WA Affiliate Program
Updated

I just need to know how to register to become a WA affiliate. Thanks

You registered as soon as you joined.

If you click on the Dollar Icon at the top of the page (slightly to the right)
Then you click on Links & Tracking and on the next page your links will be at the top of the page.

You can also create custom links.

Great. Thanks!

John

Happy to help when I can John

In order to verify ownership of my site Google wants me to add a TXT snippet to my DNS configuration. I can't see how to access that. Can you show me?

I could send you instructions via a Private Message if you want.

Maybe that would be best. I didn't have any difficulty getting the code. I can't find the DNS configuration in my WordPress editor

Thanks, by the way. I see I forgot that.

Instead of the full code you can just enter this part

google48543a3cd90f3ea8.html

This is mine so don't use it, you will have your own unique code.

You insert it within your All In One SEO generals settings

Thanks Robert.

Actually, I'm using Yoast. Perhaps I can find the place for it there.

Ok then you will have to insert the complete code in the Editor (see pic)

OK, I entered that on line 7 and got this message.-

Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 8 of file wp-content/themes/generatepress/header.php. Please fix and try saving again.

syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF)

This is line 8 -

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {

I didn't change it.

Do I just delete everything before the parentheses?

Sorry to be so dense. I'm in way over my head here.

You place the code Directly underneath - <head>

Thanks,

I moved the code to the line under <head>. After I hit the UPDATE button, I got this message: nonce_failure

Ok then try it directly above - <head>

Fantastic! That worked. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your staying with me on this.

I don't know why it does this but I remember one time I had to put the code above instead of below - <head>.

Not worry about it it gets the job done and I've never had any problems.
Enjoy your Friday and the weekend to come.
Robert

You get the Code from your google Console and paste it into your Wordpress Editor.

There are other ways but this is the way I did it and have never had any problems.

This morning I received an email from the Google AdSense Team that my site does not meet their criteria.

My site is www.sportzracing.com. I reviewed the policies for AdS

Thanks again everyone for all your suggestions. I'll keep adding content and decide later if I want to re-apply.

john

Thanks everyone for your input. I guess what I take from all this is that AdSense is not all that important but the rejection is a sign to me that I have more work to do.

I appreciate all the advice.

John

You're welcome, John. Just keep writing and writing. You'll get there.

Have a great weekend.

As was said elsewhere below, Google likes to see websites that have a lot of content on them and that were published at a consistent rate. You can always go back and re-apply once you have more content.

However you may not want to re-apply because you most likely will be making far more money from your affiliate links. When I first started I too was rejected, so I just kept on creating more and more content.

Then I started making consistent money through my affiliate links. I thought about re-applying but didn't want the Google ads to steal potential customers away from me, so I forgot about AdSense. I've been doing this for 5 years and still do not have AdSense on any of my websites.

Don't invest too much time and mental energy into adsense. I'm 3 months into this and have only earned $4.50 from them, but cashout isn't until $100, so....

I mean, if it's an easy fix, but all means go ahead and figure it out if you want. But if it's being frustrating and sucking up a lot of your time, that time is better spent on building your site more.

It took me awhile to get it figured out because I thought I was rejected, too. Turns out I had accidentally applied with two email addresses. One was approved and I didn't realize it. Google only allows you to have one adsense account, so here I was wasting all this time just because I didn't realize or remember registering prior.

If you have more than one email address, maybe try logging in with all of them to see if maybe you already have an account somehow.

Hi - you have very little content on your site - only six articles with gaps of two or three months between some of them. Google likes to see around 50 articles that have been posted on a regular basis, at least two per week. In fact, you need to be doing this anyway, regardless of AdSense.

Plus only one article has comments, so Google will assume you are getting no traffic as there is no customer engagement. If nobody is visiting, who is going to click on the ads?

I wouldn't worry about it. I got turned down, but thinking about it, I don't want random advertisements all over my site for very little money.

All the best, Diane

When Google rejected your site, they should have provided the specific reason(s) why they rejected it.

Don't stress out over this. It's really not that big of a deal and it's not uncommon to get rejected. I was rejected the first time, too. I applied later on and was approved. At first, the rejection is shocking but after I did some digging, some people don't even bother with AdSense (because it just doesn't bring in a whole lot).

If you really want to have it on your site, keep building your content and apply again later. There are so many other ways to monetize your site. After you have the traffic, apply to become an affiliate with companies in your niche. Also, you may not have gotten "banned" but there are some other monetizing ideas in this link: Hope this helps.

Wishing you all the best.

Kind regards,
Yvette

The only recommendation I can give you is you need some imagery in your posts and on your main page. Pick some images for your posts and add them. Then set featured images for each so they show as thumbnail images next to your posts on your main page.

Other than that, keep adding content.
