hi guys.. just looking to rant a bit.. hear me out if you want to... i recently created a website.. not MFA but a good, authority, site with loads of value-add to the viewers... no backlinking, no nothing... but with good content.. people in the niche started backlinking to me.. within 3 months.. pr0 to pr4... 80 million sites in google for my keyword... rank 22... all with NO SEO on my end.. no SEO plugins.. no bought SEO service from the warrior forum.. currently 6k UVs per month, 500.000 page views, etc.. i started this site out of passion and didn't know about monetizing.. until i chanced upon WF.. so i applied for an adsense account, place ads on my site... got approved.. once the Ads starting showing... i was thrilled to see $0.14 in my account within minutes.. someone has clicked on the ad within like 15 mins.. so seeing how it could potential make a lot of money, i had to register a company to declare earning.. so i emailed adsense and asked them if it was OK that i close my personal account and register for a business one there after... they replied "sure, that is the correct thing to do. we look forward to working with u again very soon!" so i closed my personal acct and opened a biz account (adsense rule states that u cannot have 2 accounts).. thereafter.. i used my biz account to apply for adsense.. after partial approval, then rejected the full approval saying "insufficient content".. i was like this is weird.. my site is FULL of valuable content.. and no offence to most people on here, i don't copy/scrape/spin/etc because i am not into IM.. the site is my baby and my passion.. i am not looking to make $.. just enough to pay for server costs... so i re-submitted again and this time they declined due to "domain ownership".. they didn't believe the site was mine.. so as per their instruction.. i went back to add a page to my website with their code to prove that the site is mine and submitted another application.. then the 3rd time, they came back to me again and rejected due to INSUFFICIENT CONTENT again!! this is extremely fustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't know what else i can do but wait..................................... sent them an email but don't think i will get a reply thanks for hearing me out.. just needed to vent.. btw if you have any suggestions.. feel free to chim in

    Sorry to hear ;; I would be peeved too

    Are requirements stricter when you apply for a business account with adsense?
    It doesn't really seem to make any sense on their end.

    First of all you did not need to open business adsense account to declare earnings, enough to have personal and declare all earnings to your IRS.

    To open business account make sure your domain whois contain business name and address, make sure that your website you're applying has at least one relevant add (can add clickbank banner) and has at least 6 months of archyve.

      i did not have to, per say. but that was the right thing to do. because lawfully i have put the websites as property of my business, not my ownself.. so it is only right that adsense pays my business instead of me..

      thanks for your advice..

    Google sucks. Sorry to hear your story.

    Now you say that you are not into IM..

    So you come hear only to vent but not to learn? Feels kind of backwards.

    I'm guessing a lot of people would have told you to not get in googles radar in any shape or form.

    Be patient though, seems like it could work out for you. Next time, stay away from google unless you have to. Letting them see your site even if you think its the best site in the world, is generally a no no.

      of course i come here to learn. and in fact.. i share knowledge more than i learn.......

      1 post out of almost 50 post i have is venting.. i don't see how that is a problem? in fact do a search for all my past postings.. i'm not blowing my own trumpet but i think i contribute A LOT to the forum for my short time here.

      i only put google adsense on to cover the cost of the servers.. it is a not for profit site.. thus everything is out of my own pocket...

      and i don't want to sell anything to my viewers. thus i never explored CB, etc.. only google adsense

      sorry if i came across harsh.. i am just very fustrated

    Hard to get an business adsense account approved, so what? Why not use your families' id open another personal account? Sometimes when they say "INSUFFICIENT CONTENT" they mean they judged it by business adsense level, according to limited experience, forums often can get approved easily, because they often have lots of pages, so, how many pages your website has?
