Adsense Monetizing Rules That You Must Know - Viral Bao

In order to monetize your YouTube channel and make money from it, you need to enable the monetization feature on your videos and connect your Adsense account to it (in case you have one, else you can sign up for it). Adsense is a Cost per click advertising program which allows you to include advertisements in starting of the video, when the viewer clicks the ad you get your share of money for advertising it. Now, whenever those ads roll at the starting of your video and someone clicks it, you get paid for that. While a solitary tap on a YouTube video may just yield a couple of pennies, those pennies rapidly add up when you have a great deal of audience engaging with the ads on your YouTube channel.

But it doesn't end here. YouTube recently put a restriction on who can make ad money from their video platform. YouTube announced in a blog post that it will not show ads on videos by those channels having less than 10,000 total views. Sounds a little bit of trouble for new creators aspiring to be in the YouTube Partner Program until they get 10,000 total views on their channel. It appears that the future aspirants won't be accepted into Partner Program until they fulfill the 10,000-view criteria.

So, here's a brief look on Adsense policies:

Rules on clicks and impressions on ads:

Creators and channel publishers are not supposed to click their own ads or use any unethical means to boost clicks artificially.
