I'm helping a friend get started on hubpages, she doesn't have an account here yet and is just about to open one. My question is, how many hubs should I tell her to write before she applies for Google Adsence? She doesn't already have a blog or anything.
I already had a webpage before I started here, so it wasn't an issue for me to have "enough" writing to keep Google happy.
I want to tell her, write X hubs and then apply for Google Adsence.
Any opinions?
I had 2 hubs when I applied and got Adsense approval within 3 days. However, I had a website that had been up for a month before I joined Hubpages. I'm not sure if that had any bearing on it. I can't remember if I had the Google account for my web site already or not.
I'd also started blogger blog (google) about a month before I started on hubpages and got accepted straight away into the affiliate program.
I recommend you read this page https://www.google.com/support/adsense/ … nswer=9724
From what I understand about Google they look for quality rather then quantity
Opening a Google account first where you will be able to join directly to all the other Google products such as Blogger
As IzzyM Said "I'd also started blogger blog (google) about a month before I started on hubpages and got accepted straight away into the affiliate program."
0I had published only a few hubs when I applied and was accepted. I applied through HubPages, and it went smoothly.
I also had my adsense account before I joined HubPages.
I believe that Google have made it a lot harder to open an account recently so I would suggest that she write some good quality hubs before she applies! Good Luck

I have been denied Google AdSense. May be due to the following reason:"Your site must have been active for at least 6 months before you apply for AdSense."As I have joined only less than three weeks back in hubpages, the above reason may be valid for the denial. But still I found Google...

Hi everyone,I'm a relatively new Hubber - I've published 4 so far. I plan on having 10-12 good hubs up and running before I apply.My question is what, if any, methods of driving traffic to my hubs would be recommended. I don't want to increase my traffic in a way that jeopardizes my...

So my suggestion to hubpages is that maybe you might like to look at alternate like say Ad Brite for the people who like me who are in the same position. I have 140 hubs up and I can see that I am still having the odd advertisement inserted onto my pages for which I will not receive payment; maybe...
