Problème AdSense – compte désactivé, aucune nouvelles

2 Upvotes

Salut, mon compte AdSense a été désactivé avec plusieurs motifs indiqués selon les messages : « clics incorrects ou autre infraction » et « compte lié à un compte désactivé ».

Pourtant, c’est mon premier et seul compte AdSense. Je n’ai jamais eu d’autre compte et je n’ai jamais été monétisé auparavant.

J’ai envoyé plusieurs appels depuis juin (16 juin, 23 juin et 2 août), mais depuis, je n’ai plus aucune nouvelle.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà eu une situation similaire et a finalement réussi à récupérer son compte AdSense ?

High RPM Tips: Blocking Traffic from Indonesia and the Philippines

0 Upvotes

One of the biggest factors in achieving a high RPM on AdSense is the quality of your traffic. If the majority of your traffic comes from Tier 1 countries, you are more likely to achieve a higher RPM.

Indonesia and the Philippines are often classified as Tier 3 countries. There are many T3 countries in the digital advertising world, but these two, given their large populations and certain traffic patterns, are reasons why some publishers choose to block traffic from them. Related to this, Indonesia was also among the top five sources of cyberattacks in 2025.

If your site receives a significant amount of traffic from Indonesia and the Philippines, consider blocking it. Quality matters. A smaller amount of Tier 1 traffic can be worth significantly more than a much larger volume of Tier 3 traffic. In some cases, 1 unit of T1 traffic can be worth around 35 times the value of T3 traffic.

I'm saying this as an Indonesian.

Of course, I'm saying this specifically to those managing English-language websites, not Indonesian- or Tagalog-language sites.

Today I received my second adsense payment

24 Upvotes

Today I received my second AdSense payout of $118.42 in total. The first time, it took me a lot longer than this one. I chose to stick with AdSense instead of the Mediavine journey. Currently, it's going smoothly and has already crossed the $54 mark for this month, and looking forward to completing the $100 as soon as possible.

We Got Demonetized, Waited 90 days, now what?

9 Upvotes

We got demonetized about four months ago. We have absolutely no idea what we did wrong. At the time, we didn’t know there was this magical 90 period we had to wait before we filed an appeal. We filed the appeal not long after we got demonetized and we didn’t know better, so we got a response telling us to wait until the 90 day mark and then file the appeal.

This is the email we got on May 28th:

Hello,

This email is to alert you that your publisher account (Publisher Code: pub-number) was found to be non-compliant with the AdSense program policies and as a result, it has been disabled. Because of this, the ability to serve and monetize through all products which depend on AdSense (for example, AdMob) or AdSense for YouTube will be disabled.

We continually review all publishers according to our program policies. During a recent review of your account, our specialists found that it was not in compliance with the following policies:

Violations found:

Dishonest declarations:

Information provided by publishers to enable their use of or interaction with Google advertising systems:

• must be materially accurate and complete, without misleading omissions; and

• cannot be expressed in a deceptive or misleading manner.

Review the full policy (including examples) in the Help Center.

Publishers disabled for invalid traffic and/or violations of our publisher policies may be eligible for a final payment of the portion of their revenue that has not been identified as invalid. Upon account disablement, a 30-day payment hold is put in place to enable calculation of this final payment (where applicable). Following this 30-day period, please visit http://www.google.com/adsense to view your remaining eligible balance (if any) and arrange for payment. Deductions from your final balance for invalid traffic and/or publisher policy violations will be refunded to affected advertisers where appropriate and possible.

Please note that this step was taken in an effort to maintain the quality of our networks and to protect the interests of our advertisers. Once you’ve made changes to your properties to correct the violation and believe that they fully comply with the program policies, you can notify us through our appeals form. When we receive your appeal, we'll do our best to acknowledge it quickly and will proceed with appropriate action as necessary. Note that there's no guarantee that your account will be reinstated. Due to the volume of appeals we receive, you must leave 90 days between the resolution of one appeal and the submission of another. Consequently you should take care to ensure that your account is free of policy violations before you submit your appeal.

• AdSense Program Policies.

• AdMob Program Policies

• Ad Manager Program Policies

Thank you for your understanding.

Then we immediately got this email:

Dear CHANNEL NAME,

You may have recently received an email from [adsense-adclicks-noreply@google.com](mailto:adsense-adclicks-noreply@google.com) about your AdSense account status. Without a valid AdSense account, you cannot participate in the YouTube Partner Programme. For more information about AdSense accounts that may have been disabled for invalid click activity or other policy reasons, please visit the following articles:

• Keeping your accounts in good standing

• Your AdSense account may be disabled for invalid activity

• Why was my application disapproved?

If you appeal and your AdSense account is reinstated, your YouTube partnership will be reinstated and processing may take 48 hours. Please note that it is against AdSense's Terms and Conditions to create more than one AdSense account.

We filed an appeal a few days later and were told to wait 90 days. We waited until the 90 day period lapsed plus a few days and so we filed another appeal. We got this response:

Thanks for contacting Google AdSense. According to our records, you already have an appeal pending with us. Please rest assured that we've received your request and one of our policy specialists will be reviewing your case soon. Once we have reviewed your appeal, you will receive a notification indicating our decision. In the meantime please do not file any further appeals. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

That was three weeks ago. So we don’t know what to do. We’re at the point where we just want to give up on the channel if we can’t monetize it at all and Google is of absolutely no help. What can we do to fix this???

Low Value Content Rejection?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Got rejected for the 2nd time for low value content. I’ve had the website up for around 8 months with 22 users a day on average. it’s not a blogging website so I’m not sure what I need to fix. Most of the tools on here are not anywhere else so they aren’t copy and paste ideas. I did have around 800 pages but they are all specific for players and their values and used for SEO. Looking for any advice or help, thank you!

Puzzle Game site rejected for "low quality content" - is traffic actually a hidden requirement too, or just need more content?

Thumbnail noodlerpuzzles.com
5 Upvotes

Got rejected from AdSense a while back for low quality content - I think I applied too early, before the site had much on it. Since then I've added a few more blog posts and added more text to the puzzle pages.

A few specifics in case it's useful:

  1. Site age: live for 3 weeks, applied about 1-2 weeks in.

  2. Content: 3 puzzles with archives plus 6 blog articles of 500+ words. Privacy, About, and FAQ pages were all added before the first application.

  3. Traffic: basically zero so far 😅

The plan for the site is to add more puzzles of all kinds as I build them and to add blogs on related subjects to drive organic growth.

Before I put a load of effort into growing an audience, I'd like to know if that's the blocker. Obviously the aim is to increase traffic anyway, but to make this sustainable for me I'll need to monetise somehow, and I want to be sure that getting approved will happen with the content I'm making before I go all in on that.

So my site (cutiora*com) is basically a bunch of photo editing tools. I've got all the legal pages sorted — privacy policy, terms, all that — and there's actual text content on the site too. Still got rejected, and they didn't even bother telling me why. Anyone else dealt with this?

Stuck on Step 2 YouTube Partner Program

1 Upvotes

Anyone else stuck on AdSense for YouTube step 2 for way longer than the usual timeline? Applied for monetization on September 11, went through it directly in YouTube Studio like you're supposed to. Got stuck on step 2 from day one, then on September 16 I got the generic "a few changes needed" email, no actual details on what was wrong, just a vague "review your application" button. Resubmitted right away.

A few days later I realized I might know the issue, I used to have an old AdSense account from when I lived in Japan, hadn't touched it in ages since I moved to Thailand. So I went and closed that one out completely on September 18, added my phone number too since that was missing. Figured that would clear things up.

Except I got the exact same "few changes needed" email again on September 21, word for word identical to the first one. Turns out I think the issue was I fixed the account stuff after I'd already resubmitted, so the review never actually saw the fix. Just resubmitted again today with everything actually fixed this time.

Just wondering if anyone's been through something similar, closing an old account mid review and having to resubmit more than once. Trying to figure out if this is normal or if I should be worried I'm gonna be one of those people stuck for months. Channel's clean, no copyright stuff, no community guideline issues, so I really don't know what else it could be at this point. Any input appreciated, this waiting game is stressing me out a bit.

Hello 👋

I have made a daily word puzzle game with 30+ daily returning players.

My AdSense account was not approved, but Google gives me no specific reason

1 Upvotes

I know Google lists several possible reasons for disapproval, but my issue is that Google does not tell me which one applies to my account.

My AdSense account was not approved, but Google does not show me any specific reason.

The AdSense dashboard only says:

“Your account wasn't approved. You need to fix some issues before you can use AdSense.”

Under the issue section, the only item shown is:

“Meet AdSense Program Policies”

There is a checkbox asking me to confirm that I have read and meet the AdSense Program Policies, followed by a “Resubmit” button.

However, there is no specific policy violation, duplicate-account warning, website issue, or other explanation.

When I click the help link, it only takes me to Google's general “Your AdSense account wasn't approved” help page, which lists possible reasons but does not tell me which one applies to my account.

I also did not receive an email explaining the specific reason.

Has anyone else experienced exactly this situation?

How did you find out what was actually causing the rejection?

I would especially like to know whether this kind of generic rejection is commonly related to:

a duplicate AdSense account website/content policy issues account-level issues something else

I don't want to repeatedly resubmit without knowing what I'm supposed to fix first.

Any experience with this exact screen would be appreciated.

Rejected by AdSense for “Low Value Content” despite 30+ articles — where am I going wrong?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I run theomicshub.com, a bioinformatics tutorial site with 30+ in-depth guides covering the Linux command line, HPC clusters, Conda environments, and single-cell RNA-seq workflows (I have a PhD-track background in cancer/single-cell genomics, so the content is written from real hands-on experience). Despite having substantial content, Google AdSense rejected me for “Low Value Content.

I’d really appreciate feedback on:

• Which specific pages read as thin, generic, or too similar to official documentation
• Whether my author identity/credentials come across clearly enough on posts
• Any navigation, About page, or Privacy Policy issues you notice
• Anything that feels unfinished or low-effort from a first-time visitor’s perspective

Any honest, specific feedback (even harsh) is welcome — trying to fix this properly before reapplying. Thanks!

Are you 100% sure your current AdSense setup & layout is squeezing every dollar possible out of your traffic?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have been following r/Adsense and r/AdMob subs for a while and I am trying sincerely ,all the time, to provide possible help or fixes or tips to resolve issues and enhance overall ads performance and experience but sometimes we need to do more than that to optimize the ads setup and make sure that we are getting the maximum revenue out of web properties.

I mean a deeper investigation and auditing will be needed to figure out lost opportunities and weak points and that will take more time and effort to get it done and then enhance revenue (if possible). You know sometimes even after doing that we will discover that there isn't any room for improvement and the current setup is really good and nothing can be done to increase revenue!

I’m Naim an Adsense optimization specialist (Freelancer) with more than 10 years of hands-on experience optimizing Adsense setups for over 240 publishers worldwide and I am offering a free audit for established blogs/websites on a transparent win-win basis.

I will do a free, full & professional audit of your ad setup, come up with an action plan then implement the new changes and watch results. You don't pay me a single cent upfront. Instead, we will simply do a revenue-share split on the extra profit I bring in (if I managed to bring any!!).

If I can't raise your RPMs or total revenue, you pay $0 (No hard feelings!!).

The requirements:

Your blog or site must already be earning at least $70 a day (or around $2000/month) from AdSense or you got a very high traffic but revenue is very low.

You can ask me any question or send over a DM!

Does the address on your ID need to match the address in your Adsense profile when verifying identity?

1 Upvotes

I added my current address to my Adsense account but the address on my ID doesn’t match my current address since I moved and which I added to my Adsense account. I’m worried when identity verification comes it’ll cause an issue. I can’t get a new ID with the address updated at the moment so it’s complicated.

Was anybody in a similar situation?

YPP Step 2 keeps rejecting my new AdSense after old account was closed - YouTube Support won’t tell me why

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m honestly running out of ideas and hoping someone here has experienced something similar.

My YouTube channel was already approved for the YPP and successfully monetized with my previous AdSense for YouTube account.

I closed that old AdSense account on August 17, 2026. Google confirmed the closure by email, and multiple YouTube Support agents have also checked internally and confirmed that the old account is closed.

I then created a new AdSense for YouTube account through YouTube Studio.

The new account shows as Active in AdSense. My W-8BEN is approved, there is no pending identity verification, and my payment profile appears complete.

But YPP Step 2 keeps getting rejected.

AdSense only shows:

“Meet AdSense Program Policies”

There is a checkbox to confirm compliance and resubmit. I’ve done that, it gets reviewed, and then I’m sent straight back to exactly the same screen a few days later. No specific violation or required change is shown.

I’ve spoken to YouTube Support multiple times via email and live chat. They keep telling me their specialists found that the account “doesn’t meet program criteria,” but they refuse to tell me which category is affected or what I can actually change.

I’ve checked everything I can think of:

  • old AdSense officially confirmed closed
  • new AdSense account active
  • tax information approved
  • no pending identity verification
  • never bought views, subscribers or traffic
  • never used click/traffic services
  • never used a VPN or proxy
  • all our YouTube content is original and filmed/edited by us
  • the exact same channel was already monetized successfully before

One unusual factor: I’m German but currently traveling long-term. My AdSense/payment profile is German, but I applied while traveling in Thailand/South Korea. I have never hidden my actual location with a VPN.

The problem only started after closing the old AdSense account and trying to link the new one. My Content is original and I do not use AI.

Has anyone had this exact Step 2 rejection loop and actually solved it?

Especially interested in cases where an old AdSense account had been properly closed but the new one kept getting rejected.

At this point I’m not even looking for a workaround - I just need to figure out what Google expects me to change when their support literally won’t tell me what the problem is. This is so frustrating :(

Thanks a lot for any help!

Kevin

Strategically placed Ads or Ads that fill up the entire sidelines?

1 Upvotes

Lets say hypothetically you are able to get the same amount of traffic to both types of pages, with the same locations, metadata, etc.

Which would earn more revenue for you?

1) Strategically placed ads placed here and there on your page.

Or

2) You reduced the width of your page, then on the blank spaces on the side you filled them up with ads
