It was supposed to be easy to set up Google Adsense for domains but for whatever reason it wasn’t.\u00a0 I have a parked domain on bluehost (http:\/\/www.itjobsseattle.com<\/a>) which I am using to experiment with.\u00a0 For some reason, after adding it to Adsense, the domain could not be verified.\u00a0 I set up the 4 name servers as Google recommends<\/a>.\u00a0 Then I waited for it to update.\u00a0 The next day I checked the domain to find that it was pointing to Google but getting a 404 error on their servers.\u00a0 Their next recommendation was to manually setup the DNS entries (A and CNAME records)<\/a>.\u00a0 I did so in the Bluehost DNS Zone Editor.\u00a0 I deleted all records except those that Google asks for.\u00a0 The 404 error remained and Adsense refused to verify my DNS settings.\u00a0 After fiddling with it for a while this is what worked for me…<\/p>\n

  1. In the Bluehost Domain Manager, set your domain’s name servers to point to the default Bluehost servers.<\/li>\n
  2. In the Bluehost DNS Zone Editor, set the A and CNAME records as recommended by Google<\/a>.\u00a0 You might have to wait 4 to 24 hours before moving on to the next step.\u00a0 Bluehost’s default TTL on their DNS entries is 4 hours.<\/li>\n
  3. In Adsense click the link to verify your domain.\u00a0 It should verify properly at this point but typing the domain name into a browser without the www will take you to your Bluehost website.\u00a0 With the www it should go to a Google page of links.<\/li>\n
  4. In the Bluehost Domain Manager, set your domain’s name server to point to the 4 name servers recommended by Google<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
