How can I tell if my google DFP is already linked with my Adsense? - adsense

A former co-worker signed up for an Adsense and Google DFP account. They have since left and I'm trying to figure out if they already linked the DFP account to the Adsense account. I have already read a number of articles, including this one:
https://support.google.com/dfp_sb/answer/188529?hl=en
However, the instructions do not match what I see. I do not see anything called "3rd party services" under Admin in DFP.
Does anyone know how I can check the the DFP and Adsense accounts are now linked?

This doesn't work if you're using DFP for Small Business. instead, you'll just want to add your Adsense embed code as a third-party creative.

Adsense for web apps

Google has Adsense and Admob
Adsense is thought for websites that have a lot of text and content (eg. blogs)
Admob is for mobile apps
But what about web apps?
I have made several free-to-use web apps that are used daily because they help people do things (eg. convert something from one format to another) but they have no paragraphs and little text. Sometimes they are just a form input asking for a file and then the web app returns an output file.
How can I put adsense in these web apps?
I tried to apply for the Adsense program with my homepage but it got rejected. My homepage has a link to each of these web apps and a little description (eg. "A web app for converting XML to PDF", etc)
The rejection email says:
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.
Issues:
Insufficient content:
To be approved for AdSense and show
relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them
for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to
determine what your pages are about.
So... as I see it: To be able to use adsense I will need to create a .com or .net (ie: a first level domain, as needed by Adsense) and fill it with "enough text" and "content".
But what content though? Should I invent content? should I write about my cat?
Writing is not my business. I do web apps.
Google thought on writers and provided Adsense for them.
Google also thought on mobile developers and provided Admob for them.
How should I proceed?
As you commented adsense requires you to publish "enough" content, this is quite subjective because it doesn't say how much is enough for them. I would recommend you to try carbon, I have used it to monetize my webapps and I have not had any problems.

is adsense allowed on social networking websites

i got an email from google this morning that my account would not be approved due to insufficient content . i run a social networking site which does not have contents but more of users images e.t.c is adsense allowed on social networks or dating sites .. see email below
Your AdSense application status
As mentioned in our welcome email, we conduct a second review of your AdSense application once AdSense code is placed on your site(s). As a result of this review, we have disapproved your account for the following violation(s):
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below
Insufficient content: To be approved for AdSense and show relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to determine what your pages are about.
To resolve this issue, please work through the following suggestions:
Make sure that your pages have sufficient text - websites that contain mostly images, videos or Flash animations will not be approved.
Your content should contain complete sentences and paragraphs, not only headlines.
Ensure that your website is fully built and launched before you apply for AdSense - do not apply while your site’s still in a beta or “under construction” phase or only consists of a website template.
Place the ad code on a live page of your website. It does not have to be the main page, but test pages that are empty except for the AdSense ad code will not be approved.
Provide a clear navigation system for your visitors so that they can easily find all of the sections and pages of your website.
If you’d like to monetize YouTube videos, please apply for the YouTube monetization program. Note that blogs and websites that contain only videos will not be approved.
No, you can't.

AdSense management API testing with test account

I am developing a mobile application that uses AdSense management API. I am able to test it with my personal Google account linked with AdSense. However for certification purposes I need to provide a test account that could be used by third party testers.
The application itself is unusable without valid AdSense account with some sample data.
On the AdSense developer site (https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/getting_started) there is a statement indicating that there should be a possibility to create test account:
"You need an AdSense account for testing purposes. If you already have a test account, then you're all set; you can visit the AdSense user interface to set up, edit, or view your test data."
Can anyone tell me how to create test data?
I went through this problem and solved it with the tutorial:

Related to google adsense

i am very confused if someone know about it then please help.
Suppose i have a website "www.abc.cx.ee" (subdomain) ,when i tried to verify this website for using adsense, the adsense account gives me an error that "you should have a domain for example www.exmple.com not a subdomain..... thats ok.
After that i register for another domain "example.cf" and then redirect it to my original website "www.abc.cx.ee" and apply for google adsense with domain "example.cf". Google asked me to place the ad unit code on my website "example.cf".
SO HERE are my questions
Where do i suppose to place the ad unit code ? (i mean to say that i have registered for adsense on domain "example.cf" which will redirect to my original site "www.abc.cx.ee".
Will adsense work that way?
ThankYou.
The review process will start when you put ads on the URL you've submitted - and you can't redirect from it: nothing will happen on the AdSense side, and your application will be "pending" forever.
That means you can put ads and use AdSense on all your suitable-for-AdSense sites, but the initial (one-time) review process will start only when your primary URL start making the ad impressions.
If you can't change the URL and if you can't put ads on it, then you'll need to start another application with another Google account / email addres, if you want to submit another (valid and suitable for monetization) URL.
(And if you have any question specific to your application, account, site, you could ask experts on the official AdSense Help Forum - https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/adsense)

Adsense ads don't show up, only "Ads by Google" and a textbox

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. Feel free to close this thread if needed. But here's my question:
The page where the ad is located is http://engineercreativity.com/adsense.html
I copy/pasted the ad code and placed it in a simple page (because it wasn't working on my actual website).
The ad code is for an adsense "Ad for Content". It's supposed to be something like:
Ads by Google Ad1 Ad2 Ad3 ....
But it shows:
Ads by Google textbox button
Is there a way to fix this. I'm sure it's not related to the code, but rather to the Google Ads settings. Are any of you familiar with Google Adsense?
It's working as intended. It doesn't have any ads to show because of the lack of actual content on the page.
You inserted the ad correctly. But did you mean to set the ad's height to 15?
And as Matt H answered, you'll have to wait for Google to crawl your site before it serves relevant advertisements.
