simplified as that your blog or website does not have enough content or a
blog with NO RELEVANT content suitable for displaying ads. With this

your content that will be compliant with Google Publisher Policies.

Most Probable Causes Of Rejection
Following could be the reasons:- With "little to no value" or "no relevant" content means that the
content of your blog does not offer any value to advertisers. Lets say
your blog is about History, there are chances that your blog might get
rejected because why an advertiser will be interested to display its ads
on such blog. Most of the advertisers prefer technology, news, fashion,
travel, blogging, how to, marketing, sports, education, business blogs
etc.
- You don’t have enough content on your website. You blog does not have enough content means your blog doesn't have enough posts or articles.
- Your textual content is little and it is mostly comprised of images, flash and videos.
- Important pages are missing or not been created like Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, About Us, Contact Us etc.
- Your blog's traffic is very poor.
- You are breaching Google Publisher Policies.
- Your content is not original means you have copied from somewhere else.
- Your theme is not responsive or not good for displaying ads.
What To Do?
Though most of the answers are within the above rejection reasons, but for your ease here are some suggestions that you can work on.- Create a content that ads value to advertisers, as we have mentioned
some of the niches above that are preferred for advertisement.
- Fill your blog with quality content. Make sure the quantity of textual content should be more than the images, flash and videos. Your content should be organized and responsive. Follow the SEO guidelines when your write your content.
- Most of the experts suggest at least 20 quality articles to be posted and they should be indexed on Google before you apply to Google Adsense. Use the Google Search Console or copy and paste the URL's of your blog on Google to check whether they have been indexed or not.
- Make sure not to breach Google Publisher Policies .

- Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, so Google crawlers will crawl all your posts.
- In start no traffic will come from Google searches, so make sure to create pages and accounts of your blog on popular social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc and try to share and engage some audience. There should be at least more than 50 views of your blog posts everyday.
- Avoid copy/paste. Initially most of the bloggers try to copy and paste others content on their blogs that violates the Google Publisher Policies.
- Be consistent in posting. Try to post at least one or two articles per day. The more you are consistent higher the rate of approval because Google does not encourage those blogs where there is inconsistency in posting articles. The more consistent you are in posting the more fastly your posts will be indexed on Google. Remember! never get demotivated and be consistent at any cost. Consistency is the KEY.
- Understand the importance of Keywords. Research on how to find right keywords for your blog and articles.
