Yori White

Recently I just received an email that I was rejected by Google for my Adsense upgrade request. For those who don't understand what it is, let me explain. Remember what I shared about monetizing from your blog in my previous post? Basically, what I'm trying to do here is to put some advertisement in my blog through Google Adsense. Google usually won't accept advertisements in a non-hosted site. However, yoriwhite.com is a hosted site.

So one of the main reasons for rejection given by Google are:
Firstly, my site does not comply with the Google Adsense program policies or following their webmaster quality guidelines. They believe currently my site does not provide rich and meaningful content or receiving organic traffic (maybe my site is too young as it was born on 20th September 2016. Not even a month old?)

Having said that, Google did provide me some guidance as follows:

• As a blogger or rather publisher, you must give unique and relevant content that gives visitors a reason to come to your website.
• Do not place ads on auto-generated pages or pages with no content.
• A website needs to offer users a good user experience through a clear navigation and be well-organised. Whatever information a user needs on your website, they should be able to find it easily.

However, going through my website objectively this time round. I do admit that I had placed the ad code given to me on some of the pages with not much content (agreed and will correct my mistake). I don't quite agree that I do not provide users unique or relevant content because all the contents in my blog are self-experienced and I shared what I went through from a person with zero IT background to own a hosted website (Disagreed, so all the contents will remain as it was). Lastly, with regards to a website with clear navigation and be well-organised I might need to gather some feedbacks or research to improve on my website.
