Common reasons why Adsense can reject your application


Here are some most common reasons behind not getting approved by google adsense. I’ve also listed Google Adsense requirements that you should always keep in mind before applying for Adsense.


1. Inappropriate/Insufficient Website Content


This means that your website doesn’t have enough content to review it from Google Specialists.


Google pays full attention on your web content before accepting your application. Google will right away reject your blog’s application if it contains grammatical errors or written poorly.


But writing grammatical error free content is not enough. You have to create unique content for your site which provides value to blog readers.


So, Poor content on blog is the most common reason which should be avoided.


2. Blog Design and Layout


If you open a website having bright yellow background and has white text on it with huge buttons all over, What will be your next step ?


I know your answer, No or I would say Never ! You will never going to open that site again.


Blogs with poor layout and designs are hard for visitors to navigate through.


You must have a good blog design which looks decent. User should feel good opening your site. Navigation should be properly done without any issues.


3. Lack of About Us, Privacy Policy and Contact Us Pages


There are some pages which are essential before applying for Google Adsense in order to get your adsense application approved.

About Us page, Contact and Privacy Policy Pages are must have pages. These pages makes a professional impression and indicates Google that you are working according to their policies. Do remember, Privacy Policy Page is one of the requirements which Google asks before getting adsense approval.


4. Site Does not Follow Adsense Policies


Having no unique, rich and informative content, Less organic traffic, Bad user experiences because of poor navigation.


Driving traffic to your website from illegal website sources, excessive keyword stuffing or bad layout design blogs are usually rejected by Google specialists.


So, for not facing rejections anymore you need a complete guidance and few essential tips before applying for Google Adsense


Things to do Before Applying for Google Adsense


1. Writing Unique and High-Quality Content


Most important factor to be done correctly before applying for Google Adsense is to create high-quality content for your blog. Unique and high-quality content can’t be ignored at any cost.


Google really loves those blogs who are providing them with high quality content. This also leads to increase daily blog traffic. Always remember that your Adsense application will be reviewed by humans and impressing those people is the only possible way to get your Google Adsense application approved.


Wondering what does it means by high-quality content ?


A high-quality content must have these things :-


1. Unique and Original Content.
2. Proper headlines and bullets.
3. Grammatical free Content.
4. Having good Content Length.
5. Content Should be Informative and Useful.


2. Create Privacy Policy Page For your Blog


This is the most common mistake done by many bloggers. There are bloggers who say that having a privacy policy page for your blog doesn’t make any sense, but they are absolutely wrong.


This is the first thing which you should make before putting adsense application for your blog or website. If you does not have this page then it will be very difficult to get approval, Simple as that.


But why it is important ?


First of all, Privacy Policy Page is the requirement for adsense. Another reason is this page shows that you are not a scam. It give a professional touch and sense of some serious business to your blog. Google will check other conditions only if you have this page on your blog.


Privacy Policy tells your readers what they will be getting on your blog, what to be done and what not. Well, there’s nothing bad in having a privacy policy page.


There are many free online privacy policy page generator which you can use to make a privacy page for your blog/website.


3. How to Create About Us Page


Similar to Privacy Policy Page, You must have a About Us page on your blog. About us pages shows google that their is a real person behind that blog.


Even in case you don’t want to apply for Adsense then also About us page has it’s own importance. If you have not published this page on your blog then there are zero chances for getting approved.


This page describe you as well as your relationship with the blog. Other than this, it also helps in making good relationship with your blog readers and make them trust over your blog.


4. Creating Contact us Page


What if your blog readers wanted to share their opinion about your blog with you ?


Giving your readers an opportunity to speak up to you and knowing their feedback about your blog, What they liked, what they don’t liked or what should be edited.


For creating a contact us page you should add some necessary details. Adding your email address that you’ll be using in your application. You can also buy some professional email address from various online services. You can also add your social media profile links up there.


Contact us page shows that we are caring for our readers and ready to help them out. They can contact us and tell their opinions.


Google adsense team will also came to know that you care about your visitors and not just the money and Google Adsense.


Note : Google Adsense wants a clear navigation menu which help your readers finding pages and accessing them without facing any problem.  


Adding a menu bar with all important pages and categories like About us, Contact us and privacy policy page on your blog helps you readers in finding out actual things what they are looking for. The more you care about your user experience, more chances will be there for getting application approval.


5. Properly Verify your Name and Email


Before applying for adsense don’t forget to put your working email address in visible pages like Contact and About us pages. This will help Google in confirming that you are the same person which is applying for approval not some scam or bots.


Because of this thing your verification process will be carried out smoothly without any complications.


6. Good Number of Blog Posts


Well, there’s no particular answer for the minimum posts requirements on your blog.


I have seen many blogs with 300+ posts facing rejection while there are bloggers who have less number of blog posts not even 30 posts but still enjoying making money with Google Adsense.


Exactly, What I have said above. However, we can predict things.


According to my blogging experience, your blog should have at least 20 high-quality posts. Your each posts should be unique and useful and have 600+ words limit.


If your blog have following things you can apply for adsense :-


1. Clean and Simple website layout.
2. Proper Navigation.
3. Unique Blog Posts Niche.
4. Detailed Content.
5. Avoid “Unwanted” Blog widgets.


7. Age Limit - You’ve to be 18+


This is the most common mistake done by many newbie bloggers. Bloggers less than 18 years apply for adsense and face rejection. Sometimes they even mention incorrect ages and face problems.


You should always use your correct date of birth while applying for adsense account.


Google Adsense is not for those who are below 18 years. Many bloggers makes their blog successful but because of the adsense age limit they fail to approve their adsense account.


I’ll advice you to mention your true age instead of playing any tricks with Google. .


8. Simple and Clean Blog Design


I have also mentioned this point above, Your blog designs matter a lot in your application approval. You should give your blog a professional look. It should not look like a messy design. Google really appreciate those site who have clean, simple and fast loading website design.


Blog’s design is the first thing which you notice whenever you visit any blog. You have to improve your blog design to make a good first impression on your blog.


After quality content blog design is another most important factor. Professionalism, experience and expertise are represented by your blog design.


Your blog design must have these following features :-


1. Clean, Simple and Professional Look.
2. Proper and Easy Navigation.
3. Avoid Unwanted elements in sidebars and footer.
4. Search Engine Friendly.
5. Quick Loading.
6. Menu bar with necessary pages.


You should be very carefully while following these tips as even a small mistake can kill your chances for adsense application approval.


You can easily find thousands of websites offering free professional blog theme for your blog. You just need to look online for blog templates.


But, if you are using wordpress then I will recommend you to get a premium blog template from MyThemeShop.


If you are using blogspot platform then you can find thousands of free blog templates for your blog.


9. Do Check your Content Properly


You should always be careful with the type of content you publish on your blog. This thing is something which truly matters for your blog.


You should not publish following type of content on your blog :-    


1. Pornography/Adult Contents.
2. Hacking tricks and tutorials.
3. Pirated Content.
4. Illegal Contents and other similar stuffs.


While creating your blog posts you should be careful with your language. Below is the list of languages which are only supported by Google Adsense.


Languages-AdSense-supports


Recently, In one of their forum posts Google Adsense team has mentioned that they have stopped approving blogs with money making, website and SEO stuffs and marketing posts.

If you are working or already written about these niches then in this case you can delete those blog posts or can stop thinking for Google Adsense.


10. Using Google Domain name


Recently, Google has made some changes in their policies. If your blog has .blogspot.com subdomain name then chances for adsense approval increase.


But in case is you are using domain name such as .com then you have to submit the request to get your adsense account upgraded.


These days, you must have your own unique blog domain name. In case you don’t have one then get it right now. You have to buy a good domain name for your blog and if can’t afford one then stop dreaming about Adsense approval.


You can easily get domain names with some additional things like website builder and professional email address from various services available online. Godaddy, Bigrock and Namecheap are one of those most popular sites which offers these services.


I’ll recommend you to buy .com domain as it is considered the best domain. Except these things you should take care that your domain must be unique, attractive, easy to remember and related to your blog niche.


Domain age is another important thing which is considered by Google. In some Asian countries like India, Adsense has put some domain age restrictions. Google Adsense team won’t accept such sites which are less than 6 months older.


I’ve read many stories where people get adsense approval for few weeks old blogs while others having blog domain age older than 6 months got rejected. So, Domain age doesn’t matter really. If you have a high-quality content over your blog with proper site design then in such cases domain age doesn’t matters. Google will easily accept your application if your blog focus more on helping people.


11. Removing all other ad Networks from your blog


If you are publishing any other ads over your blog such as Infolinks, Clicksor, Media.net by Yahoo or anything else, it’s time to say them bye. You need to delete all other ads before applying for google adsense.


Remove all types of ads from your blog before putting your adsense application.


You can use other ad networks with Google Adsense but it’s better not to use before applying for approval. You can remove other ad networks for free weeks from your blog when you want to put application to Google Adsense.


12. Analysing your Website Traffic Sources


Google hates those sites who are getting paid traffic and most of the time they penalizes those sites so they doesn’t get a single chance for getting their application approved. If you really want to earn via Google Adsense then you should avoid getting paid traffic. You can drive traffic through social media, search engines or any other sources to your blog.


Note : Google doesn’t accepts those applications which are getting traffic from illegal website sources. Therefore, you must focus on getting visitors through social media sites, search engines and other related blogs.


What to do If not getting your application approved ?


Okay, tried everything but couldn’t make it ?


Well, In this  condition you can try these two ways :-


1. Try again, Don’t Give Up !


Try to fix all the issues due to which adsense is not approving your application. Remember you can keep on trying again and again until you get it right. There’s no limit for putting your application to Google Adsense. Just remember to use the same email address you used it for the first time.
