Why my blog is not approved for adsense How to fix it ?

A popular question in any Google AdSense forum is: why did my AdSense application get rejected? There are a number of reasons why this may happen (listed below). But if you haven’t already applied for AdSense and are just doing your homework (kudos!), the first step towards getting accepted by Google is to plan very carefully.
Step 1: A Clear Plan

A website should be built with a goal and a purpose. Start preparing for Google AdSense approval by designing a clear site plan that includes:
Great content that’s useful and purposeful (like this blog post!)
All the standard site pages (About, Home, Info…)
A design that is simple and easy to navigate
Useful details that site visitors will want to know

Let’s jump into that site plan a bit more starting with your site content.
Step 2: Create Something Worth Reading


Google’s original search goal was to provide Internet users with search hits that were useful and informative. As concepts like SEO grew, this quest became a lot harder. Google bots now have to find truly helpful or relevant websites that are full of more than just keyworded fluff. This means that you have to prove your worth by setting up a blog that stands out before you even consider applying for AdSense.

Basic blog rules:
Create at least 10 posts that are shareable and useful
Add images and other data that pertains to your topic
Make those posts 500 words or more (the new standard is slowly reaching the 2000 words)

If you aren’t the world’s best wordsmith, consider hiring a professional to create your posts for you.

While content is crucial, this is just the first step.
Step 3: It’s Design Time

Is your site easy to navigate? Does it have a clear purpose and provide users with clear details? Even though colors, fonts, and flashy designs can be fun to play with, simpler is much better when it comes to blog design. White space, basic font, and images that are well developed make the most sense to Google.
Step 4: Apply To Google AdSense


Ready? Here’s the link to submit your AdSense application.

You will need to provide your name, address, and legitimate phone number (don’t use a number that doesn’t exist!). Your site has to be completely original, and that means that AdSense before has never accepted it, so keep this in mind. After 24-48 hours, you should get a response from Google. If your site follows all of the guidelines above, approval should be granted rather quickly. But, what if your site follows the steps listed above and you still weren’t approved?
Reasons why Google may have rejected your site
1. No questionable content

What is questionable content? Anything that’s pornographic; promotes alcohol, tobacco, or firearms (or sells these items); any content that includes a lot of swear words. If you aren’t sure about your content, ask yourself this question: would your grandmother approve? If not, delete it!

2. Plagiarism problems

Google has very strict rules when it comes to plagiarism. If there is any question as to whether or not you own any media on your site, give proper attribution if it’s fair use, and get permission if it isn’t fair use. Fair use usually means that you’re only quoting a minor part of the infringing content and linking back to it with proper attribution.

If you’re quoting an entire article, then that doesn’t count as fair use; it’s plagiarism.

This is true of images, too. If you’re using images you’ve found on Google Images without proper attribution or permission, then you’re plagiarizing that content, too. Google wants to avoid potential copyright issues and problems with their advertisers, so they’ve (rightfully) taken a hard line on plagiarized or copyrighted content.


Helpful note: if you’ve hired a blogger to create content for you and aren’t sure where that content came from, this could be an issue. Try editing your content (including images) and replacing it with words and photos that have been used fairly (see above).

3. You’re just a baby

Is your site less than three months old? Sorry! Google won’t take a chance on sites that are in the infant stage. If this is the case, you’ll have to sit back and wait. Why? Google is trying to keep spam sites from popping up overnight. If your site has been around for more than three months, there’s a good chance that you are in it for the long run – not just to make a few bucks.

Note: In India and Pakistan, you must wait six months instead of the usual three months before applying to AdSense.
Why Is Google So Tough?


Some of Google’s AdSense rules may seem a bit like Google’s trying to nanny all their network sites into being PG and kid-friendly, but the purpose is to make advertisers feel safe spending money on Google’s ad network.

Just think about it: if Google allowed ads to run on sites with pornographic material on them, then family-conscious advertisers would feel concerned about the effect on their brand and move elsewhere. That’s not a good strategy for Google. While being rejected isn’t fun, you can usually clean up your site and gain approval – or, even better, make sure that your site complies with Google’s AdSense rules from the start.
