People used to complain about the outdated interface and the limited theme (template) selection for Blogger (Blogspot). But nowadays, more developers are racing to design the best theme for Blogger. One of the best premium theme for Blogger is the Fletro Pro v6.0. And here are the reasons why you should buy it!

If want to see how Fletro v6.0, you may take a look at the demo website at https://fletro.jagodesain.com/  or you can see my implementation at https://omu.my.id/. 

If you are interested to use the Fletro Pro 6.0, you can absolutely purchase it for a very reasonable price directly at the designer's website. However, before you do, please read my opinion about this theme first! You may want to know whether it's worth it or not.

I have been using Fletro Pro v6.0 since it came out last May. I have been analyzing the theme's strength and weakness.

The Reasons Why I think Fletro Pro v6.0 Is The Best Premium Blogger Theme

1. Fletro v6.0 is full of useful features

If you are looking for a theme that can be customized in various ways, the Fletro Pro v6.0 is definitely the way to go. It has so many features that you can enable and disable quite easily. If you implement Fletro theme on two websites, you can make each blog to have a different style thanks to the customizable features and layout.

For example, you may choose to enable or disable the special slider content widget on the main page. You can also choose to post using the centered full-read mode without sidebar, just like in the Fletro Lite layout.

To edit the header menu, you are given the easy option of using the link list gadget. You no longer need to edit the HTML in the theme editor to set the main navigation. There is also the option of enabling Grid or List mode to enrich the layout of you blog's main page. 

The text and writing formats are also amazingly diverse.  It's too many but I'd like to mention the image placement layout. I think it's the first time I've seen feature like that in a Blogger theme. You can check them out fully at https://fletro.jagodesain.com/2019/12/all-compose-style.html.

2. Fletro v6.0 has an amazing performance

The Fletro v6.0 is very light weight despite the loaded features. You can tell that the codes are optimized and tidied up nicely.

If you are a serious blogger, you may want a theme that can pass the Lighthouse SEO and performance test. For your information Lighthouse  is a standard tool in web development. It is no surprise that Fletro v6.0 passed with high score scores. You can test it yourself via https://web.dev/measure/.

Fletro Pro v6.0 has very high Lighthouse score.

Now here is the catch, usually when Google Analytic (GA) and AdSense are enabled, your score will drop considerably. In fact, you might get a failing score. But Fletro is different.

I test Fletro v6.0 with Google Analytic and AdSense enabled (OMU.my.id implementation). There is a noticeable drop in performance but it's still pass. The SEO, accessibility and best practice score do not drop much at all! Please note that the passing score is above 49.

Fletro v6.0 with Google Analytic and AdSense,

This phenomenon is actually rare. Many Blogger themes are not designed with AdSense and GA in mind. Therefore the themes' performance will drop significantly when they are enabled and usually the themes get failing scores. Meanwhile, Fletro Pro v6.0 is still capable of achieving high scores because the designers actually pay attention to these problems!

I believe the secrete to the high performance score is the implementation of the lazy loading feature. The Fletro v6.0 is among one of the few themes that have this built-in feature. 

Of course, the scores is not the most single important metric to determine a website performance. However, passing the test is sign of great design and may improve your blog's core web vitals.

3. Cheap Modern Premium Theme

The competitive price is certainly one of the factor that makes  Fletro v6.0 to be the best premium theme! For ONLY $15 to $18, you get to use this modern theme. For the features that you get, $15 is insanely cheap. You get maximum value with low cost.

Other premium themes with similar (or even less) features usually would cost around $25. It's a bargain.

Moreover, if you buy legitimately and abide by the term and condition, you will get life time updates and support! It means that whenever a new version come out, you can upgrade it for free.

Honestly, there are more good things that I can talk about this theme. But if you want to know more, you should try it yourself.

Buy Fletro v6.0 only at the Jago Desain website. Do not attempt to use illegal/pirated copy as they are usually compromised with hacks and unwanted ads. Respect intellectual property, and it's cheap anyway.

Limitation of Fletro Pro v6.0

Nothing in the world is perfect. Fletro v6.0 too does have several limitations in my opinion. First of all, if you want to do advance customization, you definitely need to know a little bit about CSS and HTML.

Because of its many features, this theme is certainly very complex. If you are a beginner, I advise you to practice first using free theme such as Igniel's Fiksioner. They have a little similarity when it comes to layout settings.

In order to use various text style and format, you would need to constantly check the documentation. It can be a bit overwhelming at first.

Another limitation is the type of license that you get. You are not allowed to redistribute the theme. Moreover the theme is limited to three domains maximum. This rule seems to be enforced based on the customer good faith. But I do encourage everyone to respect it.

The Jago Desain Studio

Before I end the article, I'd like to talk about the designer who created this amazing theme for a little bit, the Jago Desain Studio. It is a reputable and experienced developer from Indonesia. I believe the studio was started by Muhammad Maki. 

While still relatively new, the popularity of Jago Design seems to be growing rapidly. In fact it's catching up to other veteran Indonesian Blogger theme designers such as Igniel and Mas Sugeng.

Instead of rehashing old themes, Jago Desain seems to have found its own style. Muhammad Maki manages to bring fresh modern user interface (UI) into the previously flat Blogger themes. Of course, I could find some hints of inspiration from the older veterans but Jago Desain's themes are certainly unique.

While I'm not a programmer myself, Blogger theme designers have captivated my attention greatly and I'd like to discuss them in detail next time.

Please note that I am not sponsored by Jago Desain to promote Fletro Pro v6.0. I am not affiliated in anyway whatsoever other than being a legitimate customer. So, I will disclose my honest opinion about this theme. 

Also, if you have question related to Fletro themes, please address it directly to the designer contact support. I'd rather not disclose the documentation of this theme as I wish to respect the intellectual property of Jago Desain.

This article is a form of my appreciation to the designers and to promote my fellow Indonesians creative minds.

People often use the word copyright incorrectly, especially in the context of blogging. A lot of beginners misunderstand the meaning of copyright and how it may affects their blogs. To protect our published articles in Blogger, we have to understand what copyright really is.

Disclaimer, this article is not meant to be a legal advice.  I have no formal qualification related to law. So, please do not take my words at face value. Furthermore, I'd like to discuss copyright only in the context of blogging. Leave a comment below if you find incorrect information.

There is a misconception that you need to pay in order to have copyright over your articles. This is absolutely wrong. Copyright is something that you automatically acquire when you create an original writing. 

 Read also: How Many Articles Do You Need to Get AdSense Approval for Blogger?

Again, you do not need to pay any money or to register your works to any agency in order to have copyright. Therefore, when you write and publish an original article in your Blogger website, you are the exclusive owner of that article and you automatically have the copyright over it. 

You are free to use or distribute your articles. You can also prohibit other people from using your articles. Essentially, you are free to do whatever you want with your original works because you are the copyright holder.

Without a doubt, protecting your copyright is quite important for bloggers. You do not want other people to steal away your traffic and income.

Google is getting smarter when it comes to detecting duplicates. You do not need to worry as much because duplicate contents are usually punished and ranked lower. However, paying attention to your contents copyright is still the responsible thing to do. You don't want the thief to claim that you are the impostor after all.

Copyright Protection in Blogger

Just because you own the copyright, it doesn't mean that other people will respect your ownership. There is no denying that you own the articles. However, bad guys will still try to steal and copy your works without your authorization. Some people may also unintentionally infringe or violate your copyright.

Copyright is meaningless if you do not protect and enforce it. The protection of your articles copyright will require you to constantly monitor the internet.

Now, the process of protecting your copyright can be done by yourself for free or via paid services. There are several things that you can do to deter bad people from using your work without permission. 

Before we proceed, I'd like to make it clear that paid copyright protection is not copyright registration. As I have mentioned above, you do not to register or pay to have a copyright. You automatically have the copyright over your original articles or other work. Copyright is free but copyright protection can cost money.

By law, your website contents is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In a nut shell, it is a law that will provide you with legal standing to enforce your copyright.

Preventive Measures to Deter Copyright Violation

Here is how you can protect your Blogger articles copyright for free:

Make sure that you have a documentation over your writings. You can do this by having a list of your titles, offline drafts, indexing data, doing regular backup, etc. 

Put copyright logo and notice on your blog. This way, you can warn your visitors that you are actively protecting your articles. It will not prevent bad guy from stealing but it serves as a deterrent and warning.

Register your blog in DMCA website. The website will provides you with several tools for copyright protection. It offers limited free service and you can upgrade it to premium. Having your website listed is free. It's a good thing to do because it may increase the legitimacy of your copyright claim.

Put DMCA protection badge, for example like this: , on your website. It's free and it can deter potential offenders.

The premium or paid version of the DMCA website can be really expensive and may not be worth it if you are small time blogger like me. The paid version offers feature such as monitoring and take down management.

If your government support it, you may also file your copyright formally. This step will help you greatly in case you ever need to go to the court. However, you may need to pay some fee to file your copyright.

Be careful of any website that claims to provide you with copyright registration. That claim is very misleading. The copyright is already yours, those websites are probably only giving you services to protect your copyright.

Reporting Copyright Infringement in Blogger

Bad people may still violate your copyright even though you have done all of the method I've mentioned above. In that case, you can report copyright infringement through several methods.

First, you can contact the offenders directly. You can respectfully ask them via email or other methods to take down copyrighted contents. You can also warn the offenders of the legal consequences if they keep violating your copyright.

If the offenders ignore your request, you can report it directly to the hosting provider or domain owner. This way, the providers may suspend the offenders' websites.

You can also report copyright infringement to Google directly from the following link: https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905?rd=1

The legal troubleshooter tool will help you to identify your problem and submit a request to Google so that the offending content will be removed.

You need to specify the offending content url and put detailed information as much as possible. You will also be required to provide full real name and email address. Usually Google will not take immediate action. Your removal request will be reviewed. It may take several weeks until the stolen content is removed.

The Google form to request copyright removal in Blogger/Blogspot.

Please note that using Google's legal troubleshooter have a legal consequences behind it. If you file a false report, you may also face a consequences.

The information in this notification is accurate and I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 

I will provide you with more detailed information regarding this Google legal troubleshooter and removal request in the next articles.

The last step, if the violation of your copyright cause a serious financial damage, you can always hire a lawyer and sue the offender. You have every right to take this problem to the court providing that you can prove your copyright claim. Unless if the violations is serious, legal battle in the court will not be worth it because it will cost a lot.

Intellectual Property

 To understand copyright, you need to understand what an intellectual property is. Your original creation based on your original thoughts or idea is called intellectual property. It has value even though it is intangible.

There are several type of intellectual properties. The most popular are copyright, trademark, and patent. 

Your original articles are considered as intellectual property. It belongs to the copyright category. For your website logo, it belongs to trademark category. Patent on the other hand, related to blue print and tools design.

Copyright and and trademark are regulated by different kind of law. In other words, your articles and your website logo are regulated differently.

To acquire copyright, as I've said before, it's free and automatic. So, according to the law, your articles are automatically copyrighted under your name.

Copyright will last a lifetime and plus 70 years after you are dead. It means that as long as you are alive, you will always own the copyright of your articles. And if you are dead this year in 2021, you articles will still be copyrighted for 70 years more. In the year of 2091, your copyright will expire and the articles will become public domain.

Meanwhile your website logo is regulated by trademark. You need to register and pay some fee in order to trademark your logo. For small website, logo trademarking is not that important.

Conclusion

What I have explained in this article will only scratch the surface. Copyright and intellectual property in general are very complicated issues. However, if you are a beginner blogger, you do not need to be too stressed over it.

All you need to know is that you automatically own the copyright of your original articles, copyright is free, and copyright protection is important. Furthermore, filing a copyright complain is serious matter and may have legal consequences.

There is no doubt that AdSense approval process can be tricky. Beginners are often discouraged by vague requirements and multiple rejections. One of the most asked questions is the numbers of the articles needed to get AdSense approval.

AdSense does not provide us with a specific number. That's right, there is no specific requirements on how many articles you need to get approval! So, does that mean that we can get approval with just one article? We will discuss this issue further.

First of all, it may be strange for most people that AdSense does not provide an exact number needed for the approval process. Why does AdSense not provide us with more information? The answer is closely related to quantity versus quality.

Read also: Avoid Misrepresentative Content! - How to Minimize AdSense Rejection in Blogger

Value and Relevancy in AdSense Approval

You need to understand the basic concept of monetization. In order to make money, you need to provide useful services. The goal of AdSense is to reward creators who provide valuable and relevant contents.

Now I shall ask you, does the amount of published articles affect the value and relevancy of your website? The answer is yes, but also no.

Of course, when you provide more articles, the value of your website will increase. If you provide more information, your website will become more relevant.

However, the amount of published articles is irrelevant when the quality of the articles is low. If you have a lot of published articles, but the information is not relevant and useless, then the quantity becomes meaningless.

When you have 1000 articles, but those are articles are not valuable, then you will not get AdSense approval. On the other hand, it you have 10 valuable and relevant articles, then it is possible to get approval.

AdSense value the quality of your articles above the quantity. Therefore, it is not possible to set a specific number. This is the reason why there is no requirement for the amount of published article to get approval.

Again, the value and the relevancy of your articles are the big two factors that will affect your chance if approval.

Now let's revise the question: how many valuable and relevant articles do we need to publish to get AdSense approval? Because AdSense doesn't not provide an exact number, then theoretically you can get approval with just one super valuable and relevant article. 

However, in reality, this will not be the case. A website is not just the articles. You need to provide a good website to deliver your content to the users. Your valuable and relevant articles will be useless if your website can not be accessed properly.

The Number of Published Articles Needed to Get AdSense Approval Based on My Experience

In my personal experience, I could get an approval from AdSense with a good functioning website that contains 4 relevant and valuable articles. That happened to me one time. Usually however, I would ask for approval when I have at least 25-30 published articles. 

More is always better, as long as they are all good quality.

So does that mean you will get approval with 25 articles? Not always. Again, because AdSense does not use the quantity of the articles to decide approval, it will assess the quality. If they are deemed to be not valuable enough then you need to improve your website.

So in my opinion, the quantity of your articles should not your main focus. If you get rejected, it is not a big deal. Just add more few valuable and relevant articles, then reapply. 

Tips For Applying for AdSense

1. Do not be too fixated on minimum number of published articles.
2. Quality, relevancy, and then quantity.
3. Do not be too hasty to apply. The more relevant articles that you have published, your chance of approval will be higher. I'd advice you to apply only when you have at least 30 good articles.
   
4. If you are rejected, do not reapply right away. Add 5 more relevant articles every time you got rejected.
5. Take your time and be patience.

Monetizing Blogspot with AdSense is among the most misunderstood methods of earning money online. People want to get paid as fast and as much as they can through this particular platform. There is a myth that getting income from the internet is effortless. In reality, this assumption could not be any more wrong!

AdSense and Blogspot are both free to use. You do not need to pay any fee to participate. They are also not that hard to operate. So it is no brainer that people would be attracted to use them. Making money without spending any cost? Everyone obviously would want to do it. However, I'd like to disclose my opinion on this misleading notion.

I have published several articles regarding how to get AdSense approval using Blogspot. This time, I would like to explain what kind of things that you need to do after your blog has been approved so that you can get real income.

Before you proceed, please note that this article only discuss Blogger with free Blogspot domains. For Blogger with custom domains, the reality will be different.

AdSense Approval and Earning Income

Yes, it is true that creating a Blogspot account is easy. As long as your blog has enough published articles and meets certain qualities, AdSense approval will not be that hard either. Nevertheless, getting AdSense approval and making substantial income are two different things. 

Getting AdSense approval for your Blogspot is arguably easy. However, making actual money from these two platforms are definitely not easy!

Please, keep this point in your mind. When your Blogspot website gets approved by AdSense, it does not mean that you will get money immediately. You will not receive any meaning income instantly.

There are several steps of verification that require weeks or months to complete after the approval process.

You need to verify your ID, PIN, and payment method. These verification processes can only be done after you earn your first $10. For beginner Blogspot and AdSense users, I shall honestly tell you that making $10 will take a long time organically. If you are a newbie, your blog probably will not receive that much visitor. It is not uncommon for a new blog to generate less than $1 per month.

Moreover, you can only withdraw your AdSense income only after you have reached at least $100 in your account balance.

So, if you want to actually make income from AdSense, stop assuming that you will get rich quickly. Stop assuming that you do not need to work hard. Now, you need to start putting some real efforts into your websites and be patience!

If someone tells you that you can make money fast through Blogspot and AdSnese, that person is most likely a scammer.

The Key to Earn Meaningful Income from AdSense

So here is the important keyword, visitors. If your Blogspot website gets a lot of visitor, your income will steadily increase. For a new user, finding a steady source of traffic is a challenging task. It is actually not easy things to do even for experienced users.

To increase the number of the visitors, you need to be consistent with your posting schedule and maintain your articles' quality. Never stop posting and do not ever take a break from making contents if you want to actually earn from AdSense.

People often stop making content consistently after they have received AdSense approval. If you don't make relevant content, then how can you be attracting visitors?

Beginners often ask me, "Can I get AdSense approval with 30 published posts?". Well, you can. But I shall ask you a rhetorical question, do you really think you can make substantial amount of money from AdSense with only 30 published post? Absolutely not. You have to keep writing.

You need to keep your articles fresh, original, and relevant so that people want to spend their time at your Blogspot website. You want to keep your visitor as long as possible inside your blog. Increase your visitor engagement.

In my experience, you will start to get steady income when your blog receives at least 1000 visitors per day from Google Search. Traffic from organic source such as Google is the most valuable. You will not earn as much if your traffic mainly comes from social media or referrals.

Challenge for Blogspot Users

The free domain of Blogspot may become your website's bottleneck. People usually are less inclined to trust websites with blogspot domain. For example, you are more likely to read news from websites that have .com domain. You probably think that news from Blogspot websites are less reliable.

Does Blogspot domain always lose against .com? Not always, some of the articles from this blog are among top 10 in Google Search result. Is there any merit in using free Blogspot domain? Yes, in some cases. For example, Blogspot domain is not that bad if you want to monetize personalized contents. If you are an expert about a particular subject, Blogspot domain is a viable option.

If you insist on using Blogspot domain for AdSense monetization, then you should stay away from general or popular subjects. Bigger websites will most likely beat you. People would read BBC rather than clicking your Blogspot website for cricket news. Be smart with your topic!

There is power in number. One Blogspot website may not provide you with much income. But imagine if you have 50 running websites. One AdSense account can handle multiple Blogspot websites. You can accumulate your income from those blogs. However, this strategy is only realistic if you have time to manage and create contents for 50 Blogspot webs.

In the end, custom domain for Blogger does offer more flexibility on your topic choices. The small downside is that you need to pay about $10 per year. So, if you want to make actual money, do not be a cheapskate, pay the small fee for a .com domain and go compete with other bigger websites!

Is monetizing a Blogspot website worth doing it?

Yes, if you are not expecting a regular income. Think of it as an additional allowance. For some people, getting AdSense approval is a badge of honor. The are not focused on the money. The fact that AdSense approves your Blogspot website is quite a big deal. It gives you a bragging right and it's quite nifty when you can say that "Google paid me", even though it's not much.

 If you want to get paid regularly, then you probably need a .com domain or other methods.

Earning substantial income from Blogspot with AdSense program is theoretically possible. However, it is not the most practical thing to do. If you insist on using Blogspot, be ready to face a lot of challenges.

Do not stop creating articles, keep learning, be realistic, and be consistent!

AdSense is one of the best monetization program that can be combined with blogger.com, free blogging platform. If your blog is qualified, you may insert various type of ads inside your articles and themes. One of the ad formats provided by AdSense is called anchor ads.

Previously only available on mobile, anchor ads will now be displayed on wider screens as well, including desktop. AdSense provides you with a chance to get more income by displaying non-intrusive ads to your visitors who use desktop and other wide screen devices.

Anchor ads is small rectangular ads that will be shown on the bottom or top edge of the visitor's screen, after the web page is loaded. The ads will also float or stick to edge of the monitor as the readers scroll up and down. Because of its high visibility, Anchor ads is popular among advertisers.

You can check how AdSense anchor ad will be displayed on desktop through Ad Settings Preview option.

For publishers or AdSense users, this ad format is also quite favored. It is non-intrusive to the visitors because this ads can be dismissed easily. 

Anchor ad is a sticky ad that will float along on top of your content. It means that visitors will keep seeing this ads, unless if it is dismissed. That way you will get more ad impression and, thus, the chance of visitors clicking this type of ads will also be higher.

How to Enable AdSense Anchor Ad on Desktop

After July 19th, 2021, AdSense anchor ad will be automatically displayed on desktop. If you have enabled anchor ad for mobile viewers,  your AdSense account will automatically enable this option.

So, you don't really have to do anything. 

If you want to disable anchor ad on desktop, you can choose to do so via your AdSense account. Go to Ads > Overview and you will see a list of your websites at the bottom. Select Edit  and on the right sidebar, select Ad formats. If you scroll down, you will see anchor ads setting and its wide screen setting. 

You may disable or re-enable this option anytime, but don't forget to select Apply to site every time you modify your ad settings.

AdSense Anchor ad for Desktop

Anchor ad will no longer be exclusive to smaller screen of mobile phones. It means that visitors will start to see anchor ad on their desktop or laptop screens.

Let it be known that you couldn't display sticky AdSense ad on dekstop or laptop before. It means that you could only rely on other formats such as display in-page and in-article ad.

This new anchor ad behavior update is similar to the Vignette ads or full screen ad that appears between page loads. Previously, the vignette ad was only available in smartphone. It was then enabled on desktop as well, just like the new anchor ad.

For blog owners who use AdSense, this is a great news. Now, you get more opportunity and space to display more ads and monetize your desktop views using this updated anchor ad format.

AdSense stated that the anchor ad will behave in a manner that will not disturb visitors. This ad will be loaded only after the visitors scroll down. It means that the ads will not cover your navigation menu if it is loaded on the top edge of the desktop screen.

In my opinion, this new desktop anchor ads will be mostly displayed on the bottom edge of the screen. That way, it will not distract visitors. It won't also cover much of your content. However, as of right now, I don't think there is an option that allow us to determine the anchor ads position.

Nevertheless, anchor ads positioning on desktop should not be a problem as AdSense itself is striving to be less intrusive. Overtime, I believe it will be more optimized.

Should You Enable Anchor Ads on Desktop?

Please be aware that enabling anchor ad on desktop may not immediately show positive effect on your income. Your visitors may be cautious to click this new ad format because they are unfamiliar with the new placement. Some visitors may also think think that the sticky anchor ads on desktop is intrusive, even though it is actually easy to hide.

It is important to find a balance between the amount ads shown on your website and the user-friendliness. Too many ads will in fact chase visitors away. Proportional amount of ads will provide you with optimum income, richer contents, and happy visitors.

In order to be accepted by AdSense, you are required to have a website or blog that has been finished. If you submit a website that is still under construction or development, you will be rejected. There are many type of AdSense violations that will cause rejection, one of them is Valuable Inventory: No Content.

This type of rejection is often encountered by beginner bloggers with newly created websites.  A lot of people are impatient to monetize their blog. As a result, the rate of AdSense rejection is very high.

The Valuable Inventory: No Content violation is a type of violation that will appear when you apply with a blog that doesn't have enough content or no content at all. It is quite self-explanatory but for beginners, it can be quite confusing.

Valuable Inventory: No content is a common AdSense violation.

 Fixing Valuable Inventory: No Content

To minimize this type of  AdSense violation from happening, you should submit a blog that already has at least 30 well-written articles. You can get approval with less than that. However, when you have a lot of published posts, AdSense will detect that your website is finished and ready to be monetized. Your chance of approval will go up significantly!

Of course, just having a lot of articles will not guarantee approval. A blog that has low quality content may also trigger Valuable Inventory: No content violation. AdSense may asses that your content is worthless.

Therefore, you need to have quality articles. Based on my experience, here are the general characteristics of a well-written article:

• Original article, not copied from other websites.
• Unique writing style.
• Contains at least 800 words.
• Contains non-copyrighted image.
• Contains internal and external links to reputable source.
• Easy to read.
• Tidy formatting.
  

Valuable Inventory: No content will appear when your blog only contain few published posts, few words, only embedded video or image, scrapped articles, machine-generated articles, and so on.

To summarize, you can fix Valuable Inventory: No content violation by having a lot of published posts and those posts have to be high quality.

However, sometimes you may have done those two main things but you still receive this violation. It can happen because of several other reasons:

Broken theme or scripts

AdSense may not be unable to assess the content of your website properly because of errors in your theme or template. Change your theme!

Slow loading speed

AdSense will not be able to asses your website properly if it loads too long. Slow loading speed can be caused by heavy theme or bad server (if you are using non-Blogger platform).

Doing major changes during review period

It generally takes up to two weeks for AdSense to review your blog. If during the review period you did a major modification to your website, AdSense will not be able to complete the review properly, thus you will receive rejection.

Indexing problem

Simply put, indexing is a process to list your website into Google search result. This way visitors will be able to discover your content easily. If your website is private or can not be indexed, AdSense may also be unable to discover your content as well.

Wrong robots.txt setting will cause indexing problem. Do not modify your robots.txt if you do not know what you are doing. For Blogger users, leave the robots.txt setting as default.  This way, AdSense crawler will be able to find your blog and review your content.

Do not forget to check how to index your posts using Google Search Console at the following article: "How to Index Blogger Post Using Google Search Console Tool - Basic Search Engine Optimization".

The Key to AdSense Approval is Patience
