what do you need to qualify for google adsense?

my tumblr has over 1000 followers, it gets about 70 views a day and about 25 unique visitors a day, is it easy to qualify and get accepted?

Google always makes their user experience a high priority, sites with no rel redeeming properties or those that trick users into clicking ads would be rejected. They want to see a reasonable amount of quality, original content, for a blog this would probably be 5-10 articles of 500 words or more.

Approving the actual operator of the site is probably more important than the site, there is a fairly high incidence of click fraud in such ad systems, more so in second tier networks. Hence their requirements for somewhat difficult to fake identification.

My blog was accepted into Adsense today. I only had a total of 10 blog posts with an average of 500 words per post. Of course the level of content required may change on a case to case basis, so remember only to consider this a vague outline.

Just create a halfway decent website or blog and they will approve you. Have something on your own domain. Over the long run, that is what you are going to need anyway.
