Adsense Approval Guide – How Adsense Approved a Previously Rejected Site
Google Adsense is an adnetwork that pays publishers to display ads on their sites and blogs. Millions of sites use Adsense but millions get rejected too. Even my website (related to Legal law) got rejected twice by Adsense team citing thin content. Here is how they approved my site after six months. So I’ve prepared a simple guide that will be useful for content creators, bloggers and webmasters to make adsense-compatible site that gets quickly approved by Google Adsense team.
If Ad-sense rejects your site, this guide shows what to fix first that helps to site to get approved:
- Write real, helpful and original content in your blog or website’s pages. Fewer but informative articles beat the 100 weak ones. Articles should be minimum 400-500 words. If there are short articles then that would be a major reason your site/blog gets rejected. Adsense does not like thin content. Write in-depth guides which answers users’ query.
- Delete low-value posts that are not helpful. I’ve deleted nearly 200 of such posts and kept only 40 good ones. Also do not use AI generated content including publishing the entire AI written article. Those are as bad as scraped articles.
- Don’t use category or tag pages. Those are mostly thin content with repetitive content. Better to noindex empty category or tage pages as they de-value your site.
- Build 2-4 strong category pages than 100 ones. Add descriptive content to those category pages including related images, products, or videos.
- Use minimal navigation in the site menus. Only keep important links in the navigation.
- Stick to 2-3 topics only. Do not write content unrelated to your main niche.
- Add essential trust pages to your site viz. About us, Contact us, Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, etc. If you are optimizing eCommerce site then add Shipping and Returns page too.
- Many CMS like WordPress have feeds, rss, and other pages. Remove them. They might generate duplicate content which can be seen in search engine results.
- Make all your important web pages crawlable and indexable.
- Use SSL certificate, that is, make your site https:// compatible. It secures visitors information too.
- Remove popups, popunders, or any other ads you’re displaying. Even remove the blogroll (links to third-party sites) from the sidebar of your site’s theme.
- Use a fast web hosting service to load pages faster and a premium theme if possible.
- Keep your site / blog clutter-free and clean. Don’t fill un-necessary content or navigation links.
- Linkout to trusted sites like Wikipedia or authority sites only at minimal as possible.
- Reapply to Adsense when you site is more clear, loads fast, and has helpful content.
Hat tip: The safest path to get approved by Adsense is to clean up your site, add relevant content, use high-resolution images, and use fast loading theme and get your site hosted with a reliable hosting provider before reapplying for adsense approval.
Hi, I am from India. thanks for giving the tips to get adsense approval for rejected site. My website was reject for three times. It’s about toys and reviews about it. But adsense keeps rejecting it for thin-content. I’ve over 200 posts published. I will follow your advice and try to delete un-helpful content, remove categories and tags pages as well. I’ve got hosting with bluehost which is damn slow. I think I’ll either move to digitalocean and get cloudways to manage the vps or will try to host with the-online.com which seems quite popular among bloggers in india who use it for shared hosting. Budget is no problem for me. But indeed site should load quickly for adsense team or they’ll reject.
thanks for this helpful advice. You’ve suggested the most crucial points to consider to reapply to adsense program for rejected blogs. My blog got rejected because I used just 50 posts all written by AI. Now, after reading this advice I’ll rewrite every article manually and clean the site from clutter. Let’s hope it gets approved this time.
My articles on my technology blog are about 300-400 words. I’ve got around 200 post published but still adsense rejected. Now following your guidelines I’ve write more elaborative content ranging between 500-600 or more words. Also, I am thinking to consolidate the total number of posts too. Even few friends on reddit r/adsense had advised me to publish only 40-50 informative and helpful articles rather than writing short posts. I didn’t used AI. I will soon re-apply to adsense after clearing the posts.
Your adsense approval tips are really best. thanks for sharing. I have now hopes that even my sites would be accepted in adsense program. They are related to credit card and loan offers (finance niche) and google seems quite strict about the content that is published on such sites. I certainly hope if I make some changes they’ll approve my rejected site.
Adsense approval is very tough these days because many bloggers are simply copy/pasting AI generated content and sending their blogs and sites for approval. that’s the main reason they get rejected.
I too reapplied for a reject blog after adding more useful content, trimming down the pages to just 20, removing category, adding sitemap in GSC, and making sure google adsense bot can crawl all pages on my site. Within 10 days I got my site approved for adsense. thanks for this guide. It really helped me.
Common reasons for rejection include:
– Insufficient content or low-quality articles
– Prohibited content (adult, gambling, hacking, alcohol-related)
– Poor user experience (slow loading, intrusive pop-ups)
– Missing essential pages like Privacy Policy, About, Contact, or Disclaimer
– Use of copyrighted material or duplicate content
