I wanted to post to the AdSense forum to stat that i did get a mail from AdSense, with an opportunity to turn off AdSense from the site and to change the main site in my account to a site that complies with the AdSense policies. The mail was very polite, and the ads weren't even taken shut down on the site. I had every chance to manually take the code out myself.
It's lucky that I have more than one site. And I now hope that the one I have suggested will does comply with the AdSense standards.
The rejected site in question has been online since 1997, and been my small consulting company's window to the world ever since. However, it is very personal. I don't hide my personal opinions on it. And lately, I have seen more and more references to it as a blog. Today I realized that it is even listed under L on the DMOZ blog category. And under these circumstances I'll just have to accept that the site can't be accepted since it is on a blog, and worse on a personal site...
My only objection is that I haven't changed it's theme one bit since it was accepted as an AdSense site on July 1 2003.
Well maybe I have, just a little. I might have avoided some wordings and even some topics since accepted to AdSense. Some might even say that my keeping back might have hurt the site.
What bugs me though. And I am still kicking myself for this, is that I actually pointed the AdSense team's attention to my site the other day by asking if it would be OK for me to display ads on my pages in Swedish. I asked since I have seen more and more all-Swedish sites running AdSense lately, and even if it was a longshot I thought it was worth a try.
However. The site that AdSense now turned down will live on, and it might even grow from this. It has lots of quality content after all these years (I run it long before there was something called AdSense remember). There is even a big chance that I will move some of the general content pages onto new more tightly themed sites, and this might even turn out to be a good business opportunity.
