend waiting until you have at least 15-20 high-quality Featured Hubs before applying to AdSense. Sadly, Google has become more strict recently with AdSense acceptance.

        Ok. Thanks a lot. But do I have to wait for 6 months for the same, as advised by other hubbers in the comments?

          Hi Manasi,

          Yes, if you live in India, you will need to wait 6 months as well. AdSense has different time restrictions depending on what country you are located in.

              Thanks for clarifying, WF! I probably should have worded that explanation a little better.

                I think it would be a good idea to update the info in the Learning Center, too, because it is really sad when people apply to soon and get rejected.

      Manasi, because you are living in India, you will need to publish 20 - 30 Hubs, THEN wait six months, before applying for AdSense.  This is a Google AdSense rule and there is nothing HP can do to change this.  This rule applies to several other countries, as well.  In the meantime, you can earn from Amazon, eBay and other affiliates if you have accounts with them.

    I have 27 featured hubs right now and tried to get accepted to AdSense last week and was rejected. I live in the United States, but had only been a HP member for 2 weeks when I applied.

    How long would people recommend to wait before applying again?

      30 days

      The others told me more, is it got to do something with total page views?

        Definitely, hubs should be getting good views also.

        In India, you may have to wait long for approval.

    Didn't know that google became so strict. Back in 2009 I think when I applied they easily accepted it. And I applied with just created website with no traffic at all.
