Step 1: Add a new domain to your account
![](http://www.google.com/adsense/static/en_US/images/Step_1.png)
You can add domains to your account in one of two ways: by adding them into the text box line-by-line or by uploading a CSV spreadsheet. Remember to specify the language of your domains as well, and note that you can upload a maximum of 1500 domains.
After the domains are added, they'll appear under the Pending subtab of the AdSense for domains page. All domains submitted are subject to Google's approval per our program policies.
Step 2: Modify your domain registrar settings
In order to allow Google to display ads on your domains, you'll need to modify some settings at your domain registrar. This is necessary to ensure ads show up correctly on your domain. We've provided a step-by-step guide to assist with pointing your domain to Google's server. If you've registered your domain with a common domain registrar like GoDaddy, Enom, Moniker, or others, customized step-by-step instructions are available. We've also provided generic instructions in case your specific registrar isn't listed in our guide.
After you've modified your registrar's settings, your domains should automatically move from the Pending subtab to the Active subtab as soon as the records validate (usually 48 hours or less). If your domain remains in the Pending subtab after this time, check our validation status information page to determine why. If your domain has moved to the Disapproved subtab, learn why this may have happened.
Step 3: Customize using colors

You can customize your domains by adding colors and keyword hints by editing your domain settings. To get to the settings page, click on the domain(s) that you'd like to edit, select the drop-down menu labeled Actions..., and click the Edit Settings option.

As you change the colors on the right-hand side, you can view how your page will look on the left-hand side of the page.
Step 4: Add keyword hints

Also found on the the Edit Settings page is the option to add keyword hints to your selected domain(s). Keywords entered into this field assist ad targeting for potentially ambiguous domains. For more information, visit our entry on keyword hints.
Step 5: Define channels
It's a good idea to use channels to track your domains, especially if you have a large portfolio. If you're new to using channels, you can find more information in our channels guide.

AdSense for domains stats can be found along with the rest of your AdSense reports by visiting the Reports tab, then the Advanced Reports page. You can also break down your earnings by domain or by channel by selecting the radio buttons on the right-hand side of the page. Learn more about the types of stats you'll see when viewing your AdSense for domains reports.
