Hello, I applied for Google Adsense with my site : http://businessdayghana.com and this is the 3rd time the application has been rejected. Here is the message from Google Adsense :
“Site does not comply with Google policies: We’re unable to approve your AdSense application at this time because your site does not comply with the Google AdSense program policies or adhere to the Webmaster Quality guidelines. It’s our goal to provide our advertisers sites that offer rich and meaningful content, receive organic traffic, and allow us to serve well-targeted ads to users. We believe that currently your site does not fulfill this criteria.
Here are some recommendations to help you improve the user experience on your site and comply with AdSense criteria:
It’s important for sites displaying Google ads to offer significant value to the user. As a publisher, you must provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.
Don’t place ads on auto-generated pages or pages with little to no original content.
Your site should also provide a good user experience through clear navigation and organization. Users should be able to easily click through your pages and find the information they’re seeking. ”
Besides, I have no ads on my site and I don’t know what to do. Need help.
Thanks
Google doesn’t accept you based on the originality, importance, or type of content you’re publishing. Nothing to do with the theme.
You might try some of the forums online related to issues with Google AdSense acceptance.
Basically if your site has a lot of “copied” content from other sources, has questionable content topics against their policies, is located in certain countries, has misleading or confusing URL/domain too similar to a brand, if your site is nothing more than YouTube videos, etc., then they don’t feel you should be showing their ads.
In other words:
a) original content
b) images not taken from other sites
c) some youtube videos along with original content; not just parroting videos from elsewhere
d) content which is not too short — meaning, one paragraph does not make a post
e) remove any affiliate, text links, or inserted content which leads elsewhere or is masked, popups, etc.
f) make sure no hate speech, racism, attacks against anything in particular
You need to carefully read all their requirements in depth, see examples, look at other sites in relation to your own, remove copied content taken from other places, copied photos from other sites, avoid lots of video posts with no content other than video, etc.
They are not obligated to let you in their program, so you actually have to have a site they think is useful in some way.
Hope that helped.
This is very common to be rejected due to being a “splog” (spam blog) for example — not saying you have one, but one example.
