Your AdSense application status






Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into AdSense at this time.


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.

happy new year

leksmedia , the link you provided on how to create a blog from start to finish isn't available. "error 404". please update. I really need to learn how to set up a blog at least for free now. I've read online guides and apparently I need to pay for something called 'hosting' and my own domain name, but after going through my total expenses are in excess of $100, which I cant afford at the moment. I just want to set it up with a good design and make some posts/tutorials (its an educational blog).

Please how do i monetize http://www.gadgetsng.com/ ?

It beats me that longstanding bloggers like you, with even better Alexa rankings still don't know how to monetize their blogs.
