Today I am writing full blog how i got AdSense approval website and how i got reject.
First I build my portfolio through WordPress website. then i applied google AdSense anyhow i got approval.
I think it was great day for me.
by the way, I got reject after 1 month.
Today, I’m sharing my rollercoaster experience with Google AdSense — how I earned approval for my WordPress portfolio website, celebrated the milestone, and faced an unexpected rejection just one month later. If you’re struggling to get approved or want to avoid common mistakes, this guide is for you.
Step 1: Building My WordPress Portfolio Site
I started by creating a professional portfolio website using WordPress. My goal was to showcase my work, but I also wanted to monetize it with ads. Here’s what I prioritized:
- Clean Design: I chose a minimalist theme to ensure fast loading times and mobile responsiveness.
- High-Quality Content: I published 15+ original articles related to my niche (design and freelancing).
- User Experience: Added clear navigation, an About page, and a contact form to build credibility.
Step 2: Applying for Google AdSense
After 2 months of consistent content updates, I applied for AdSense. Here’s what worked:
- Content Volume: I had 20+ posts, each over 800 words.
- Legal Pages: Included a Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Terms of Service.
- Traffic: My site had ~50 daily organic visitors (not huge, but steady).
To my surprise, I got approved in 3 days! It felt like a huge win — until things went sideways.
The Rejection: What Went Wrong?
One month later, I received an email: “Your AdSense account has been disabled.” I was crushed. After researching, here’s where I likely messed up:
- Low Traffic: My traffic dropped to 20–30 visitors/day after approval.
- Accidental Policy Violations: I’d placed ads too close to buttons and headers (violating AdSense placement rules).
- Thin Content: Some older posts lacked depth and had grammatical errors.
- Invalid Clicks: A few friends clicked ads “to support me,” which Google flagged as suspicious activity.
Lessons Learned (How to Avoid Rejection)
If you want long-term AdSense success, avoid these mistakes:
- ✅ Focus on Consistent Traffic: Aim for 100+ daily visitors before applying.
- ✅ Follow Ad Placement Policies: Keep ads away from navigation menus, images, or buttons.
- ✅ Audit Content Regularly: Remove thin posts and fix errors. Use tools like Grammarly.
- ✅ Never Click Your Own Ads: Educate friends/family about ad policies.
