Making Site Compatible with AdSense Policies


Making Site Compatible with AdSense


While applying for the AdSense, there are different ways you might get disapproved by Google. One of them is Incompatible Site. You will get a message like this - Site does not comply with Google policies. Its really frustrating when your sites content is okay but Google denies your AdSense request. 


Today I would like to discuss how to solve the issue - Site does not comply with Google policies. In fact, after having the custom domain, Im also facing the same problem. But I can solve it within few days. 


There are three major areas on which you have to focus in order to make your site compatible with Google AdSense policies:
  • Design and Content Guidelines
  • Technical Guidelines
  • Quality Guidelines

Though you will get a detailed discussion in Google Webmaster Guideline Page, Id like to summarize the topic for you. Because only few people have the patience to read a 1200 words + article! And some of the issues are highly technical. I will try to make them as clear as possible. 


Design and Content Guidelines
  • Your site should have a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be accessible from at least one static text link. I suggest you to use Blog Archive and Categories.
  • Provide a sitemap for the users so that they can explore your site as they want. 
  • Make your site useful and informative. Keep your contents accurate and clear. Read my contents writing guidelines . . .
  • Think about the words which users might search for and include those words in your contents post titles. Dont forget to relate your contents to those key words. 
  • Images are not recognized by search engines. Use as much text as possible in your contents. And label your images properly, consider using the Alternative description too. 
  • Try to find out HTML errors (if any) and fix them.


Technical Guidelines
  • Keep your site faster. Analyze the loading time of your site through various tools available over the web. Slower sites get less pageviews. So, never let it down. 
  • Test your site in major browsers (ie. Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari etc.) and make sure that it appears correctly. 
  • Properly use robots.txt so that search engines can crawl your site smoothly. 
  • Get your domain registered in high quality servers. 


Quality Guidelines
  • Built your contents primarily for the users, not for the search engines.
  • Never try to deceive/mislead your users. 
  • Never follow the illegal techniques that automatically improve your search ranking position by cheating the search engines. (Black Hat SEO)
  • Differentiate your site from competitors. Keep it unique, informative and valuable for the users. 


Avoid the Following Techniques 
  • Generating Contents Automatically
  • Participating in Link Exchange
  • Cloaking - Showing different contents to human and search engines
  • Redirecting the Users to an Unwanted Site
  • Hiding Text/Links
  • Copying/ Stealing Contents from other Sites
  • Participating in Affiliate Programs without Sufficient Contents
  • Using Irrelevant Keywords to Improve Search Ranking
  • Spreading Virus, Malware, Spam, Phishing etc.


Violating any of the above rules may take your site down in the search engine rank position. And your site may not comply with Google AdSense Policies.

Making and receiving phone calls through Gmail

Gmail Call Phone lets you make free calls from your computer (Linux, Mac or MS Windows) to anywhere in the United States and Canada. Google Voice lets you receive calls through Gmailon your computer. If you do not answer a call to your computer, Google Voice forwards the call to a phone that you have specified, such as your mobile phone.
This document explains how to:
  • Set up Gmail Call Phone.
  • Make calls through Gmail Call Phone.
  • Set up Google Voice.
  • Receive calls through Google Voice and Gmail.
Setting Up Gmail Call Phone
To set up Gmail Call Phone, you need to enable Gmail Chat and then install the Google Phone plugin.
Enabling Gmail Chat - Call Phone is part of the Chat feature within Gmail. Therefore, if you do not see a black Chat folder at the lower left in your Gmail window, you need to enable Chat as follows:
  1. Sign in to Gmail, and then click the Settings icon (gear) at the upper right to display its menu.
  2. Click Settings to display the General page, and then click the Chat tab to display its page.

  2. Click download the voice plugin to display its web page.
  3. Click Install voice and video chat to download the plugin installer for your particular operating system.
  4. Install the Google Phone plugin, through the installer, and then restart your browser and Gmail.
Note:If you use more than one computer, you need to set up Gmail Call Phone on each computer through which you plan to make calls.
Making a call through Gmail Call Phone
To make a call through Gmail Call Phone, click the Call Phone icon to display a Call window, and then, in the Search-or-dial field, do either of the following:
  • Type a number, and then click Call to dial that number.
  • Start typing the name of a Gmail contact, and then, when you see the contacts name and number, click on the number to dial it.
Setting up Google Voice
After you set up Gmail Call Phone, you can set up Google Voice as follows:
  1. Go to Google.com/voice, and then sign in to your Google account.
  2. Accept the the terms and privacy policy of Google Voice, and then click Proceed.
  3. Click I want a new number to display the Add-a-forwarding-phone window.
  4. In the Phone Number field, type your current number; in the Phone Type drop-down box, select Mobile, Home or Work; and then click Continue.
  5. Click Call me now to verify your phone, and then enter the displayed code into your phone.
  6. Type an area code, select a Google Voice number and write it down, click Continue, and then click Finish.
  7. Give your friends and associates your Google Voice number so they can use it to call you on both your computer and your forwarding phone.
Note:You need to set up Google Voice through only one computer. You can then receive calls through Gmail on any of your computers.
Receiving calls through Google Voice and Gmail
To receive calls to your Google Voice number while using your computer, keep Gmail open and dont minimize its window. The exact process for receiving a Google Voice call varies according to how you are using your computer and Gmail:
  • If someone calls your Google Voice number while you are running Gmail, Google Voice plays a ringtone through your computer speakers. Also, if your Gmail window is open (not minimized), even in the background behind other windows, Google Voice displays a dialog with an Answer button. Click Answer to speak with the caller.
  • If someone calls your Google Voice number while you do not have your Gmail window open, Google Voice plays a ringtone but does not display an Answer dialog. You must open the Gmail window and then click Answer.
  • If someone calls your Google Voice number while you are not using your computer, Google Voice forwards the call to your forwarding phone. If you do not answer, the caller is prompted to leave voicemail, which Google Voice sends to your Gmail inbox.
