AdSense Success Checklist: Website Structure & Preparation

1. Website Structure and Appearance (Template)

ChecklistKey Description and Tips
User-Friendly DesignUse a template/theme that's simple, clean, and fast-loading . The layout should make it easy for visitors to find the main content. (Sources 1.2, 1.6, 3.2)
Responsif (Mobile-Friendly)It must be functional and display well on all devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone ). The design must be responsive so AdSense can optimize ads. (Source 1.5)
Fast Loading SpeedOptimize your site speed. Google favors fast-loading sites for better UX. (Sources 1.6, 3.6)
Clear LayoutMake sure the main elements (text, images) are arranged correctly and attract attention. Whenever possible, use a hierarchical layout (category > subcategory > article) for an easy-to-understand structure. (Sources 1.2, 1.5)
Performa LinkMake sure all links work and none lead to error pages (404). (Source 1.4)
Quality ContentWhile the focus is on structure, remember that original, unique, and useful content is the key factor. (Sources 1.1, 1.4, 1.6, 2.3)

2. Important Pages That Must Be There

Google AdSense requires certain pages to demonstrate the professionalism and transparency of your site. Make sure these pages are easily accessible (usually located in the footer or header navigation ). (Sources 1.1, 1.4, 2.1)

Required PagesKey Objectives and Contents
1. About UsContains information about the blog's purpose , the topics covered, and a brief profile of the owner or team. This builds trust. (Sources 1.1, 1.4, 2.1)

4. DisclaimerProvide an explanation of the limits of your responsibilities as a site owner. This is important if you are providing general advice or information. (Sources 1.1, 1.4, 2.1)
5. Sitemap / Table of ContentsHelps Googlebot (and visitors) understand the structure of all the pages on your site. (Sources 2.1, 3.2)

3. Clear and Easy-to-Use Navigation

Navigation is key to a good user experience , which Google values. Poor navigation can be a reason for rejection. (Sources 1.2, 1.4, 2.7)

Navigation ChecklistBest Implementation
Clear and ConsistentThe main menu should be easy to understand with clear labels ( Examples: "Blog," "Categories," "Contact Us"). Use consistent labels throughout the site. (Sources 1.2, 1.3, 1.5)
FunctionalityMake sure all dropdown menus are working properly . Test on multiple devices. (Source 1.2)
Main Menu PlacementThe primary navigation menu is usually at the top ( header ). Consider a "sticky" menu to keep it visible as visitors scroll . (Sources 1.3, 1.5)
Internal LinksAll links in the main navigation menu should point to pages within your own site ( Internal Links ). (Source 3.2)
Breadcrumbs (Optional, Recommended)Add breadcrumbs (Example: Home > Category > Article Title) to help users understand where they are within the site. (Source 1.5)
Mobile ResponsiveOn mobile devices, make sure the menu icon is easy to find (e.g., the hamburger icon ), and that the menu that appears displays the primary links first. (Source 1.3, 1.5)

Summary: The essence of AdSense acceptance is providing an excellent user experience (UX) . A clean structure, transparent pages, and easy navigation are fundamental elements in achieving this goal.
