Why was my site rejected for Google Adsense?
- by hyuun jjang
I have a 3 year old blog and its got around 16 articles/tutorials about some programming problems and solutions. It's getting pretty much a lot of view lately so I decided to apply for a google adsense account. When I first applied via blogger, google replied with the following statement:
Page Type: In order to participate in Google AdSense, publishers' websites
and application information must satisfy the following guidelines:
- Your website must be your own top-level domain (www.example.com and not
www.example.com/mysite).
- You must provide accurate personal information with your application
that matches the information on your domain registration.
- Your website must contain substantial, original content...
So, as I understood it, I decide to buy a domain and point my blogger blog to that new naked domain.
and here is the newly bought domain where all the contents of my old blog resides.
http://icodeya.com/
I reapplied, hoping that this time, I will make the cut. But then I got this reply
Further detail:
Unable to review your site: While reviewing http://www.icodeya.com/, we
found that your site was down or unavailable.
We suggest you check whether there was a typo in the URL submitted. When
your site is operational, you can resubmit your application with the
correct site by following the directions below.
I'm a bit disappointed. Maybe I did something wrong with DNS configuration or something. But you can clearly see that my site is fully functional. I heard that google sends robots to crawl on to the site etc. It's just sad because I invested on a domain name, and now I can't even find ways to earn from it. Any tips?
