How to prepare a site for Google AdSense approval

A site that is easier to approve in AdSense looks useful to readers before it looks monetized. That is especially important for apps and games websites, where it is easy to end up with a thin portfolio made of cards, store links, and short blurbs.When these sites get rejected, the problem is rarely one missing tag. It is usually the full picture: too little helpful content, too many short listing pages, thin public trust pages, and no clear editorial angle.## What should be obvious at first glance - simple navigation between home, articles, about, and contact - public legal pages that are easy to find - a visible support email and a credible public identity - multiple URLs with original text, not only listings## What to avoid - a homepage that looks only like a download hub - pages with two or three sentences and nothing useful beyond that - duplicated text between product pages, articles, and legal pages - sections that exist in navigation but remain almost empty## Minimum technical checklist - updated sitemap and robots - correctly published ads.txt or app-ads.txt - coherent canonical and meta descriptions - important pages accessible without obvious errors## Minimum editorial checklist - a few articles or guides written for humans - richer descriptions on important URLs - internal links between articles and trust pages - steady updates instead of a single burst of contentAdSense does not become easier because a site looks polished. It becomes easier because the site is understandable. If structure and content clearly explain who publishes it, what gets covered, and why the pages deserve visits, approval becomes much more realistic.
