Seems you got some good information there.

Make sure that you have an advertising/affiliate disclaimer in place and that each post has a link provided to it. Without it, the ads will not show up.

Hey Jean,

Personally, I think Philip's video says it best: How Long Does It Take To Rank & Make Money!? Hope you find this helpful.

It can take a few days to several weeks.

Hi - the first piece of code you are sent is simply so Google can inspect your site to see if it is suitable. It can take up to 3 weeks for them to respond. If you have been accepted, you will receive a "congratulations" email.

Takes quite some time if your site hasn’t gotten a lot of traffic yet.

It took three days for me to get feedback that my site was not ready for their adverts.

That's strange. I haven't used AdSense for years, but it was usually pretty quick. Just took a little while to work out what the site was about and serve the most appropriate ads.

If you're not seeing anything, are you sure you copied and pasted the AdSense code correctly?

Great question and I learned from the answers below :)

Hey Jean,

Bottom line is if you're not indexed, you will never rank because you're not found by the Googlebots.

Any hopes to rank on page 1 is not possible.

FYI, ranking is an extension of indexing.
By using keywords/keyword phrases that are low hanging fruits your chances for ranking becomes better.

You didn't ask about keywords. But, I decided to do so because keywords play and important role for being indexed and ranked.

Make it a lovely day.

It means your article is now visible on Google. 😉

People get to see the content you created.

You want your content to be indexed. It means that the Googlebot has found your information and decided that it follows the rules of conduct and will allow it to be available for search by keywords. It doesn't mean it will rank... That part depends on the keywords you chose & if people are searching for them. Hope that helps!

Simply put, in my opinion, if your articles being indexed, they will have a chance to be ranked and your audiences will find them.

Otherwise, your articles will never be searched by your audiences.

When your content is indexed, it means that it has been added to the Google (search engine) database. As a result, your content will be displayed in the search results when somebody performs a search for your keyword(s) ...

It will help internet searchers find your website if you rank high on your chosen keyword.

Being indexed simply means that Google is aware of your site.

Googlebot has crawled it and was happy to put it in the Google database.

The next step is to get ranked for your chosen keyword.
