hey guys,

I tried to apply for Google Adsense and every time they rejected my request for unsupported language.
Our site is completely English.
Have you ever faced with same problem?

Cheers,

ur site url?

http://wallocal.com

it's because of your content! your website does not have much contents! your main page is filled with city names which are all Malaysian cities and in their view its like another language!
the best kind of site that can get your adsense approved is a blog like site with fresh articles, which is being updated every while.

Thank you for time and reply.
Last time, I remove all cities from listing and applied and got the same feedback.
As you mentioned it might be for absence of English content related to the service.

I believe your pinup ads service is the cause. Since AdSense is adverting, allowing others to advertise simultaneously defeats the purpose of it.
http://google.about.com/od/adsense/tp/adsensedonts.htm

I think this is the main reason.

Yes, I think so. But there should be a way to use adsense because I've seen my classified listings which are using adsense.
I try to contact Google and find a solution.
Once I find the way, I will share here.
Cheers,

me too. email me says i not the owner for the website, funny..

I'm totally not an expert about Adsense but I have Adsense account and have cash out my earning few times. I will share how I get my GA account. I learned about this tips somewhere but cannot remember where and from who.

First, I make a blog using blogger.

Then I share download links for mp3 file. For 1 post, I make a list of mp3 title and the download link besides it. All in English.

I make a few posts. Less than 10 posts if I'm not mistaken.

Then I applied for GA. Received email from the team few days after that. Succeed!

And then, after that I start to build a travel blog (written in English. no longer exist.) and put GA in the blog.

I don't know if this kind of tips still work to get your GA application accepted because I did that in 2009/10 like that. Try if you want.

Using Blogspot is easier to apply adsense.

When applying for Google Adsense, make sure no other ads service is running,
If you still insist want to use that site to apply GA, you need to take out all the other ads.. and put it back once your application is accepted..

but, I Can't guarantee Google won't ban you

P/S : I'm sure with your site + huge traffic, you can get a lot of income but if you only target Malaysian, the income might be lower because many Malaysian know how to use Adblock

I think Adsense account you applied using Blogspot is hosted only account, you can only use it for blogspot or youtube. You need to submit your site for approval for full Adsense account if you want to use Adsense on your own site.

It is ok to use other ads together with Adsense, but they have very strict policy.

I think add at least one page with 500-1000 words content in your website might help, I'm no pro though.

you'll get banned if you this now. they hate anything that has anything to do with copyright infringement

As long as you apply from Malaysia, you'll most likely never get a full Adsense account. You'll have to login from USA, apply from USA & maintain a USA address if you ever hope of getting a full Adsense account.

Malaysia, together with some other countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh & Pakistan are known to be notorious for "click fraud". Therefore, you can try apply for an account as many times as you like. You'll most likely be rejected for some innocent reason.

Malaysia Tak Boleh!

My site is running adsense

your site should have some contents and no other ads are running in your site yet....
good luck bro

I'm happy for you.

My site is a Pagerank 1 site with 246 original articles & no other ads running on it. The domain name is about 5 years old. I was rejected last month for "insufficient content"!!!

So what do you mean by "some contents"? 500 articles?

This post has been edited by transfield: Jun 17 2014, 09:32 PM

LOL, that is weird...
Initially i was rejected for Adsense when my content is only less than 10 articles...
Then i keep on writing like mad, and i have around 25 articles...
Then i apply ADsense again, and i get it

Read the fineprint. No commercial blog allowed. So later on when you are really making money, if they think that's enough, your account will be deleted.

If you are making money some other way other then blogging on the site then be careful. If it's a blogger account somebody got his blog deleted too.

Sorry, no explanation given

Mine is not a commercial site. Mine is a non profit organization.

I beg to differ with your views. If you go to flippa.com, you'll find that there are hundreds of commercial websites selling Amazon, Clickbank, etc products which are also monetized with Adsense. How did these guys get their Adsense?

As I said earlier, Google will reject you for some "innocent" reason as long as they smell "Malaysia" in your application.

I'm been cashing out good $ with Google, and I'm a Malaysian.

I've been cashing out with both Adsense and Youtube Ads (linked to Adsense).

What's this problem of being Malaysian with Google Adsense?

It seems that Google doesn't like it if you are making "too much" money from Adsense.

As long as you are under the radar, then it's ok.

New applications are also hard to be approved.

Assuming that you have a full Adsense account (& not a hosted one), in what year was your Adsense account approved?

I got accepted GA .. my blog post almost 300 now...

Assuming that you have a full Adsense account (& not a hosted one), in what year was your Adsense account approved?

If I am not wrong August 25, 2014 something like that . I have previously applied numerous times .. Failed then I decided to do it again after six months continuously blogging... the trick is the blog must have something from real life, real photo. lifestyle and health... something fashion, electronic and food .. it must stay in relevant.. attractive and in English..


I sincerely hope I have no problem with GA for the coming years

I tried apply GA few times but ended up keep disapprove my application saying that my blog has "Difficult site navigation" issue. Anyone know what's this ?

BTW, i'm blogging in Chinese, wil it be another concern they disapprove my application too?

If you are blogging in Chinese, your traffic will most likely come from Chinese reading countries. The value of traffic from these countries are extremely low, in the eyes of Google. Many advertisers are not willing to pay highly for Chinese traffic. Therefore it is difficult to get a GA account.

Hope it helps.

Hmm, but if based on GA, my traffic all from Msia just wonder why they said "difficult site navigation"

Malaysian traffic is (unfortunately) almost worthless. Valuable traffic comes from US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand among others. Difficult site navigation can easily be rectified by setting up your website on a popular content management system like Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla.

Then again, Google will never tell you the truth about why they rejected you. "Difficult site navigation" may be a mere excuse to reject you.

If your website is really popular as you believe, you can always monetize it with Chitika & earn a meager income from them.

Sorry for being so pessimistic :-)

Considering change to Wordpress with better theme? What they mean by site navigation is where when the surfer doesn't know where to look for the information that they want.
A good web design will have a consistent navigation panel (a menu, for instance) throughout the site. If you're not willing to do a major revamp, then considering the following changes:
- Clean up the right panel on your blog by reducing the number of gadgets, give priority to the main links to your post (Coffee Tea or Me) by placing them above everything else and change that "Coffee Tea or me" wording to something meaningful (but dull) like "Site Menu" or "Navigator" so that people know those are links to browse through your sites.
- Even though you wanted to highlight the 4 main post by placing it on top but that could mislead people by thinking that that's all post you have. If you wanted to keep them, I suggest you replace them to your right panel, directly below your "Site menu" or give that section a name like "Highlights" or something equivalent.
- Others less relevant stuff: Reduce the size of the banner directly above your page, it only serve as decoration but has little to no space value. Secondly, considering compress the image of your background to reduce the load time.

You can keep a copy of your template as backup then only you apply those changes and try your luck again with Adsense & if nothing work out, you can always switch it back from your back up.

HTH

Ya, my friend seems have the same problem as well somehow my website don't really that popular, hahaha, anyway, thanks for your suggestion

thank you so much for your suggestion, will revamp my blog soon was thinking change to Wordpress but seems like require lots of time, perhaps maybe just find some better template and updated in blogspot, hopefully adsense will approve? or else, just give up on apply..lol

Hey guys,
my website got rejected again. http://wall.my


Issues:
- Insufficient content
- Site does not comply with Google policies

[ while Google was reviewing my website I didn't have any other ads from other providers. ]

I think Google has problem with me, personally!

I think maybe because there's not enough information about your company or yourself.

After reviewing back your website from before this, it already improved a lot but there's absence on the About Us section so Google might have thought you were doing this anonymously so they didnt want to approve.

This post has been edited by ChowQing94: Sep 12 2014, 12:39 PM

I'm not surprised that your site got rejected.

Examples of insufficient content:

http://wall.my/board.aspx?neighbour=&for=O...om=0&board=1007

http://wall.my/board.aspx?neighbour=&for=H...om=0&board=1029

You don't have a privacy policy page too. Here's an example of how to write a privacy policy page. It's taken from my internet marketing site. Feel free to re-use it.

All the best to you.

One of possible reasons - maybe you have pop-up ads from another advertiser

To anyone who used Western Union for cashouts, are we able to receive points via the MyWU rewards program?

how to join WUreward?

You'd need to register as a member of MyWU free here:
https://www.westernunion.com/us/en/mywu.html

Basically, you get point by sending money. Not clear on receiving funds though.

Need help

Recently, my blog just hit USD10 threshold and a PIN verification was sent to my home address which unfortunately is not updated (when I was in US). So I tried to request for a new PIN to be sent to a new address in KL but I got "Sorry, address change to this country/region is not yet supported." message when I tried to change address. Gurus.. please help me.

I think if you write to them & explain the matter honestly, they may consider entertaining you. If they suspect that you are up to some hanky-panky, then your explanation will most likely fall on deaf ears.

Have you changed your Gmail home address to Malaysia?

As a last resort, you can give them a US forwarding address which is going to be more expensive compared to the amount you are going to earn from Google.

All the best.

Thank you. I will check with Google.

love adsense .... i have using this programe start from 2004 .. . my first payment is around 6 year hahaha ...


i'm the trusted user by google .. that mean i dont do anything scamm or trick .. and my blog and site all in BM lahhh .. tak caya ke


ok just i share my blog ..


http://asklinux.blogspot.com/

http://terpakai.my

http://csgerakkhas.blogspot.com/

I've created more than 50 adsense full account.
anyone kept getting rejected by google & need my help?
of course, with a fee

My site url: http://semenyih.boomingland.com.
I have submit for adsense approval few times ago, but still not getting any feedback from google.
May someone help to tell me what going wrong to my site?

50? Using whose names? You can't simply sell the acount ..
the owners have to have login credentials. . And the names and adresses & emails must be their owns.. so can't simply-simply sell one.

I think because 1. subdomain, 2. server error when trying to read the blog. If google bot can't crawl into your site, then it would probably send a flag back saying this is broken website etc.

Your site need the be at least 3 months old in order to get approved by Adsense.

Anyhow, I just cash out from my Adsense account few weeks back

whats the problem?
ppl order, give their name and details then i create..

insufficient content & lack of organic traffic

Hi,
I'm interested in getting a full Adsense account for my website. My website is http://www.betterpublicspeaking.com/

I've applied numerous times but got rejected. The recent rejection message from Google was:

Could you recommend specifically what I need to do in order to get an Adsense account. Thank you for not making vague statements such as insufficient content & lack of organic traffic. I'm willing to pay you for your consultancy if you can guarantee me that your advice will help me get a full Adsense account.

Thanks.

Thanks google adsense has approved my application few days ago....
But i still dun know how adsense works?
Izzit based on page views or only click?

What menthod you have use to cash out ?

adsense has many type of ads based on advertiser's request..yes both Pageviews and Clicks are available..
adsense algorthym will determine which ads to be displayed, so different visitors will see different ads of different type of different targetting type

but thats not all..you can also monetize through Youtube, Apps, Custom Search Engine (CSE)

there are many ways to generate $$$ using adsense.. i've seen ppl generating 1000usd per month, as well as 1000usd per day

cheque

just fyi, u can use Wire Transfer (TT) or Western Union as well.
I prefer the former, normally PIP around 21-22nd.. PI on 23rd and cleared by 24-25th in Maybank account.

how bro mind to share?

Adsense !!! ... from 2008till somewhere 2010/2011 i ws in to this and my first pay out is about around Rm600++ where I used to topup to buy my iPhone 3g 16gb which costR RM2.5k ( at the time)... during those time average per month can get around 1k to 3/4k where certain niche can goes up to USD80 per click (yup !! ...ranking is first page of google search) ..But towards the end 2010/2011 google went berserk and band all oaf my accounts and my brother that time..we loose around 15/18k due to unrelease payment. my advise ...study the the trends and look for niche market/keywords that is mostly relevant to us market .. thats where the money is in.Dont cheat especially on traffics.
Produce genuine content and not copy paste from those article repo ..
As some of has said stay under the radar .. don't asked your friends to test click on the ads on your site for testeings ,if possible don't use same iip twice ( use multiple location starbuck/or othe places .use vpn or tor (privacy) ... after got banned its very hard to get the account back ..so becarefull ..google will study you,your site and your visitor behaviour ...since them I've stopped doing adsense so i don't know any tips or update after that period ..just sharing my exp

How much does Wire Transfer cost?

I would say we gotta focus on TRAFFICS! Drive only organic traffics to your site. The more the better!
I found putting our Adsense at at bottom of the post perform the best all the time

Good luck bro

Wire trf only costs the sender ie Google.
Google doesnt charge anything to publisher.
Some banks may charge for receiving funds in USD, but depends. In my case, Maybank doesnt charge. CIMB also doesnt charge (for my 2nd account)

Thanks for telling me! I gonna use Wire Transfer on my next transaction

ok.just make sure u key in the right info ie account no & swift code.
before you submit, pls screenshot what u key in first coz once u submit, there's no way of checking the info again.
just for reference, in case u didnt receive payment, can know what's wrong. most of the times, its coz wrong swift code.

If my site only got pageviews without any clicks, izzit still can earn money?
If yes, how many pageviews is need (per day or per month)?

can..but it will be very low..like 1sen per day, depending on pageviews and CPM set by advertiser..
its very subjective..coz there's many factors to be considered..do bare in mind not all advertisers wants pay-per-impression..
most would want per-click or per-engagement..there's many types of ad bid types and ad targetting types..

Can u share to me or give me some suggestion to increase my click in my site?

play around..try different positions and layout..and see which works for your site..
you may place up to 3 banners + 2 link ads + 2 search box on a page, so maybe u wanna maximize on that..
use best conversion ad sizes..different ad sizes works on different sites, so experiment

u may also wanna place a banner within your content..another on top and another on side..

Hey transfield,

Seems like you need more content and traffic. Your site doesn't seem to do well on Alexa (19 million - about 20-30 visitors/day?)
Don't write for the sake of Adsense, but write to be authoritative on the subject. Be the best site on public speaking And there's many ways to monetise the site as well. When you've sufficient traffic, then reapply

That's not true. Google doesn't like it if we break their contracts. As we're the supplier and they're the customer here Plus, they need to be accountable to the advertisers. Same thing, if the Star fails in their obligations to Samsung, Samsung has every right to pull out

Just need to be double check on guidelines.

Here's a good place

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/adsense


I don't think there's a difference between full and not full adsense account Please check on Google's actual Adsense forum


Not really. Google's just be honest and direct, without beating around the bush. Difficult to navigate could be due to the theme and lack of navigation controls. Try something more concise. Ours is at :

http://www.techgarage.my/blog/

I've made sure that readers can easily read part of the article, before they decide to jump into the full article.


Indeed.

Again, your theme looks alright. Did you just change it? Otherwise, try something like a news/magazine theme There's many around

Not really. Was Google specific about their policies? Otherwise, take a scan through their policies and remove anything which might cause you the approval

Hey transfield,

Just checked your other site, http://www.feastcash.com

Google won't approve the site as

1) it is too geared towards affiliate marketing. Plus you, "read more..." can be construed as misleading to readers, as it instead goes over to the affiliate site.
2) There seems to be no original content, but seems like you've cut and paste the affiliate sites in order to make articles. Google calls it content scraping. Even if you get approved, you'll get banned
3) There's a lack of navigation on the site. There's no way to sift through articles, other than the search button

As I mentioned earlier, I believe Adsense shouldn't be the focus. Nor affiliate marketing. But building a great site with great content. With thoughts, opinions, how-to, etc. What you want to do is to build a site for readers and build a community around it, not have a site for the sake of monetisation

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

I wasn't referring to feastcash. I was referring to http://iemtm.org/ which is a Pagerank 1 site which contains 246 original aritcles. Even this got rejected by Google.

Yes there is. The Adsense "specialists" on fiverr.com can gurantee us a hosted account within a week for a nominal fee. However, most of them dare not promise us a full account because they know how difficult it is to get one.

If we say that we are from Malaysia, they will immediately decline our business...

Hey transfield,

Just checked, and here's my feedback
1) It's a Toastmaster site, as such it might not be what Google wants. If it was a site on other things, perhaps yes.
2) Navigation is as bad as the previous sites.
3) Traffic is bad as well. With an Alexa rank of 20 mil, it hardly gets visitors, and will definitely be rejected by Google. Try when your Alexa rank goes higher. Perhaps 2 to 3 mil and less?

But yes, the main thing is, the site isn't something Google would be keen on, imho. To be sure, try Google's Product forum.

And yes, on Fiverr? No, I wouldn't trust them. Would rather ask and gain answers from the Google Product Forum instead (link below)
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/adsense

Try this instead : Taken from allbloggingtips.com

To upgrade Adsense hosted account to normal account. You need a quality website. Google is not going to approve any spammy blog or the one with poor content.

We’ve wrote a complete detail article on tips before applying for Adsense. Here are some quick tips you must follow before requesting Google to upgrade your Adsense hosted account to normal account.

Add important pages in your blog like: About us, Privacy Policy, Contact Us
You must be 18+. So Make sure to use the payee name same as on your bank account
Apply using a top level domain like .com , .net, .org
Write quality content and optimize it for search engines
Make your website fast loading.
Use good looking themes, I prefer Elegant Themes


Cheers,

Leo
p/s: In short, there's no short cut. Even I'm trying hard on Techgarage.my. Still a long way to go to be a superstar blogger

Nice theories, thanks. However, I don't buy any of it, sorry. Google's reasons for rejecting iemtm.org was none of what you mentioned. Their reason was insufficient content!. That's all. No other reasons were given. This is why I am of the opinion that if Google does not like you (especially if you are Malaysian) for whatever reason, they will give you a misleading but polite reason for rejecting you.

As far as the service providers on fivver.com are concerned, I've been using the services of some of them for years. I've no reasons to doubt them. I have recommended some of them to my students too. My students are also happy with their services. This does not necessarily mean that everyone on fiverr.com are angels. There are devils on every site, including fiverr.com

Here's another true story of my student's experience with the flip-flop behaviour of Google. She bought a fully monetised Adsense website from flippa.com. The site was displaying Adsense before she bought it. The owner was a New Zealander who was using his own Adsense publisher id.

The moment she took ownership of the website, the New Zealander removed his Adsense publisher id & asked my student to put her own Adsense publisher id so that the Adsense revenue will now go to her. Since she did not have an Adsense account at that time, she used this site to apply for an Adsense account. My student is a Malaysian & applied from Malaysia.

Guess what? Google rejected her application because the site supposedly had copyrighted material on it! If Google was honest with their reasons for rejecting her application, why did they display Adsense advertisements on the site when it was owned by the New Zealander?

Therefore, she asked the New Zealander to help her apply for an account from New Zealand. Guess what, he successfully got an Adsense account for her within 2 weeks! Adsense advertisements began to appear on the same site which was earlier rejected for supposedly having "copyrighted" material!

The New Zealander then transferred the account over to her name & Malaysian address. Until today, Adsense advertisements continue to appear on her site :-)

I can't reveal the site's url for fear that Google will shut down her account.

How do you explain that?

Hey transfield,

I think what they meant was, insufficient content that they want. Anyway, rather than you not believing me or us getting into a debate, why don't you just hop over to Google's official forum for Adsense questions?

Also, what was the full reason for rejection? Could you copy and paste the email Google sent you, here? Perhaps other Lowyat forumers could help you with it.

Peace bro!

In conclusion, if Google's policies were really transparent, everyone who buys & sells Adsense monetized websites on flippa.com would be multi-millionaires by now :-)

bad site design.. unclear structure..

I've already said what i needed to say. All the best.

I can get you an fully approved Adsense account for your site in 72 hours just shoot an email to gullybabapub0010@gmail.com


Attached thumbnail(s)

Do you need to apply at Maybank or CIMB first before using the Wire Transfer? Where to get the SWIFT code?
Currently, I am using Western Union, but Wire Transfer will be more convenient as no need to go to Western Union and queue up.

You can always check the Swift Code here;

http://www.swift-code.com/malaysia/

guys, i havent receive my adsense check last month. who should i contact ?

Thanks for the info. Changed from WU to wire transfer .

Guys, what is the maximum amount we can wire transfer from US to Malaysia? What amount should under LHDN radar?

how long does it take for wire transfer to local bank?
is it more than one week or right away after payment released

Do we need to specify the branch as well? How we know which branch?

google adsense.. didnt know there was an approval process. I think my account is still active ... used to run an active forum. then I used adsense on my blogs. inactive till now. made 5 withdrawals. last time minimum was $100 ?

No need. Just update with the HQ address.

I got a question and I am hoping whether anyone can help me on this. I would like post the Privacy Policy on my Blog , but I am not sure how to do it. I did try to go to the Layout - Gadget - Add Page . Im uncertain about the URL. How do I do it ? Can somebody guide me on this ?
My blog is www.wyvernstrings.blogspot.com
