Why is Adsense Rejecting my website for Adult Content?

Question

I have a 2 year old blog about cars and car repairs.

The website has lots of original content, with more than 1,000 words each.

The site has been online for 2 years and with 2,000 original articles written by myself.

I keep applying for an Adsense account and every darn time I get a disapproval email stating they rejected me for Adult Content.

My site has no Adult rated content anywhere on the site so why in the heck is it getting this disapproval reason?

Answer 1

When you apply for an adsense account a bot is sent out to crawl your website to see if it's suitable for adsense.

The bot scans your content, and could be picking up some word you have on your blog that could be seen by the bot as adult content.

Of course it could be none of that. I've had Adsense reject a site a few times for adult content and then after a few more tries they approved it.

The bot isn't very intelligent if they think a non adult site is an adult site. lol

After you get approved though you have another process to go through, you have to wait awhile after placing your ads and then the bot I believe turns on your ads.

I really don't think any human reviews the sites. I could be wrong, but all I noticed was bots from google scanning my website when getting approved for adsense.
