Before applying for AdSense, check whether your site offers useful original content, works reliably and is ready for a policy review. A technical scan can identify some public website issues. It cannot decide whether Google will approve the application.
Separate eligibility from technical readiness
Google’s eligibility guidance covers original content, policy compliance, access to the site’s HTML and the account holder’s age. Applicants must be at least 18; Google describes a parent or guardian account route for younger creators. A working homepage alone does not establish these conditions.
Make two lists: issues you can observe on a public page, and questions that require the owner’s records or account. Keep content permissions, traffic sources and account information in the second list. Do not enter private documents into a public checker.
Review three representative pages
Open your homepage, a normal article and a page containing a table or interactive feature on a phone. Can a visitor understand the purpose immediately, reach the main content and follow the navigation? Test the links you actually show rather than assuming a page exists because its menu label is present.
For an original practical audit, write one intended reader task beside each page. On a tutorial, that might be completing a process without guessing the next step. On a calculator, it might be understanding the inputs and reproducing the result. Rewrite passages that do not help that task.
Check content and privacy practices
Review your material against the Google Publisher Policies. Confirm that you have the necessary rights to text and images. If Google products collect or process visitor information, review the privacy disclosures that apply to your setup. A scanner detecting a privacy link has not reviewed the notice’s wording.
Use a scan to make a repair list
Run the AdSense readiness checker on the public domain. For each observation, record the URL, the result and the next manual check. If ads.txt needs investigation, use the live ads.txt checker to inspect the served file rather than copying random seller records.
Example: “Homepage reachable, policy link recognized, file response unavailable” describes three observations. It does not mean “approved” or “rejected.” Resolve the unavailable response and read the linked policy yourself.
Where to check the real review status
Google’s site connection guide directs publishers to the Sites area in AdSense for review information. For Blogger’s hosted application route, follow the instructions offered in your Blogger account. Keep account-specific verification inside the official interface.
Common questions
Will publishing a fixed number of posts guarantee approval?
This guide and our checker do not certify a post-count threshold. Evaluate whether the published pages answer their intended questions and meet the applicable policies.
Should I apply again after every small edit?
First read the actual message in your account. Finish a coherent repair list and follow the review options Google provides; a third-party tool cannot bypass that process.
