01. Points To Consider Before You Apply To AdSense

Here are some important points that you must consider before you apply to AdSense Program:

  • Your Tumblr blog should point to a Custom Domain. Though you can apply with your Tumblr subdomain, but you can’t be sure whether Google AdSense will approve your blog for displaying Google Ads or not! Examples of Tumblr Subdomains: “meerbasit.tumblr.com“, “comedy.tumblr.com“, etc. Read the section “02. Setup Custom Domain On Tumblr” below to learn more about subdomains and How to redirect your Tumblr domain to custom domain.
  • AdSense does not approve blogs with copied or unoriginal content like quotes, etc. You must create your own unique and original content.
  • Your Tumblr blog and content must comply with AdSense Program’s & Google Publisher Policies.

02. Setup Custom Domain On Tumblr

The Custom Domain feature on Tumblr allows you to redirect your Tumblr subdomain to a custom domain.

Any domain which ends with “tumblr.com” is the subdomain of Tumblr like “johncomedy.tumblr.com“, “example.tumblr.com“, etc. Though Tumblr creates subdomains free-of-cost for you, but actually they are the property of “tumblr.com”. You don’t own them fully.

Custom domains are standard domains which are not part of any other domain. The person who buys the custom domain belongs to him. He has the full authority over it. “meersworld.net“, “bbc.com“, “howtogeek.com“, etc, are some examples of custom domain.

In order to know each and everything related to setting up a custom domain on Tumblr, read our step-by-step guide below:

If you have not setup custom domain on your Tumblr blog then enter your Tumblr subdomain like, “https://meerbasit.tumblr.com“, “https://example.tumblr.com“.
  • In “Get more out of AdSense” choose an option. If you choose NO then you won’t receive support and performance suggestions emails from AdSense.
