Why Google Rejected My Blog for AdSense – And How I’m Fixing It

on

 

Introduction:

If you’ve ever applied for Google AdSense and received the dreaded rejection email, you’re not alone. I was recently rejected for “low-value content,” and it stung. But instead of giving up, I chose to learn, improve, and try again.

In this post, I’ll break down why Google may have rejected my blog—and the exact steps I’m taking to get approved next time.

❌ 1. My Blog Lacked Enough Valuable Content

At the time of applying, I had a few old posts and some basic pages (About, Contact, Privacy). That’s not enough. Google wants to see helpful, original, and well-written content that serves real purpose to readers.

šŸ’” Fix: I’m publishing 5–10 original, in-depth articles in specific categories that I’m passionate about.

šŸ“„ 2. My Pages Weren’t Optimized

Google checks if your blog has key pages like:

  • About Me

  • Contact Me

  • Privacy Policy

  • Disclaimer

Mine existed, but they had little detail. That’s a red flag for AdSense.

šŸ’” Fix: I rewrote those pages with clear, detailed content and added SEO meta tags.

šŸŽØ 3. My Blog Theme Affected User Experience

I was using an old Classic theme that didn’t support mobile or layout customization well. That gave a poor user experience (UX), which is a major issue for Google.

šŸ’” Fix: I switched to the Emporio Porcelain theme, which is responsive, clean, and easier to customize.

šŸ” 4. I Ignored SEO and Metadata

My posts didn’t have titles, descriptions, or proper headings. Google’s bots couldn’t understand what my blog was about.

šŸ’” Fix: I now use clear headings, write unique meta descriptions, and structure my content properly.

✅ 5. I Had No Real Traffic or Engagement

My blog was mostly idle for years. Google looks for signs of activity: page views, time on site, comments, and shares.

šŸ’” Fix: I started sharing my blog on social media and encouraging readers to interact with posts.

šŸš€ Conclusion: Turning Rejection Into Motivation

Getting rejected was disappointing—but it was also a wake-up call. Google doesn’t want random content—they want real, helpful blogs that add value. And now, I’m building just that.

If you’ve been rejected too, don’t quit. Learn, improve, and try again. Let’s get that approval together.
