Make sure to put in the correct information for each field. Use a real name, email, and address. You will be asked to verify your address after some months when your account is already approved.
Login and Verify your AdSense account
After you successfully create an account, Google will need to make sure the website you submitted for review is owned by you. For your site to begin the Adsense approval review process, you will need to login to your account, copy your verification code and place it in the header on your website/blog.
