Hello Hubpages community
I need help in understanding the hubpages/adsense program
So I applied for Adsense through hubpages a while back and did not get approved.
I then added more hubs etc.
I currently got 21 featured hubs, a hubscore of 92 and been on hubpages for 10 months.
I applied again and got a message from adsense saying I was disapproved BUT on my hubpages settings under the adsense tab it shows my adsense is active and I have got an ad code saying "ca-pub-...."
Can anybody explain to me what is going on please?
Thank you
Hi Yaseeny,
When you got the email from AdSense, what did it say you were disapproved for?
Hi Christy,
This was the email that they sent me.
As mentioned in our welcome email, we conduct a second review of your AdSense application once AdSense code is placed on your site(s). As a result of this review, we have disapproved your account for the following violation(s):
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below
Insufficient content: To be approved for AdSense and show relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to determine what your pages are about.
To resolve this issue, please work through the following suggestions:
Make sure that your pages have sufficient text - websites that contain mostly images, videos or Flash animations will not be approved.
Your content should contain complete sentences and paragraphs, not only headlines.
Ensure that your website is fully built and launched before you apply for AdSense - do not apply while your site’s still in a beta or “under construction” phase or only consists of a website template.
Place the ad code on a live page of your website. It does not have to be the main page, but test pages that are empty except for the AdSense ad code will not be approved.
Provide a clear navigation system for your visitors so that they can easily find all of the sections and pages of your website.
If you’d like to monetize YouTube videos, please apply for the YouTube monetization program. Note that blogs and websites that contain only videos will not be approved.
Although we recommend 10-15 Hubs with an account that is at least a month old in the US (or 6 months in some countries that require it), AdSense does not actually disclose their approval process and sometimes holds writers to very different standards. I recommend writing significantly more Hubs (5 or 10) before applying again, and/or stopping by the AdSense Help Forums for advice.
No no you see my hubpages account says I've got an active adsense account.
I have even got the code ca-pub-...
but I can not login to my adsense account because according to google I had been disapproved so I am confused.
It's possible that Google approved it temporarily and then reassessed or that it's still pending. You will have to contact them to see what the issue is.
