Getting rejected by Google AdSense is common. Most people assume it’s random. It’s not. In almost every case, the problem is clear — but website owners either don’t understand it or ignore it.
If AdSense rejected your site, this guide breaks down the real reasons and exactly how to fix them properly — not temporary tricks, but permanent solutions.
1. Understand Why Google AdSense Rejected You
Before fixing anything, log into your AdSense dashboard and check the rejection message. The most common reasons are:
Low-value content
Thin content
Policy violations
Copyright issues
Insufficient content
Poor navigation
Site under construction
No organic traffic
Most bloggers panic and reapply immediately without fixing the core issue. That’s a mistake. Reapplying without real improvement lowers your credibility.
2. Low-Value Content (The #1 Reason)
Google doesn’t approve websites that add no unique value.
What “Low Value” Actually Means:
Rewritten content that looks like thousands of other blogs
AI content with no original insight
Very short articles (300–500 words)
Content copied from YouTube videos
Generic “make money online” posts with no depth
How to Fix It:
Write at least 1,000–1,500 words per article.
Add personal analysis, real examples, and practical steps.
Avoid repeating what everyone else says.
Use structured formatting (H2, H3 headings).
Add FAQs at the end of articles.
Google wants expertise and effort — not shortcuts.
3. Thin Website (Not Enough Content)
If your website has 5–10 articles only, approval is unlikely.
Recommended Minimum Before Applying:
20–30 high-quality articles
At least 3 main categories
Clear internal linking
About page
Contact page
Privacy Policy page
Terms & Conditions
A serious website looks complete. A half-built site gets rejected.
4. Policy Violations
Read the official policies from Google AdSense. Most people never do.
Common violations include:
Adult content
Pirated downloads
Copyright images
Hate or violent content
Misleading claims
Gambling (without proper regulation)
Medical advice without authority
Even one violation can cause rejection.
Fix:
Remove risky content.
Replace copyrighted images with royalty-free ones.
Avoid exaggerated income claims.
5. Copyright Problems
Using images from Google search is dangerous.
Instead use:
Unsplash
Pexels
Canva stock
Your own screenshots
Never upload movie clips, cracked software, or premium downloads.
6. No Traffic or Fake Traffic
AdSense does not require massive traffic — but your site must show real user behavior.
If you:
Use bot traffic
Buy fake visitors
Have zero impressions in search engines
You increase rejection chances.
Focus on:
SEO optimization
Writing for specific long-tail keywords
Getting traffic from social media organically
Traffic doesn’t need to be 10,000 per month. Even 300–500 real visitors can be enough if your site is solid.
7. Poor Website Design
A messy theme can destroy approval chances.
Common mistakes:
Too many popups
Broken links
Slow loading speed
Dark unreadable background
Mobile-unfriendly layout
Use:
Clean theme
Fast hosting
Simple navigation menu
Clear categories
Your website should look trustworthy.
8. Domain Age Issues
Brand-new domains sometimes get rejected.
Safe approach:
Wait at least 30–45 days.
Publish consistently during that time.
Build some organic traffic before applying.
9. Language & Grammar Problems
If your English is very weak or content is poorly structured, rejection risk increases.
Use:
Grammar tools
Proper headings
Clear formatting
Simple readable language
Quality writing matters more than complicated vocabulary.
10. What To Do After Rejection (Step-by-Step Plan)
Here is a practical recovery strategy:
Step 1:
Stop reapplying immediately.
Step 2:
Audit your website honestly:
Remove weak articles.
Improve the best ones.
Delete duplicate topics.
Step 3:
Add:
10 more strong articles.
FAQ sections.
Better internal links.
Step 4:
Wait 2–3 weeks.
Step 5:
Reapply once — not multiple times.
If rejected again, wait and improve again. Persistence works — but only with improvement.
11. Should You Switch to Another Ad Network?
If AdSense keeps rejecting you, you can use alternatives:
Ezoic
Media.net
PropellerAds
However, understand this clearly:
If your site is low quality, these networks won’t perform well either. Fix quality first.
12. Hard Truth About AdSense Approval
If your content is generic and looks like thousands of blogs in the “make money online” niche, rejection is normal.
Google wants:
Authority
Depth
Clear value
Original thinking
Real usefulness
If you build that, approval becomes easier.
If you chase shortcuts, rejection continues.
Final Advice
AdSense rejection is not the end. It is a quality signal.
Instead of asking:
“Why did they reject me?”
