Getting rejected by Google AdSense with zero explanation — how did you figure out what to fix?
I think AdSense rejection emails are one of the least helpful feedback in the tech field. They simply state, "Insufficient content." "Policy violation." They don't even specify the exact page, section, or rule.
When I spoke with bloggers who had this experience, I found the pattern was almost always the same. They guessed the reason, finished writing the post, waited two weeks, and still got rejected again. Some people even gave up after trying three or four times.
Has anyone here had a similar experience?
Did you actually figure out the reason for the rejection?
How did you eventually succeed? Or have you still not been able to resolve it?
Did you find any resources that helped you? Or did you mostly solve it on your own?
I would like to hear specific know-how from those who have actually gone through this, rather than general advice like "write high-quality content."

I had a similar experience where the rejection message didn't really point to the problem. What helped me was reviewing the site like a new visitor, improving the navigation, adding clearer author information, and making sure every page had a clear purpose.
it would be intresting hear stories from people who got rejected multiple times and then finally approved. The exact before-and-after changes would probably help more than general SEO advice.
I'm curious whether anyone has ever kept a detailed log of every change they made before finally getting approved. It would be fascinating to see if successful applications share common patterns, or if the still mostly trial and error.

I went through something similar in another case.
In the end, I stopped trying to guess one specific issue and reviewed the whole site instead, added better content, improved UI, and removed low-value pages.
Google's feedback is definitely one of the most frustrating parts of the process :)
