Hi all,
Experienced media buyer and web master here. I recently started working on affiliate as my consulting business has been hit hard by Corona.
I have a few strategies I'm working on but the one I need help with here is:
Traffic Arbitrage
I have build a really nice portal with about 21 articles. It is a DIY website with diy articles and lifehacks. Since the focus is arbitrage to start (will add offers eventually). I need the best possible ad monetization I can get. Unfortunately there is only one company who dominates on this topic and that is Google.
I have been rejected about 3 times now and keep adding more articles, then re-submitting.
Since this is DIY, there is almost nothing that has not been done before. I wrote a few completely unique articles myself, and the rest are re-written (manually by me, not automated) versions of other DIY articles I found on the web or via youtube.
This is my rejection text:
Your site isn’t ready to show ads
We’ve found some policy violations on your site which means your site isn’t ready to show ads yet.
My question is: what should I do? Keep writing more content? I am using screenshots and images from other articles (remaking them myself would take far too much time). Do you think this is what they consider "non unique content"? The text is different than original article but structure can be similar (ie. step 1 do this, step 2 do that, different text but same steps and order), maybe this is the problem? Now that i've been rejected a few times, does that mean fixing it will be impossible? Is there another way?
