Hello,

Have you ever experienced rejection?

I have encountered many rejections including being rejected by Google Adsense. 

So, here is my story on why my blog is hard to be approved by Google Adsense even though I blog fully in English. But, gratefully, I have been approved and can start showing ads on my blog now.

Let's get down to business,

1. I'm impatient

First of all, I think this is the biggest problem. This is the cause of my 4th rejection. I applied in February 2017 but then until the end of March 2017, I still didn't get any email.

Give them sometimes.

One of the instructions is your website must be well developed and active. If you make any change after the first survey means your website is still developing which is not stable yet. So, decide first whether you already satisfied with your layout or not. Change it before apply.

3. Too many pictures

I read this from others blogs. They said if my blog consists of too many pictures, it will likely be rejected. Google might think that your blog is not professional enough to fulfill their requirements.

My first time applying for Adsense was when my blog only has not more than 10 posts. But some bloggers said they were approved even though they only have 4 to 5 articles, so this is still vague. And one more, please write at least 300+ words for each post. This might help.

5. Young Blog

Make sure that your blog is at least 6 months old. This is one of the crucial requirements by google. This also determines your blog maturity.

6. Poor Directory

Provide a clear directory for your blog. This will be very useful for the readers and easier for the google to do the survey. Your blog should at least has:
