Popular Adsense Rejection Messages And Solutions

<div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr"><span style="color: red;">Adsense! Adsense!! Adsense!!! Adsense!!!! </span></div><div dir="ltr">Adsense is a popular advertising network known to be reliable. But due to strictness in policies and high standard of conditions, most APPLICANTS who tend to apply for get their APPLICATION rejected for one condition/reason or the other. </div><div dir="ltr">Adsense is fun, adsense is cool, adsense is the best of all AD network. But do you you know adsense could be disappointing. Most especially when you think "WOW, AM GONNA GET APPROVED" only for you to read your mailbox  and get the shocker that your APPLICATION was rejected. Its really frustrating. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ctmvv3GmbWOWfXQR7fTY0Dk-8ltLp3WPU2esxK0sgWuINNwnw8H5XArF6A7n-pRBC2APk1WTyg78kG0fMBjKMibUKDhOOPvschCMoaGNF44CfJHlhGoi88akL1hlX8CmECEzuyaUoUwb/s1600/PicsArt_10-08-08.46.53.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Ctmvv3GmbWOWfXQR7fTY0Dk-8ltLp3WPU2esxK0sgWuINNwnw8H5XArF6A7n-pRBC2APk1WTyg78kG0fMBjKMibUKDhOOPvschCMoaGNF44CfJHlhGoi88akL1hlX8CmECEzuyaUoUwb/s320/PicsArt_10-08-08.46.53.gif" width="320"></a></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">If you visit some blogs about solutions to adsense disapproval, you will notice you keep getting similar messages virtually from all the websites. Some of these solutions ranges from;</div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Quality and unique contents. </li><li>Avoid copying from other links. </li><li>Website/Domain must be 6month old. </li><li>Illegal use of images. </li><li>Sufficient traffic. </li><li>Reapplication intervals. </li><li>Avoidance of paid traffic source. </li><li>40 - 50 minimum posts. </li><li>Use of custom domain name. </li><li>Nice blog template. </li><li>Clear web page navigation. </li><li>Important pages such as "ABOUT US", "CONTACT US", PRIVACY POLICY", "TERM AND CONDITIONS" and  "DISCLAIMER" must be present. </li><li>ETC.</li></ul><br><div dir="ltr">But do you know not all the listed criteria above guarantees approval of your account? </div><div dir="ltr">There is no specific reason as to what makes your adsense been approved or been rejected. But rejected messages will give you a guide on those areas you are missing out. </div><div dir="ltr">I myself is still finding it difficult as to why adsense will not approve my application. I have submitted countless of applications but all to no avail. </div><div dir="ltr">Well, the good news i can deduce from all the rejection emails i receive from Adsense is that, i now know some fixes as to why adsense applications are been rejected. <br>When i first started this blog, on first submission of adsense application for approval, i was rejected. I never gave up. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Let me share a short experience of mine with you all. <br><span style="color: red;">When i first applied for google Adsense, i only had 10 posts copied from other websites. But did you know that when i applied for Adsense, the only disapproval message i got was "INSUFFICIENT CONTENT" mail. <br>I then decided to delete all posts i copied from 3rd party blogs and wrote my own unique articles. <br>But on subsequent applications after i started writing my own posts without copying from other blogs and links, i started receiving disapproval messages such as "DIFFICULT NAVIGATION", "COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS" etc. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color: red;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr">Let me pick one of the aforementioned point listed above and discuss. </div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><u><span style="color: red;">Application Interval Before Reapplying For Adsense. </span></u></h4>Most bloggers will discourage incessant application resubmission when adsense gets disapproved. To me, i think what has an advantage equally does have a disadvantage. <br>Atimes when we get disapproved, we start to improve in those areas as stated by Adsense and unknowingly to us, we complicate issues. We begin to add unnecessary images which could be protected by copyright, implementing javascript code to aid smooth navigation. Some of these modifications and improvements now tend to incur more DISAPPOINTING MESSAGES spanning across Copyrighted Materials to Difficult Navigation. <br>But before resubmission, ensure you improve on the areas stated by adsense, note down every of your modifications after previous rejection so that you will actually know whether you are making progress or not. Then you reapply. <br><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Now, use my experience as a case study. When i copied other articles, i only got INSUFFICIENT CONTENT, but when i decided to be unique, i started receiving frustrating and disappointing emails from adsense. </div><div dir="ltr">I will be listing the various solutions to reducing the numbers of DISAPPOINTING MESSAGES we receive from adsense based on my own preference and experience. <br>As earlier stated, there is no specific technique as to adsense approval, but this article should only be that moon which will luminate your path to approval. </div><div dir="ltr"></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">Disappointing And Frustrating Adsense Disapproval Emails And Solutions. </span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><u><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">A) Difficult Site Navigation. </span></u></h3>Do you know that when we receive some of this funny frustrating message from adsense, we actually know where we got it all wrong? Yes we do. <br>But ignorance make us neglect them. Prior to when i got this email from Adsense with header "Difficult Navigation System", I knew I was the cause and immediately, i made amends. <br>Some of my articles before reapplication contained broken links which i was vividly aware of. Some of the embedded links in that article of mine which i posted were invalid and 404 redirected. <br>Also, it was during that period that i parked a custom domain name to my blogspot thereby redirecting the original blogspot web link i used for adsense application to the custom domain name. <br>How did i overcome this? <br>The simple things I did were;<br>1) I unparked/remove the custom domain from the 3rd party domains in my blogspot dashboard. <br>2) I used "online broken link scanner" to  Scan every broken links of my Blog and fixed them with the correct error free links. <br><div dir="ltr">Then i reapplied. After reapplication, i never received "DIFFICULT NAVIGATION SYSTEM" error message from adsense. Just those two things i did above fixed the Rejection mail. </div><div dir="ltr"><b><span style="color: red;">Solution</span></b><br>1) Make sure the URL you used for adsense application is not Redirecting to any other link. (ie Assuming the adsense URL you submitted is http://247forumtech.blogspot.com, ensure that whenever you visit that link, it doesn't redirect to http://247forumtech.com because if it does, the Adsense Crawler Bot with sign your application with too many redirection and broken links). <br>2) Ensure there are no broken links in your articles or pages. Search "online broken link scanner" on Google to help scan your blog or websites and report every broken URLs which contains invalid links or 404 redirections. </div><div dir="ltr"></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><u>B) Insufficient Content </u></span></h3>This message is the most common of emails sent by Adsense when your application gets disapproved. <br>Reasons for this could be as a result of;<br><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Short articles which do not contain much words. </li><li>Post contain similar characters with other articles on another website or blog. </li><li>Insufficient minimum posts. </li><li>Unstructured write-ups. </li><li>Posts containing too many images and videos. The images in your articles are more than the text characters.</li></ul><br><div dir="ltr"><b><span style="color: red;">Solutions</span></b><br>1) Be unique in all ramifications. Laziness kills. Originality is the key here. <br>Don't mind if same article has been posted online. Ensure your article is distinct. <br>2) Avoid summary writing (short article). <br>3) Whenever you want to publish an article, never go straight to the main purpose of the write up. Write a brief introduction of what your TOPIC entails. <br>For example, if you're about to write on a topic as thus "ADSENSE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA". Don't make the mistake of listing the eligibility criteria for adsense approval. <br>Try to discuss briefly what ADSENSE is all about. Other advertising networks similar to adsense. Brief pros and cons of Adsense. <br>If possible, share a similar experience of yourself as example. <br>Afterwards, then head straight to the purpose of your article. <br>4) Avoid vulgar words in articles. <br>5) Try to proofread your articles before publishing to avoid grammatical errors and blunders. <br>6) Have a minimum of about 40 - 50 unique posts. <br>7) Try to link related topics to the article you published. <br>For example:<br>You decide write a topic about "HOW TO PARK DOMAIN NAME TO ANY WEB HOST". <br>If you to look inwardly and deeply into this topic, you will notice its too broad which ought to contain the following headings;<br>Types of Hosting Provider. <br>Example of web hosting providers. <br>Methods by which domain names can be parked (eg CNAME, NS RECORD, A NAME etc). <br>Etc. </div><div dir="ltr">By the time you must have discussed all this in your article, the post must have been lengthy And most atimes, readers get bored when an article is too lengthy. </div><div dir="ltr">So, try to redirect your reader to "LEARN MORE ABOUT A PREREQUISITE OF THE TOPIC" before continuing. <br>By doing this, you will broaden the scope of your readers and get them acquainted to more topics. Also you are increasing the number of posts & articles on your blog. </div></div></div>

Stop Blogger from Redirecting Blogspot to Country Specific URLs

<div><p dir="ltr"><b>Stop Blogger from Redirecting Blogspot to Country Specific URLs</b><br></p><p dir="ltr">Let's say you're from Nigeria and have set up - just for examples sake - a blog called http://www.247forumtech.blogspot.com where you share your thoughts and insights on Nigerian literature. </p><p dir="ltr">Now, with Google's country specific redirection in Blogger, you might be redirected to http://www.247forumtech.blogspot.com.ng when you try to access your site. The thing is, you perfectly liked the .com and didn't sign up for the .fr but you find yourself being directed there. Sure, your blog works and all but you also wonder why.<br></p><p dir="ltr">Why Did Google Do This?<br>Google has always supported the expression of views, and they stated as much on their official blog. In the post Free expression and controversial content on the web, which was published in 2007, it said "Our world would be a very boring place if we all agreed all the time. So, while people may strongly disagree with what someone says, or think that a particular newspaper is total nonsense, we recognize that each of us have the right to an opinion."</p><p dir="ltr">The post continued, "We also know that letting people express their views freely has real practical benefits. Allowing individuals to voice unpopular, inconvenient or controversial opinions is important. Not only might they be right (think Galileo) but debating difficult issues in the open often helps people come to better decisions".<br><br></p><p dir="ltr">While the company is clearly on the side of people freely expressing their opinions, they also believe that a line has to be drawn somewhere. Then again, for a company providing services in over 100 countries around the world and each with their own national laws and cultural norms, it's surely difficult for a company like Google to decide where to draw boundaries.</p><p dir="ltr">However, there are cases like child pornography which is illegal in just about any country where decisions are clear cut.</p><p dir="ltr">For a company whose products are "specifically designed to help people create and communicate, to find and share information and opinions across the world", how does Google deal with this challenge?</p><p dir="ltr">One of the most challenging areas where Google deals with issues regarding free expression is in Blogger, their content generation platform. Since Google can't check what you've written before you publish, they rely on active vocal users who are diligent in alerting the proper if a post borders on offensive. Then again, that in itself is a tricky issue as well because what one person may view as offensive, another might not.</p><p dir="ltr">In other words, it's always a work in progress with Google.</p><p dir="ltr">Fast forward to January 9, 2012 when Google announced it was making changes to the Blogger platform with regards to censorship. That said change would make use of a country specific domain to the Blogger platform. Doing this would allow Google to censor and remove content specific to a certain country.</p><p dir="ltr">In their announcement, Google said: "Migrating to localized domains will allow us to continue promoting free expression and responsible publishing while providing greater flexibility in complying with valid removal requests pursuant to local law. By utilizing ccTLDs, content removals can be managed on a per country basis, which will limit their impact to the smallest number of readers."</p><p dir="ltr">The move by Google come after pressure from countries like India that are working on hunting down content on social media sites which are considered inappropriate. Also, the move followed closely on the heels of Twitter's new censorship policies.</p><p dir="ltr">Since Google aims to "help people create and communicate, to find and share information and opinions across the world", it would be strange to take down a post that was just banned in a certain area. In essence, with country specific redirection, a piece of content can still be accessible by the world save for the country where it was blocked.</p><p dir="ltr">How Would Country Specific Redirection Affect Your Site?</p><p dir="ltr">Of course, not all site owners greeted the country specific URL change with open arms. A few of the issues brought up in regard to the change include:</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">1. A reduction in social stats. These are your Facebook Likes, Google +1s and so on from your blog posts. They might be reduced because the URLs from one blog post will be different depending on where your readers are from.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">2. A problem with external commenting platforms. If you use Disqus - for example - for your comments section, then you might run into trouble because blog URLs will be different even if essentially the page being accessed is just the same.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">3. A slight problem with AdSense earnings. Some users have complained about seeing a dip in their earnings when their pages are served through country specific domains.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">4. An issue with link juice. You want external sites to link to you and not your country specific URL. But the issue here is that you can't control how others link to your page. They might use the top level domain or they might use the country code top-level domain.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">Stop Blogger from Redirecting to Country-Specific Domains</p><p dir="ltr">If country specific redirection affects important factors such as traffic and link juice, and you need those in order to rank well, what can you possibly do? Well, thankfully, Google has provided a way to get around this. All you have to do is add an ncr/ to the end of the URL - ncr here stands for No Country Redirect. So basically, it goes frenchlitgeek.blogspot.com/ncr/.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">That solution is great but do you want your users to always have to do that every time they visit your blog? To eliminate that hassle, and for the good of your site statistics, a simple redirection script will do the trick. Here's how:</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">1. Log in to your Blogger account.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">2. Click on Template → Edit HTML.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">3. Find the <head> tag in the HTML editor by opening the search box using Ctrl + F.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">4. Copy the redirection code seen below after the <head> tag.</p><p dir="ltr"><script type="text/javascript"></p><p dir="ltr">var blog = document.location.href.toLowerCase();</p><p dir="ltr">if (!blog.match(/\.blogspot\.com/)) {</p><p dir="ltr">blog = blog.replace(/\.blogspot\..*?\//, ".blogspot.com/ncr/");</p><p dir="ltr">window.location.replace(blog);</p><p dir="ltr">}</p><p dir="ltr"></script></p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">5. Click on "Save Template".</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">And that's it! Whenever someone accesses your Blogger, they'll be taken to the top level domain rather than the country specific one.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwFnuh8hw1s4ZkJ-by4BDz7dQ7ryp1aFavyGGYZzzDqmdH7T6DwEBoYwIvN-ncf4_MScpEIDzZpJj7j3e4QGTVaZuTmj95BDW4p1UpNPEeXnppOcWcwsxnB82-ANpsX0zO1sTgkonDWxn/s1600/20160911165814.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwFnuh8hw1s4ZkJ-by4BDz7dQ7ryp1aFavyGGYZzzDqmdH7T6DwEBoYwIvN-ncf4_MScpEIDzZpJj7j3e4QGTVaZuTmj95BDW4p1UpNPEeXnppOcWcwsxnB82-ANpsX0zO1sTgkonDWxn/s640/20160911165814.png"> </a> </div></div>
