    I started blogging on hubpage and applied for Adsense account and got approved then later disapproved after a 'review'.

    I then applied for an account for my blog (http://www.topratedtips.com) of course after waiting for more than 6 month and it was rejected for 'insufficient content' after adding and waiting for some months, I resubmitted my application and it was rejected for 'site doesn't comply with Google policies'.

    My question is, what is so amiss with this blog? What is not complying with Google Adsense Policies? l need to know before reapplying.

    Thanks in advance for helping out.

    That is Google's polite way of telling you the site sucks.
    "Top rated" "Ten tips" sites tend to not be approved these days.
    Sites with health/medical advice need to have some "authoritativeness" --> you have none.
    There is nothing unique or compelling and the site adds no value to the web. Everything on the site is already on a zillion other sites.

    I'd almost recommend a kind of "first rule of fight club is don't talk about fight club" approach to adsense.

    I'd also recommend a bit of humility when writing your profile
    It may be true but it's a bit obnoxious.

    don't forget to get someone to proof your work

    Your domain is about "Tips" so try to write latest unique tips & tutorials and then try again with GA.

    Wow, I'm humbled.. these are honest reviews.. About uniqueness, I have seen sites running AdSense ads yet there is nothing remotely original on them.. Anyway, that shouldn't be an excuse..

    Is there any hope for my blog? I mean, can I monetize it? If yes what do you suggest.. Thanks for being candid with me.. it is what I need..
