Adsense is not approving my application due to reasons stated. I am trying to fix them hopefully they will accept me in my next attempt. Can anyone please give me some advise
Hi - I have visited your site previously and advised you that some of your posts were too short. Three of your posts are literally just one sentence each. This is why Google states you have "thin content" with no value. You need to remove these posts unless you plan on adding to them before you re-apply.
Plus, you do have excessive advertising; one of your posts has 19 Amazon links in the space of 1200 words. Ideally, you should only have 1 affiliate link in every 500 words.
Thank you Diane, I worked on the contents since you advised me last time. Maybe I should pay even more effort on the contents and also close some product links there. Thanks again.
If the reason for rejection is the advertising you have to evaluate whether you would make more money from the advertising than from AdSense.
AdSense doesn't pay a lot unless you have a massive volume of traffic.
thank you, I will refine my contents and try Adsense again, but I will also look for alternate ad options. Thanks.
Hey their criteria is very strict. Hard to know without going over your site but they are hot on excessive advertising and reversioned content. Do they ring true or it is a mis judge on their part? Might be worth taking a day out and doing a site audit against criteria which is what I have seen other members do here. Sorry and good luck!
I was going to say go through your site post by post against google ad sense criteria but you have some brilliant advice in the replies here, so I would really just follow that.
AS the saying goes only chase one rabbit! Good luck in sorting.
You might want to also put your site in for feeback from the community. All the best, Phil
I haven’t visited your website but according to the violation it would indicate that your website contains a lot of copy and pasted content from other websites. Is this the case?
That's not the case, I write everything myself despite I admit that I do research online but still I use my own words. :-(
Since my website is about health and fitness, inevitably there are many similar contents on the internet already.
This happened to me and I don't have scraped content. In the end it turned out adsense was not a good fit for my type of site!
thank you Iris, I will try with Adsense again after refining the contents per the advice from folks here. Meanwhile, I will certainly look for alternative. Thanks.

I gotta say that your content looks fine and it seems that you have a good amount. AdSense can have a bad day to. May I suggest that you look up Alternatives to AdSense. Here's a website that you may find useful.

Hi
The All in One SEO also produces a site map for your search console. I faced the same problem and I deleted the Google XML. I later got a sitemap from the SEO and submitted it to search console. Worked well..
Just go into the SEO you should see where it says XML Sitemap. You can generate your sitemap from there.

I have made my Wednesday a productive one. I finished 4 tasks out of 6 today, not the best work done but there are some progress made.
- Purchased a Domain (
You should be on Amazon.com not Amazon Associates. when you are in Amazon.com pick your product and underneath the search bar on the left you will see 3 links. Text, Link and Text & Image. Pick the one you want and copy that code and paste into your website.
how thankful I am for your help. I got it now. but I am unable to open the link in a new page, is there a way to do that as I don't want readers being diverted to Amazon and lose my page. thanks.
Your site looks fine. Do you have any Ad-blockers installed by chance? If you do you might want to disable it. Another thing, do you plan on using a Text, Image or a Text & Image link?
Since you purchased your domain today, I have to ask. Have you applied to Amazon.com Associates. Once you have applied they will check your website for traffic and content. If you don't meet their standards they may reject you. You should have 5-6 posts done before you apply. Some say 10, but the quality of your content can make the difference. When I applied I think it took 36 hours but some have waited for 2 weeks for an answer. I guess I got a lenient judge.
Thanks for your advice. I applied as Amazon affiliate few days ago, I just updated the profile with my new domain. Perhaps they haven't updated on backend yet. I will check with Amazon to find out more. many thanks.
Hi - take a look at this video to check if you are adding the Amazon links correctly. Short Video On Adding Amazon Links To A Post
I just watched the video, but Amazon interface don't look quite the same now. I used the same method to insert product links to my posts, but it just link me to a blank error page rather than the product. Looks like the links are not correct. Thanks anyway.
You're on Amazon Associate webpage. You should go to Amazon.com and click on a product that you want to place on your website. Under the search bar on the left side you will see 3 links called Text, Link and Text&Link;. Click on the one you want and copy the code and paste that to your website.

Some posts of my website are being indexed by Google, but as I ran Jaaxy Site Rank it says unranked. How does this happen? What should be done to improve this please? I am s
There are many steps before an article starts ranking on Google. First of all, your website needs to be found by Google. This is called indexing and can take up to a couple of weeks. You will get an email when it happens. After that, each article also needs to be found individually by Google. I think the notification you got is for the post being indexed (the search engines are now aware that the page exists).
Ranking happens much later and depends on lots of different things. The article must be completely original and ideally at least 1000 words. The age of your website also plays a part and how many articles you have altogether. It can easily take six months before you really see any progress when you would have 40 to 50 articles.
Getting ranked on Google will take time! There are - literally - millions of individual pages on Google's database. To get ranked is usually a long, hard process. Google has about 200 algorithms to rank a post (from a content quality, content length, page speed, social signals, secured sites HTTPS vs. HTTP, quality backlinks to name a few).
https://backlinko.com/google-ranking-factors
As others on this platform will tell you, it can (and often does!) take months - sometimes years - to get to a point where you are ranked on the critical first page on Google, for your particular niche product/service.
I hope this helps,
Ferra
Hi Ferra, thank you for your comprehensive reply. The info are very useful, at least I get some knowledge how indexing and ranking operates. At this point, I think I should focus on the contents on my website rather than hoping to see my website being ranked. many thanks indeed.
Jaxxy only tells you if you are ranked on page 1.
If you are not it says unranked. So they will be
Ranked just not on page 1.
That's right, Lisa. With Jaaxy Lite that we have as part of our premium membership, we can only see what sites are ranked on page 1. If we upgrade our Jaaxy to Enterprise version like the Kyle is using in the video training, it costs $99/month. With that Jaaxy version, it will show sites that are ranked up to page 20.
Hi Lisa, Good to know that, yes could be the case that my website isn't on Page 1, it means I will have to work much harder to reach there. thank you.
It doesn't necessarily mean you will be in the first page of google. It means your articles are in there data and can be displayed in due time
You’ve got great answers already.
Regarding your use of siterubix, I’m no expert as to how Google ranks them.
However, I would suggest you register your own domain sooner and move your site there. The sooner you do that, the better for your domain to “mature” and gain trust in search engines.
This is just my personal opinion. I feel comfortable running my business on the domain I own.
Best wishes.
Jane
Hello Jane, thank you for your great comments and advice. I agree I should own my domain the sooner the better. Thank you.
Hi - indexing and ranking are 2 different things. Indexing simply means that Google has found your posts and added them to its search engine.
Ranking is when Google decides how useful your posts are and which page it is going to put them on. This can take several months.
Your posts are quite short at between 500 and 800 words, and some of them are only 1 sentence. You need to aim for longer content to show Google that you are an authority on your subject.
Hi Dianne, thank you for your comments on my posts, I will work on them to make longer quality contents. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
A lot of us new members have the same doubt, I think - "Did I choose the right niche?" If this is your case, I suggest sticking with your initial choice...unless it's something you definitely can't see yourself writing about over the long-term.
Level 1 of the training does teach you how to easily transfer the contents of a website to a new domain name if this is something you need to do.
I hope this helps.
All the best!
The Name of your site should be the same as your URL if at all possible. Remember relevancy all across the board as or close as you can get. I'm only here 4 months and still learning so I may not be 100% correct.
Rick
You have done all the work to get indexed and now you want to change. I do not recommend this. If you are alredy indexe just go on doing the good work.
Kind Regards
Wynand
Hi - you can't change your domain name. If you are using a free website, you would have to delete it, and if you have purchased your domain, you would have to buy another one.
thank you @DianeScorpio, in this case I will keep it under the day I purchase a domain. thanks again.
Have you gotten a domain name already? If not I think you still have the option of changing it but don't keep changing your web name to avoid inconstitencies
good point, I am using Siterubix, don't have a purchased domain yet. I might change it by the time I purchase a domain to save the trouble and now don't want to risk missing the G index. thank you very much.
