AdSense rejection, now what?!

[canswift]

After several years as an Adwords advertiser, my company decided to try for an Adsense account. We built a separate website filled with original content and images, as we did not want Adsense on our main retail website. The articles and content on our second website were aimed at the interests of our target audience, but did not compete directly with our main business.

After much work we submitted this site to Google Adsense. After a 2 week wait we received a rejection email saying we "did not fit their policies at this time". No explanation at all what the issues were. We have emailed back asking for clarificaton but don't hold out much hope of a response.

We were quite stunned as ours is a quality website with great advertiser / keyword potential (no porn, gambling or other TOS issues). It is not like some of the 2-page Made For Adsense dreck webpages, devoid of content, which seem to have been approved by Adsense. I can't post our URL for comment yet as we're considering options.

Questions for this forum are: What do Google usually mean by this sort of rejection? Can we reapply at a later date? What are the best alternatives to Adsense? (we can't use YPN as we're not in the US). Any comments, similar experiences, sympathetic replies or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, CanBrit

Do u have a Contact page in your site ? PM me the site url if u dont mind i check if there is any AdSense NoNo's.

the best answer is dont contact again but try again by changiing site or payee name or adress etc and you get approved

Or you can use:

try using your main site, even if you don't plan on putting adsense on it. Once you are approved you can use adsense on any page that does not break the rules

well, just apply from another email account...

as u are in a business for many year, you are expected to have another domain ?? you may apply for that other one...

Now approved!

Thanks for the reply posts. We decided to start by emailing Adsense asking (politely) why our site had been rejected and if they could offer any assistance towards making any site changes. We actually received a response quite quickly saying they would look into it. A week after that we simply received another email saying we had now been approved. We have no idea whether we were auto-rejected the first time and maybe a real human looked at it the second time. However, we are very pleased that this seems to have worked out OK in the end.
