You can't read this blog. It has no content

Not too long ago, I noted that my efforts to have ads placed on this blog through the Google AdSense program were being rebuffed. First I was told that there's no content, then that the content was prohibited. Unless Google considers conservative thought to be offensive, which they probably do, there's nothing here that violates any of Google's prohibitions.

Each time I've gotten a rejection notice, I dutifully click the "I certify I have fixed the problems" box and resubmit the application.

Well, we've again gone to getting "no content" rejections. The latest:

You need to fix some things to use AdSense


We've found policy violations on http://kentuckyvalleyviews.blogspot.com that are preventing your site from being approved:
  • Valuable Inventory: No content
    As stated in our Program policies, we may not show Google ads on pages or apps with little to no value and/or excessive advertising until changes are made. This includes hosted ad pages or pages or apps without content.
So it would appear now that Google again considers conservative blogs to have no content or no value.

But I will keep on fighting the good fight in an attempt to make a little extra money. So again, in the meantime, if you have any freelance writing or editing needs, give me a shout.
