Hey,

so I have started receiving about 1k daily website visits in gaming sub niche and I applied to AdSense (got rejected, no explanation) then followed by Media.net and RevContent rejection.

If I understand correctly these are the networks that only play with big boys? How much traffic do I need daily/monthly to get accepted into one of these networks? Are there alternative ad networks that support smaller startup websites like mine?

Also, I am using wordpress, site load speed looks OK from metrics (about 3-4 seconds) and my competition receives about 200k-1mil visits per month and their website load speeds are either shittier or the same speed as mine.

Do you have unique contents on your site and the necessary policy pages?

I really still feel weird about this one
I got accepted by Adsense while I've a fresh new website with max of 3 posts, each contains about 50 words max (news announcements)
No policy page, nothing else
That was back in 2019
Is it the same verification process everywhere?

1) Niches doesn't need to have unqiue content for getting google adsense approval.
2) Make sure you have adsense legal pages dont included rest.
3) There are few keywords google adsense really doesn't want to accept.

PM me your Website i can audit for you.

Good luck.

Fuck, I don't know if I have policy pages. I thought wordpress handles those for me with some banner pop ups?

I've got more than 40 unique articles (each of about 300-1000 words). It's not a shitty news site that regurgitates content from elsewhere.

Maybe you were lucky to have gotten approved by the AdSense team. Nowadays they're very strict when reviewing new sites. All these is due to the covid-19 pandamic and no one knows when everything will come back to normal.

Ok, so I updated my page with Privacy Policy (generated it via privacypolicygenerator.info) - its in the navigation bar under About Us. That should be enough? Also has a clear url of website.com/privacy-policy

After doing 30 minute homework it seems that there are services that offer cookie banner disclaimers with accept/reject settings. How relevant is this for ad networks or getting accepted into them? Just by having a generic privacy policy page is enough?

As far as I know, adsense is not reviewing new sites due to Covid.
I find it weird though they have people to roll out massive updates to destroy small sites yet don't have resources to review sites for adsense.

Firstly, never compare to your competitors. The terms of acceptance XX years ago is different!

Okay, unique content and privacy policy are two major factors.
