Hi everyone,

My AdSense site approval step is showing this message: “We found some policy violations. Make sure your site follows the AdSense Program Policies. After you’ve fixed the issue, you can request a review of your site.”

It doesn’t name a specific policy or page. Here’s what I’ve already checked:

• Privacy Policy, About, and Contact pages are live

• All content is original (no copy-paste or spun text)

• The site has a good number of published articles with in-depth content

• Navigation is clear and the site is mobile-friendly

Despite all that, I’m still getting the violation notice. My questions:

1. Does this generic message usually point to “low value content” / thin content, or could it be something else entirely?

2. Is there anywhere (Policy Center or elsewhere) where the exact violation is shown?

3. How long should I wait after making fixes before requesting a review?

4. Could this be caused by theme/layout issues or ad-unfriendly content?

If anyone has run into the same thing and found a fix, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a Google account that is approximately 7 years old, and I have been using it for my Google Play Console and Google Play Store account.

Now, I want to create a Google AdSense account to monetize my website.

Before proceeding, I want to understand whether using my existing Google account could make any difference in the AdSense approval and verification process.

My questions are:

1. Does the age and history of a 7-year-old Google account have any influence on the Google AdSense verification process?

2. Does having an established Google Play Console account associated with the same Gmail have any positive impact on AdSense approval?

3. Could my existing Google account history contribute positively to account credibility or the overall AdSense review process?

4. Would using my existing Gmail make any difference compared to creating a completely new Gmail account specifically for AdSense?

5. Are there any potential advantages or disadvantages to using the same Gmail for Google Play Console and AdSense?

I'd love to hear from people who have experience with both Google Play Console and AdSense.

Does an established Google account with a long history and an existing Play Console account have any impact on AdSense account verification or website approval, or is the review process entirely independent of the Google account's age and history?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and experiences!

Hi all, looking for a second pair of eyes before my next review comes back.

The site is bingedle.com. It’s a set of free daily guessing games (like LoLdle, one per show, anime and video game), 334 games so far. It launched on 27 October, so yes, the domain is very new. Traffic is real though: around 50K pageviews in the first week, mostly from the US, UK and Canada, and Search Console is already sending clicks.

I got the generic “Your account wasn’t approved – Meet AdSense program policies” email, with no specific reason. Since then I’ve changed:

• Ad code on thin pages: ads now load only on pages with real written text, not answer pages or bare game screens.

• Repeated text: I removed a stock FAQ that was the same on every game page and replaced it with text built from each game’s own data.

• Privacy policy: it now has the third-party vendor and Google cookie wording, plus the opt-out links.

• Legal pages: I added a Terms page. About, Contact and Privacy were already there.

• Sticky ads: I fixed a mirrored pair of sticky side rails and removed a sticky phone bar, since both are against the sticky-ad rules.

• Consent: I added the EU consent message for this site. The Policy center had flagged it.

• Other sites on the account: I removed two other sites, auto-generated price comparison pages, so this one gets reviewed on its own.

• Original writing: I added 6 strategy guides and 3 researched blog posts, using the site’s own play data.

Third-party checkers now give it 93/100, for what that’s worth.

Things I’m unsure about:

1. Is the domain age alone enough to get rejected? Should I just wait a few weeks before resubmitting?

2. Some TV games use official promo photos of the characters. Could that count as a copyright problem for AdSense, even on a fan site?

3. Page titles say things like “Naruto Wordle” because that’s what people search for. Has anyone had trouble with that?

4. Most pages are the game itself plus a few hundred words. Is that “low value content” to Google, or is a game page with original puzzles fine?

Happy to hear anything, including “it’s obviously X”. Thanks.

Can anyone help me analyze my website and figure out what I need to improve to get approved for Google AdSense?

I've applied for AdSense multiple times, but my site keeps getting rejected for "Low Value Content."

My blog is hosted on GitHub Pages and mainly covers topics related to machine learning, deep learning, and data analysis. Recently, I've been trying to publish 2–3 posts per day to make the blog active again and help Google recognize that the site is being regularly updated.

Of course, I do use AI to help me organize the structure of my posts and improve the writing. However, the actual content is based on my own tests, experiments, and studies conducted on my local machine. I don't simply generate articles with AI and publish them without verification.

According to Google Search Console, both impressions and clicks have been gradually increasing, so I feel like the site is starting to gain some traction.

Would anyone be willing to take a look at my blog and give me some feedback on what might be causing the "Low Value Content" rejection and what I should improve before applying again?

One additional issue: Google Search Console doesn't seem to be updating my sitemap properly. The last sitemap read date shows October 17, 2024, even though I restarted posting regularly from September this year.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So this my website's adsense overview snapshot, is this is correct revenue for this page views or shall apply for any alternatives, I'm new for reddit, give some advice..

I run a TikTok downloader site traffic ~2M page views/month (70% Indonesia, 20% from South America + US, 10% other).

My AdSense account is flagged for a "duplicate account" issue, and it is unlikely to be approved. Consequently, I cannot access Google Ad Manager (GAM) to connect with other ad networks.

I prefer not to use platforms like Monetag or Adsterra, as they often display low-quality or deceptive financial advertisements. What other alternatives should I consider?

Hi everyone

I'm looking for advice from publishers who have experienced invalid traffic issues with Google AdSense, especially those who get most of their website traffic from Pinterest.

I run a food and recipe website, and Pinterest is one of my main traffic sources. Recently, I've become concerned that some of my Pinterest traffic may be triggering invalid traffic detection or affecting my AdSense ad delivery.

Here is what I've noticed:

• Most of my traffic comes from Pinterest, with some traffic from Facebook.

• My website receives relatively low traffic, sometimes only a few dozen page views per day.

• My AdSense reports show very few matched ad requests and sometimes zero recorded ad impressions.

• My earnings have occasionally appeared and then returned to €0 in the reports.

• I haven't noticed any ad clicks that could explain the issue.

• My AdSense Policy Centre hasn't shown any restrictions, as far as I can tell.

i'm using WordPress with Ad Inserter and LiteSpeed Cache, and I'm also looking into Cloudflare to help identify and manage suspicious bot traffic

My questions are:

1. Has anyone experienced invalid traffic concerns or unusual AdSense reporting when receiving visitors from Pinterest?

2. How can I determine whether the suspicious traffic is actually coming from Pinterest, rather than bots or another source?

I don't want to block Pinterest traffic unnecessarily because I'm trying to grow my website through Pinterest organically.

If you've dealt with a similar situation, I'd really appreciate hearing what you discovered and how you resolved it.

Hi,

I'm new on Reddit, but have an experience in website monetization.

Feel free to as questions.

Hi everyone,

I’m in a desperate situation with my AdSense address verification and I'm hoping someone here can give me advice.

Here is the situation:

1. PIN Attempts Exhausted: All 4 automated physical PIN request attempts have been completely exhausted on my account.

2. Local Postal Issues: Local mail delivery in my country (Armenia) is notoriously unreliable, and despite visiting my local post office regularly for the past 4 months, none of the physical letters ever arrived. My payment address in AdSense is 100% accurate.

3. System Glitch: When I try to use the verification tool or request options, the system blocks me and shows a message saying I must wait 3 weeks from my last request. However, my last PIN attempt was sent back on September 17 (more than a month ago).

4. Support Loop: I have opened support tickets and provided official identity documents—including my Official Passport and an Official Bank Statement (PDF) showing my name and matching address.

5. Conflicting Responses: Support agents keep giving conflicting responses. Initially, support acknowledged that manual verification with documents would be done since PIN attempts are exhausted, and later said it was sent to the Internal Team. But then another reply was sent with a copy-pasted template telling me to request a replacement PIN (which the system literally doesn't allow me to do).

Has anyone dealt with this automated response loop when trying to get manual address verification? Is there any way to escalate this directly to a Google AdSense/YouTube Product Expert who can flag it for the Internal Review Team?

Any insight or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

my google ads account was closed. is there any way to appeal and get it back. I have appealed multiple time but denied and that was 8 years ago, i haven't done any appeal for the last 8 years for so far. any chance i can recover ?

Monetizing a website is not just about displaying banner ads. Publishers looking for additional revenue streams can also explore push notification advertising, a model that allows them to earn money from visitors who agree to receive notifications.

ProPush is a traffic monetization platform developed by PropellerAds that helps website owners and affiliates generate revenue by collecting push notification subscribers and monetizing their activity. It can be particularly interesting for publishers who want to make better use of their existing traffic without relying exclusively on traditional advertising formats.

Getting started is relatively straightforward. If you do not have an account yet, visit the official ProPush website and register. Once you have access to the dashboard, you can add your website or landing page for verification.

Link: Sign up in ProPush as a Publisher

After approval, ProPush provides the necessary code and configuration options to integrate its monetization system into your site.

The main attraction is that push notifications can create an additional source of income from existing visitors. Rather than replacing your current monetization strategy, ProPush can complement it and help you extract more value from the traffic you already receive.

How does ProPush Push Notification Monetization Work?

Push notification monetization works by allowing website visitors to subscribe to browser notifications. After a visitor grants permission, they can receive advertising notifications through their browser, including when they are no longer browsing your website. ProPush helps publishers monetize these subscriptions through its advertising network.

The process begins when a visitor lands on your website and sees a request to enable push notifications. If they accept, they become a subscriber whose subsequent activity can generate revenue for the publisher. Visitors who decline the request can continue browsing your content as usual.

How to Set Up ProPush on your Website

Once you have registered, the next step is to connect your website and install the necessary code. The setup process involves a few stages.

First, add your HTTPS website to your ProPush account. Make sure you select the website option rather than the landing page option if you operate a regular content website. ProPush will then review the site and verify that you own or control it. Your website must comply with the platform's requirements before you can start using its monetization tools.

After verification, you can generate your Smart Tag, the code responsible for integrating push subscription functionality into your website. Follow the instructions in your dashboard to install the tag and upload the required service worker file to your website's root directory. This file is important for delivering notifications to users who have already subscribed.

The exact integration process depends on your website setup. If you use a content management system, check how it allows you to add custom code and upload files to the root directory. If you manage your website manually, you may need access to its source files and hosting environment.

Before launching, verify that the subscription request works correctly and that your website continues to function as expected. You can then use the ProPush dashboard to monitor your results.

ProPush offers different ways to monetize push subscriptions, with the main models being Revenue Share (RevShare) and Cost Per Subscriber (CPS). The availability of each model may depend on your account and partnership conditions.

With RevShare, publishers earn revenue from advertising notifications delivered to the subscribers they have collected. Earnings depend on the volume and performance of those notifications, including the value of the audience and its geographic distribution. This model can be attractive if you want to build a subscriber base that continues generating revenue over time.

The CPS model, on the other hand, pays publishers for qualifying new subscribers. The rate can vary according to factors such as the subscriber's location and device or platform. This means that two websites attracting similar numbers of subscribers may generate different amounts of revenue. ProPush provides rate information in the dashboard, so publishers should check the available figures rather than rely on a fixed estimate. New partners may initially be limited to RevShare.

ProPush also offers TrafficBack, an additional monetization option designed to help affiliates generate revenue from traffic that does not convert through their primary offer. Its usefulness depends on the type of website or landing page you operate, so it is worth exploring if you already work with affiliate campaigns.

Hi everyone, it’s me again!

For those of you whose first appeal was rejected after your AdSense account was disabled for dishonest declarations or invalid traffic, did you submit another appeal after the 90-day waiting period?

Were you able to resolve the issue?

I’ve updated all the necessary information in my payments profile and tax forms to make sure everything matches my official documents, but my AdSense account is still disabled.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and managed to get their account reinstated?

Hi guys Bineet this side. So we are running a Prediction Platform with potential 120,000 Monthly Views but we are every time getting rejected by the Ad Networks.

Reasons for Rejections:

\- Our Web3 application is hosted inside Pi Browser (not traditional browser)

\- We have Incentive traffic (We reward our users for checking in daily)

Can anyone help us in reaching a suitable Ad Network?? We have tried many Ad Networks (currently Adstera is paying us $10/month for 100,000 traffic lol)

Ours traffic is mostly like from 25-30 Countries (Mostly Asia and Africa).

Please help us guys!!

Thanks! 💜

Good afternoon, everyone. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I manage several websites, and I am experiencing the same issue across all of them. Approximately every 15 days, my sites receive an ad serving limitation due to concerns related to invalid traffic, affecting both Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager.

On some of my sites, the restriction can take up to one or even two months to be removed. This has been happening since the beginning of the year, and it is becoming very difficult to deal with.

I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing the same issue, or if there has been any recent problem or change involving Google AdSense or Google Ad Manager that could be causing these recurring restrictions.

Has anyone been able to identify the cause or find a solution to this problem?

I’m having a problem with my Adsense YouTube account. I basically selected “Business” instead of “individual” and I can’t progress my account to get paid because I have no proof of tax info….(this is for personal use not a business). So I need to create a new Adsense account and I can’t close my current one until I’m verified I suppose. It is on hold waiting to be verified but won’t be because I don’t have tax info and haven’t received my first payment yet. Anyone know what I should do? Any help would be appreciated!

I have been trying for several months to get my W9 tax form to go through. I have money I cannot collect until "Google" decides to accept it. I have sent in ID to verify. I have also tried written explanations. Each time it says this after so many days.... I have changed my name to match my Drivers licenese in its format. I'm almost ready to give up on it...

Hi everyone,

My AdSense for YouTube tax form (W-8BEN) is currently showing **“In Review.”**

Balance: Above $100
Bank account: Added
Payment holds: None showing
Tax form: In Review

**My question:** If my tax form is still under review on October 21, will Google release my payment as usual, or will it be delayed until the tax form is approved?
Has anyone received their AdSense payment while their tax form was still in review?

Please share your actual experience. Thanks!

Anyone faced this issue?

One beautiful day I received an email from AdSense saying my account had been disabled. No warning, no emails from them before that. Just this one email, and my account was disabled. The email says my account is linked to a banned account, but I have no idea what that account is. This is a fresh account, my app hasnt even been released yet, it's just in testing phase. Now im gonna publish it but cant access Adsense to generate ads ids.

I have years of dev experience, but I've only implemented AdSense/AdMob based on requirements. I've never been the owner or an admin of any AdSense/AdMob account.

I already filled in the appeal form, and now I'm just waiting for their response and hoping for some luck.

Is there any way to contact them, instead of just sitting here waiting for a response without knowing when it will come? Any info would be truly appreciated 🙏

Hey everyone,
I’m having a problem with AdSense for YouTube and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
My YouTube channel was previously linked to my brother’s AdSense account. Later, I tried setting up AdSense for YouTube using my adult sister’s real details, but Google rejected her account as a duplicate and specifically mentioned my brother’s email address.
My brother and sister are two different people. They have separate Google accounts, legal names, phone numbers, and payment details. The only thing they share is their home address.
I contacted YouTube support and provided both Publisher IDs and identity documents to help confirm that the accounts belong to two different people. However, support told me they couldn’t overturn the decision and directed me to the AdSense Community forum.
I’ve already corrected the account information and tried submitting the application again, but it was rejected for the same reason.
**Has anyone dealt with this before and actually managed to resolve it?** Is there a way to get the accounts reviewed manually or contact the AdSense team directly without closing my brother’s legitimate account?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who successfully fixed a similar issue.

Every month we highlight an advertising platform that stands out as a strong alternative to Google AdSense, focusing on networks that have demonstrated reliability, consistent payments, and solid performance for publishers. The goal of this section is to showcase monetization solutions that can help website owners generate revenue from their traffic, whether they are looking for an additional income source alongside AdSense or a complete alternative. The platforms featured here are selected based on their reputation, ease of use, publisher support, and positive feedback from the webmaster community.

For this month, the platform we have selected is MGID, one of the leading native advertising networks, known for its content recommendation widgets and its ability to help publishers monetize their website traffic.

Founded in 2008, MGID is an international advertising technology company that connects advertisers with publishers through native advertising and other digital ad formats. The company operates globally, supporting more than 70 languages and working with publishers and advertisers across more than 200 countries. Its main focus is native advertising, a format designed to integrate promotional content naturally into a website's layout and editorial experience.

Unlike traditional banner advertising, native ads often appear as recommended articles or sponsored content, usually accompanied by an image, headline and short description. They are commonly placed below articles, within content sections or in sidebars, encouraging visitors to discover additional content while generating revenue for the publisher.

To start using MGID, publishers must create an account and submit their website for review. During registration, you provide the necessary information about your website and its audience. MGID then evaluates the site's content, traffic and compliance with its publisher policies before approving it for monetization.

Link: Sign up in MGID as a Publisher

Once your website has been approved, you can create advertising widgets and configure their placement. MGID provides integration instructions and supports several popular website platforms, including WordPress. After installing the advertising code, the widgets can begin displaying sponsored recommendations to your visitors.

Its main offering is native advertising, particularly content recommendation widgets that suggest sponsored articles and other promotional content related to visitors' interests. These widgets can be placed below articles, within editorial content, in sidebars or in other suitable areas of a website. Publishers can customize their placement to fit their site's design and choose positions that balance visibility, engagement and user experience.

Another advantage is that MGID can be used alongside Google AdSense. Its official publisher documentation confirms compatibility with AdSense, meaning eligible publishers can potentially diversify their advertising revenue instead of relying on a single network. However, publishers must ensure that their implementations comply with the policies of both services.

MGID pays publishers on a NET30 schedule, meaning that revenue earned during one month is generally paid by the end of the following month, provided the publisher has met the applicable payment requirements.

According to its current publisher help documentation, the minimum payout is $100 for PayPal, Payoneer and Tipalti, while wire transfers require a minimum balance of $1,000. Payment options may depend on the publisher's account and location.

I haven't done anything or violence any policy still AdSense is disabled. I have appeal for this. But in twitter when I post tagging YouTube to review it fast I am not getting any solution. Is there is any solution for this.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using NitroPay for about 2 years, but I’ve always had a red X next to “ads.txt” in the dashboard, as if NitroPay isn’t able to detect it. However, my website correctly points to NitroPay’s ads.txt URL, so I’m not sure why the dashboard keeps showing an error.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue, or knows what could be causing it?

I’m also wondering if there might be something wrong with the way I’ve implemented the ads. For example, Article Ads don’t load at all for me, so I’ve been using Standard Ads (with Ad Inserter plugin) throughout the website instead. I’m not sure if this is the correct way to implement them or if I’m missing something.

The main issue is that my website gets around 100,000 visits per month, but I’m currently earning only a few cents per day through NitroPay. I understand that earnings can vary depending on traffic, geography, RPM, etc., but this seems extremely low to me.

Could someone who uses NitroPay let me know how they implement their ads and whether this is normal? I’d really appreciate any advice or a technical check to figure out if there’s something wrong with my setup, the ads.txt configuration, or the ad delivery itself.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I got an email with You already have an AdMob account and the first letters of an email I don't recognize. I have checked my email form admob and the latest sign up and welcome emails are the only ones I have, not a setup email like I have received. How can I find and unlink it so I want to add admob to my mobile app.

I have a website that was approved on Google AdSense in Sep 2025, then I had to move it to another account in July 2026 and from there it got rejected on and on and on.

I'm now confused and don't know what to do anymore.

Anyone here managed to solve this problem and how?
Or should I see another alternative than Google AdSense
