Hello, I’m Sinh, the author behind SINHMMO.COM.
If you are struggling to get your site approved by Google AdSense, trust me—I know exactly how you feel.
When I first applied, I was rejected three times in a row for reasons that seemed small and avoidable. Each rejection email felt like a punch in the stomach. But instead of giving up, I learned from those mistakes, fixed them, and finally got approved on my fourth try.
In this article, I’ll share my real-life experience, the common mistakes that caused repeated rejections, and the exact steps I took to finally succeed. Follow these lessons, avoid my errors, and your chances of AdSense approval will increase dramatically.
Why My AdSense Applications Were Rejected
When I first started my blogging journey, I assumed AdSense approval was quick and easy. I wrote about 10 short posts, submitted my application, and waited for approval. Instead, I received an instant rejection email.
After three failures, I realized I had overlooked the fundamentals. Here are the three major reasons I kept getting rejected:
1. Duplicate and Low-Quality Content
For my first application, I made the classic beginner mistake: copying content. I translated articles from English blogs into Vietnamese, added a few sentences, and thought Google would not notice.
Of course, they did. Google AdSense strongly dislikes plagiarized, spun, or duplicate content, especially on a new website with no authority or traffic. To Google, my site looked like low-quality spam, and rejection was inevitable.
✅ Lesson learned: Write original, unique content. You can research and take inspiration, but your posts must be genuinely written in your own words.
2. Missing Essential Policy Pages
By my second attempt, I had rewritten my posts with unique content. But Google still rejected me. The issue this time? My site lacked mandatory legal and transparency pages, such as:
- Privacy Policy
- Contact Page
- About Page
AdSense requires your site to show transparency:
- Who owns this website?
- How can readers contact you?
- How do you handle user data?
Without these basic pages, Google assumes your site is incomplete and unreliable.
✅ Lesson learned: Always include at least Privacy Policy, About, and Contact before applying.
3. Fake or Low-Quality Traffic
On my third attempt, I became impatient. I wanted traffic quickly, so I purchased a cheap traffic service from Telegram that promised “5,000 visits in 24 hours.”
The result? Another rejection.
Google easily detects fake traffic, bots, and suspicious clicks. Low-quality traffic signals that your site isn’t trustworthy or genuinely useful to real users.
✅ Lesson learned: Never buy fake traffic. Even a small amount of organic traffic (from social media or search engines) is more valuable than thousands of fake hits.
What I Did Differently to Get Approved
After three painful failures, I realized I had to get serious. On my fourth attempt, I completely transformed my blog. This time, Google finally approved me.
Here’s what I changed:
✔ Wrote High-Quality, Original Articles
I deleted all copied posts and wrote 20 brand-new articles, each between 1,000–2,000 words. Every post was 100% unique, valuable, and helpful.
I also used tools like Copyscape and Grammarly to double-check for plagiarism and grammar issues.
✔ Added Mandatory Legal Pages
I built three essential pages before reapplying:
- About Me: A short introduction about myself and the mission of my blog.
- Contact Page: With a contact form and email address.
- Privacy Policy: A clear statement about cookies, data collection, and compliance with online privacy standards.
This gave my blog a professional, trustworthy appearance.
✔ Focused on Real Traffic
Instead of buying fake visits, I promoted my articles naturally:
- Shared posts on Facebook groups and communities.
- Posted links in niche Telegram and Discord groups.
- Optimized articles for long-tail keywords to get indexed by Google.
Within a few weeks, I was receiving 30–50 organic visitors per day. That was more than enough to show Google my site was genuine.
✔ Did a Technical Check Before Applying
Before sending my application again, I carefully reviewed my site’s technical setup:
- HTTPS secure certificate enabled.
- Robots.txt and sitemap.xml properly configured.
- Submitted site to Google Search Console for indexing.
- Fixed broken links and 404 errors.
- Clean theme with no spammy pop-ups or intrusive ads.
Once everything was clean and professional, I submitted my application again. Just three days later, I received the long-awaited email:
“Congratulations! Your site is now ready to show AdSense ads.”
It was one of the most rewarding moments of my blogging journey.
Extra Tips for Faster AdSense Approval
Based on my experience, here are some additional tips to improve your chances:
- Don’t rely on AI-generated content only. While AI can assist, publishing unedited AI text can trigger rejections. Always add human editing and unique insights.
- Aim for at least 20–30 original articles. Longer, in-depth posts are more likely to pass Google’s quality checks.
- Build traffic slowly and naturally. Share content on social platforms, forums, and through SEO.
- Keep your site safe and clean. Avoid cracked plugins, pirated themes, or malicious scripts.
- Patience is key. Sometimes it takes a few reapplications before approval.
Conclusion: Persistence Pays Off
Getting approved by Google AdSense is not easy, especially for new bloggers. I failed three times, but I never gave up. By focusing on original content, transparency, real traffic, and technical cleanliness, I finally succeeded.
If you’re struggling with repeated rejections, remember this:
- Be patient.
- Invest time in writing quality posts.
- Follow Google’s policies carefully.
Once you’re approved, your site can start generating consistent income through AdSense, just like mine.
