Struggling With AdSense Approval? Here’s What You Need to Know



Struggling With AdSense Approval? Here’s What You Need to Know

Getting Google AdSense approval is one of the biggest dreams for new bloggers. It feels like the first milestone in online earnings. But for many, the journey is frustrating — they apply again and again, only to get rejected. If you are facing the same problem, don’t worry. In this blog, I’ll share the real reasons why AdSense rejects websites and a step-by-step roadmap to finally get approval.


Why AdSense Rejects Most Blogs

Before blaming Google, it’s important to understand their perspective. AdSense is not just giving you a way to earn money, it is also protecting advertisers who are spending money on ads. If your site doesn’t look trustworthy, professional, or useful to readers, Google will hold back.

Here are the most common reasons why sites get rejected:

  1. Low or Thin Content

    • Short articles (under 600–800 words) look “unfinished.”
    • If posts are too generic like “How to make money online” with no real details, AdSense marks them as low value.
    • Example: A post with only 5 tips in 200 words won’t help the reader much.
  2. Unclear Niche

    • Blogs that cover too many unrelated topics (health, tech, travel, motivation, money, etc.) don’t build authority.
    • Adsense prefers a focused blog — for example, a blog fully about “Digital Marketing” or “Personal Finance.”
  3. Low or No Organic Traffic

    • Even if you have posts, if they don’t rank on Google and bring visitors, it signals that your content is not strong enough.
    • Adsense doesn’t like to approve sites with almost zero real readers.
  4. Missing Important Pages

    • Mandatory pages like About Us, Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and Contact Us are required for transparency.
    • If even one of these is missing, your site looks incomplete.
  5. Unprofessional Design

    • A site that looks like a default Blogger template with no clear navigation gives a bad impression.
    • Google checks for user experience. Slow loading or messy designs often lead to rejection.
  6. Copyright Issues

    • Copied articles or images taken from other sites without credit can get your application rejected immediately.

Step-by-Step Roadmap to Get AdSense Approval



If you have been rejected many times, don’t panic. Follow this plan step by step, and your chances of approval will improve greatly.

1. Pick a Focused Niche

Ask yourself: What is my blog about?
Instead of writing about 10 different things, choose one main theme. For example:

  • Blogging + Online Earning
  • Productivity + Motivation
  • Tech Reviews + Digital Tools

A focused niche helps both readers and advertisers understand your site better.


2. Publish High-Quality Content

Content is king — and AdSense knows this.

  • Write 15–20 articles with 1,000–2,000+ words each.
  • Use H2 and H3 headings to make posts scannable.
  • Add examples, screenshots, images, FAQs to make your content unique.
  • Avoid copying or rewriting from other websites.

πŸ‘‰ Example: Instead of writing “Top 5 Blogging Tips” in 300 words, write a complete guide:

  • Step 1: Choosing a niche
  • Step 2: Setting up a blog
  • Step 3: Writing SEO-friendly content
  • Step 4: Promoting your blog
  • Step 5: Monetization strategies
    Each step explained in 200–300 words = a 1500-word article.

3. Add Mandatory Pages

These pages show professionalism and transparency:

  • About Us → Share your story, what your blog offers, and why readers should trust you.
  • Privacy Policy → Mandatory for AdSense. Can be generated online but edit in your own words.
  • Terms & Conditions → Shows you are serious about your site.
  • Contact Us → Very important. Add a contact form or at least an email address where readers can reach you.

Make sure these pages are clearly visible in your header or footer menu.


4. Improve SEO and Traffic

AdSense looks at traffic too. If nobody visits your site, ads won’t be useful.

  • Do keyword research using tools like Ubersuggest or Google Keyword Planner.
  • Target low-competition keywords so your posts rank faster.
  • Share your articles on social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, Pinterest, LinkedIn).
  • Try writing posts that answer common questions people search for.

πŸ‘‰ Even 500–1000 organic visitors per month can improve your approval chances.


5. Be Patient and Apply Again

Don’t rush. Many bloggers keep applying every week, which doesn’t help.

  • Wait at least 3–4 weeks before reapplying.
  • During this time, publish 5–10 new quality posts.
  • Check your design — is it mobile-friendly and easy to navigate?
  • Use a clean theme with simple menus and fast loading speed.

Extra Tips to Boost Approval Chances

  • Use only royalty-free images (Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay) or create your own graphics.
  • Avoid placing affiliate links or too many pop-ups before getting AdSense.
  • Write blog posts that solve problems (how-to guides, tutorials, tips).
  • Keep your site active — update old posts, fix broken links, and maintain a professional look.

Final Thoughts

If you’re frustrated with multiple AdSense rejections, remember: you’re not alone. Many successful bloggers got rejected five or even ten times before approval. The key is to keep improving your blog instead of rushing.

Focus on creating valuable content, building traffic, and presenting your site as professional and trustworthy. Once approved, you’ll not only earn from AdSense but can also explore:

  • Affiliate Marketing (Amazon, Flipkart, software tools)
  • Sponsored Posts from companies in your niche
  • Digital Products like eBooks or online courses

πŸ‘‰ The journey may feel slow, but it’s worth it. Stay patient, keep publishing, and your approval will come.
