Any appeal possible?

Q: I received this reply from Adsense. Is there any possibility of appeal?
Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. After reviewing your application, our specialists have found that it does not meet our program criteria. Therefore, we are unable to accept you into our program.

We have certain policies in place that we believe will help ensure the effectiveness of Google ads for our publishers as well as for our advertisers. We review all publishers, and we reserve the right to decline any application. As we grow, we may find that we are able to expand our program to more web publishers with a wider variety of web content.

Please note that we may not be able to respond to inquiries regarding the specific reasons for our decision. Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team


A: I think you just have to accept the decision made by the Adsense team which is final. A blog may be many things. It is definitely not a short cut to obtain easy money from the internet at all. Your motives are very questionable and the assumptions you have made are completely wrong.

Adsense earnings

Q: I just want to know how can I see if i'm earning from adsense through bloggers, as I have received no report that i'm earning any thing from Google ads.

You have to make some money first from Adsense before you receive a report from Google. It will take a few months and initially, the amounts will be very small. You can check your account here: https://www.google.com/adsense/account-access
