ASTRA × ADSENSE / 13 DAYS
A new Lab with 21 public articles, approved on its first AdSense application
At application time, Lab had 21 public articles, with six featured cases on the homepage. This new subdomain site under the existing company domain passed its first AdSense review in 13 days, without resubmission.
The problem
Building a large archive before applying felt daunting. I wanted to use work I had already done.
My approach
I selected real projects, built a new subdomain site and refined its content, navigation, images and links with an agent.
What changed
The first application after building Lab was approved, 13 days from September 16 to September 29.

SMALL START / FIRST APPLICATION
The new Lab was approved before I built a large archive.
The company website already existed, but Lab was a new space. I turned my own work into cases, finished the site with an agent and submitted the first application.
Select original work
I published 21 articles and featured six of them on the homepage.
Build a new Lab
I created a new subdomain site under the existing company domain and checked its content, images, navigation and links.
Pass the first review
Applied September 16, approved September 29: 13 days, without resubmission.
The reviewed domain was upmi.re.kr; the cases were at lab.upmi.re.kr. There were 21 public articles, including six homepage features, with translations counted once. The 13 days measure submission to approval.

BUILD DETAILS
Build details & ideas to reuse
01I started without a large archive
The point of this experience is that a newly built subdomain site with a small content collection passed its first review. Approval arrived before my original plan to build substantial blog traffic and a larger archive.
At application time, there were 21 public articles, six of them featured on the homepage: presentations, HomeKit, classroom tools and NAS projects among them. Korean and English versions count as one article; information pages and externally linked materials are excluded. The seven featured cases now include this AdSense story, added after approval.
02Existing work became a new subdomain site
The company website upmi.re.kr already existed. I created lab.upmi.re.kr beneath it as a new home for my project stories. This was a new content site on an existing domain, not a newly purchased domain.
I supplied the desired outcome and original material. The agent helped build case narratives, images, Korean and English pages, navigation and links. We checked information pages, mobile layout and public access, and repaired unavailable documents. I directed the work while the agent carried it across writing and site implementation.
0313 days, first application approved
I submitted upmi.re.kr for review on September 16 and received approval on September 29. The case content was published at lab.upmi.re.kr. The first review passed without a rejection and resubmission.
The 13 days measure application to approval, not the creation of the existing company site or all the underlying projects. The result was finishing a new Lab and passing its first review.
04What I would do first again
I would start by choosing work I have actually done and material I can publish. I would focus on useful cases, supported by real screens or deliverables, then check navigation, links and mobile layout before applying.
This is not a formula that a particular small number of posts guarantees approval. I do not know Google’s internal reasons, and an existing company site was part of the context. My own result was first-application approval for the new Lab; the next task is attracting interested readers and improving the content.
Scope and things to consider
Counts are based on the September 16 pre-application release: 21 public articles, including six homepage features. These are overlapping counts, not 27 articles. Dates are based on work records and my confirmation. The diagram is not a Google approval screen.
