I'm a newbie to Adsense. I applied for an account (that was about a month ago) and my application was rejected. Reason given was
*********
We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.
Issues:
- Page type
---------------------
Further detail:
Page type: We're unable to approve your AdSense application at this time
because we feel that your site does not comply with the Google webmaster
quality guidelines. More specifically, we believe that your site does not
add value or provide unique content.
*********
Since then, I've made many changes to my blog. But still I want to be sure of success this time around. My url is: it-jobs-careers.blogspot.com
Please suggest what exactly they are looking for to approve an application.
Answer:
As you have made many changes to your blog after you got this mail from Google, I’m not able to see anything particular that could have turned you down. They always look for content, original content (and much more) But if you have original content, then you are almost there!
One you apply for adsense, your site is first visited by a bot (an automated Google program). The bot crawls your site and reports if your site can be accepted for Adsense. If the bot gives a green chit, then you are in. Otherwise, your site will be reviewed by a representative from the adsense team. It will be them who come to the conclusion if you should be accepted or not.
Tip: Original content is the holy grail of search engines. Start a new blog at blogger, write 2-3 good articles. Keep the blog clean, Do not include words that go against the TOS and apply for Adsense. This is a sure fire way to get your Adsense application approved.
All the best

Adsense Account Disabled?
Pratik asks:
My account was disabled. If I take a new broadband connection, can I create my account again?
Answer:
[Answer edited as per the comments below]
Your broad band connection has got nothing to do with disabling of your Adsense account. You won’t be able to re create the same account again.
A ban from Adsense holds good for a life time! So you won't be able to re-apply for Adsense. The only thing you can do is to partner with someone who already have an account and allow them to display ads on your site and get a good share of the revenue.
You can also tell some relative of yours to start an Adsense account and use it on your site! The point here is, add value to your advertisers. Do not pose a risk to them! Stay away from anything that violates the ToS.
Tip: Learn the reason for which Google disabled your account. It might be due to some TOS violation. Refrain from doing things that violate the Google TOS. Always think long term, work on getting more traffic. More traffic means more money (if you monetize them well)
Hope that answers your question.
All the best!

Using Two Adsense Accounts on One PC ?
Rock asks:
1. I just wanted to know if 2 people using the same ISP can use adsense with 2 different adsense accounts with different PCs? And also, does the IP also play the big role in it ?
2. My cousin and I are using same ISP, both of us got our own Adsense account. We want to know if it will be a problem for us if we use the same ISP / IP for Adsense? And also, can we use same PC too?
Answer:
That’s really a volley of questions from Rock! Let’s start with the answers and then know a bit more on the topic.
1. The answer to your first question is a simple YES! IP’s have got nothing to do here! [continue reading till the end]
2. Your cousin and you can continue using the same ISP and your own personal accounts without any harm. If you prefer, you can use the same PC too.
Now let me give you my bit of advice! All what I have said is on the assumption that you are not indulging in anything that violate the Google TOS.
Hope that answers it. Get back with more queries.

Sarath asks: What is Page CTR and page eCPM ?

Violating Google Terms of Service (ToS)
Amarpreet asks: If I open my website several times a day, will it give me a loss?
If I click Google ads for my own interest, will Google ban me?
Answer: Hi Amarpreet, The show begins with you!
Let me start with your second question. Clicking your own ads is against the Google ToS. Clicks must result from genuine user interest. I advise you to refrain from using any other method to generate clicks or impressions. It's like killing the goose that lays golden eggs.
Google introduced such a rule so that the interests of advertisers in the Adwords Program (Adsense ads come from Adwords) remain high, as ever. This is one of the reasons behind the huge success of Adwords that then moved on to Adsense.
Onto your first question now.
That would depend on what exactly you mean by ‘several’. If you have CPM ads and you keep on loading your page continuously with an intention of increasing your impressions, then that can cause a problem, for this can also be treated as a violation of the TOS. That said, it’s ok to open your site a decent number of times and that’s not going to bring you any loss!
But then, when you test ad placement (or design) on a new website, it’s almost necessary to load the pages several times. Though Google is aware about this and is not likely to show you the red card, it’s always better to follow certain things that can help you test your new website risk-free. I will soon come up with an article on ‘Testing your website risk-free’. Stay tuned.
