I'm going to apply for Adsense for my Travel Blog. This blog is about 8 months old with 100+ posts. I need your suggestions, please have a look on my blog and suggest me if there is something wrong. Url: http://myfuturetrips.com/ Thanks
these images are enhanced/optimized after getting from different sites. TinEye/Google Image reverse tracking cant find the same/orignal images etc. what do you say?
If you have unique and updated articles on your blog then there is no reason to get decline from adsense. All The Best
Isn't it a better way to guide/educate the people in the right direction, instead of being harsh with them suddenly? So what solution you suggest to solve the imagtes issue? should these page indexed or all images get removed?
How do you treat those who steal from you? I treat them with the contempt that they deserve Of course the images that are stolen should be removed!!! I got two sites taken down by the hosts last month who stole my images. Do you not comprehend just how illegal and the seriousness of what you have done?
No no. these are not stolen pics, these are Creative Commons-licensed content to modify, adapt, or build upon. I retouched these images.
FYI a little known fact about creative commons licenses...there are different types! 3 of the types don't allow commercial use (i.e. monetizing your blog with google adsense) and a 4th doesn't allow 'touching up' via photoshop. ALL of the creative commons types require that you attribute the artwork to the author that created it (i.e. mention their name in your article). You might actually get approved for adsense, but you'll either get banned, or eventually get caught, which could give you bigger issues. The best way to resolve this is to find pictures conforming to the CC BY license, and make sure to mention the author as the original copyright holder of the picture. The other thing you can do is take your own pictures of those locations. Just remember, it's not US you need to convince, it's Google as well as the copyright holders of that content. If a copyright holder finds his/her pictures on your site, they can easily have you both banned from adsense, as well as your site taken down by your host. If they REALLY wanted to get nasty they could pursue legal action against you. Good luck!
What an absolute load of shite! Page views has NOTHING to do with approval or not. Why do you make this stuff up for? What is our motivation to lie?
Yes, it looks perfect, unique articles, beautiful photos, but I suggest you to add contact and Privacy Policy pages before applying to Google Adsense.
