How can I detect and correct these errors on my blog?

2 Views

My blog is valcun.com and I am trying to get adsense approved on it. I have applied twice but both times google has rejected saying that my blog doesn’t adhere to Google policies. The reason is not clear. So I am confused. I write original content that is copyscape-pass and nothing is offensive. Its a clean technical blog for layman.

I played with google analytics and found these issues. What is wrong with my blog and why is Google not approving Adsense? It’s been 6 months now.

I submit site map to google, yahoo, etc regularly from my cPanel in hostgator site. I have the robot.txt file. I am at a loss to understand what’s wrong with my blog that google won’t approve! I have seen blogs less than a month old and with Adsense! How so? I do on-page seo in my articles and I submit my articles in article directories too. So why google doesn’t want to approve Adsense for my blog?

I am assuming that it’s because of the following errors that my blog isn’t getting approval. Is that so? How can I correct these?

@Secret: Yes I am using Yoast currently. I have also tried All in One SEO. And those duplicate meta description entries are showing like only my blog’s title. I mean how can I correct that error. I am unable to understand what to change and how.

Also, I am concentrating more on google organic search traffic and avoiding any kind of referral traffic because I read somewhere that organic traffic needs to be at least 50%. I checked today and search traffic has reached 50% now, if I see total of 6 months. Still Google won’t approve.

Apart from the errors above, webmaster tools is also showing the following sitemap error which I can’t understand.

I had 2 SEO plugins on my blog and I would put meta description for each of my article in both plugins that are All in One SEO and Yoast’s “WordPress SEO”. Now I removed all article’s meta descriptions from “All in one SEO” the other day but STILL web master tool is showing duplicate meta tags and descriptions. What am I doing wrong?

  1. The report does say there are duplicate meta descriptions, and short meta descriptions, so it would help if you improve them. And from what I can see, you are using WordPress. Have you tried using any SEO plugins?

  2. It might have to do with the positioning of the ads on your website. Google’s Adsense policy says to:

    Maintain adequate space between the ads and the page controls.

    It isn’t clear exactly what Google means by “page controls” but they might consider your website’s primary navigation a “page control” and this might be one of the reasons why you have been rejected.

    Also from Google’s Adsense policy:

    Make sure that your ads are well-placed on your site, away from
    interactive elements, do not mimic the surrounding content and are not
    placed under misleading headings.

    The Google Ad block on the right of your website might “blend in” with the other content on your page too much.

    So where can you put them? Well, I have had success with having an ad block in the middle or at the end of the content in an individual blog post. So I would suggest removing the ads from where you have them now, placing them where I have suggest, and reapplying. If you’re still rejected at least you can cross this off of your list.

  3. Meta description tags, while not important to search engine rankings,
    are extremely important in gaining user click-through from search
    engine result pages (SERPs). These short paragraphs are webmasters
    opportunity to advertise content to searchers and let them know
    exactly what the given page has with regard to what they’re looking
    for. The meta description should employ the keywords intelligently,
    but also create a compelling description that a searcher will want to
    click. Direct relevance to the page and uniqueness between each page’s
    meta description is key. The description should optimally be between
    150-160 characters. *

    You should let either Yoast or All in one do the meta tags. You said you were using both at one time, maybe you didn’t remove them once you were done using one of them.

    Try Xenu to help you identify which of your pages are considered duplicates and sort them out.
