What is Low value Content? How To Fix Low Value Content?

Hi, Friends, My name is Himanshu Saini Today in This Article i Will Explain What is Low value Content is? How To Fix Low Value Content?

Low-Value Content

How about the definition of high-quality content?

Based on my understanding, high-quality content should be in long-textual form, original, well-written, informative, valuable, and unique. I will list down some key points for each characteristic, so listen carefully and check whether your content matches these characteristics or not. Key points about original content were mentioned just now, so I will skip original content and move on to long-textual form and well-written parts.

The basic of content is that it’s made out of different combinations of words that express the idea you want to share with your readers. The focus here is texts and words, so don’t try to publish a bunch of images and say,

“This is a content”,

it will not be accepted by Google AdSense. No matter how informative these images are, you have to convert the information in these images to textual-form content and make sure there are enough words in your post. So how many words per post is considered enough to be accepted by Google AdSense. Some people say at least 500 words, some say above 1000 words. The truth is, there is no fixed minimum number of words per post, but my suggestion is you should write at least 800 words per post to make it looks long enough. It is not a compulsory requirement and not all your content has to be over 800 words.

Sometimes you can publish short content but don’t make it too short. After you write long content, you should arrange them nicely and accordingly to your structure. You can arrange your content with an introduction, a few body parts, and an ending. To make your content attractive, you can insert some images between a few paragraphs, let the text-to-image ratio be around 7-3 or 6-4.

Just don’t arrange all your content into a single paragraph without any spacing and image, it affects user experience as it is hard to finish reading your content. These are all the things you should know to make your content valuable and informative Your content has to provide additional information or anything that is not well known.

For example, if you want to write something about one of the social media,

let’s take WhatsApp as an example here,
let’s take WhatsApp as example here,

it is OK to write anything about WhatsApp in your content. But whether your content is high quality or not is totally based on your idea and writing style. If you want to talk about WhatsApp in a general or very common way, like

What is WhatsApp? When was WhatsApp founded?

or how many users are there in WhatsApp, They are considered as low-value content even you combine them into a single post. You may ask me why is it?

Because these “What is” : “When” : and “How” , are very common and general.

You can find the correct answers on so many sites such as Wikipedia and your content doesn’t provide anything new or valuable to your readers if you write with those questions mentioned just now Users can easily search their questions and answers that are available in so many credible, well-established site. So why should they look for the same answer on your site? But you could still create high-quality content about WhatsApp by writing something not many people mentioned or discussed in detail before. Such as its history and the development track, how it was acquired by Facebook, why all founders of WhatsApp left etc.

Write content in your own unique way after you have studied this information and data for a long time And then arrange information to a good post structure and your content could be high quality as long as you make it be attractive and easy to understand.

Third reason: Your content or niche is fall on

The prohibited list that I will show later. There are many people asking about the same problem about getting rejection with low-value content everywhere So I studied around 50 cases of low-value content on Google AdSense Community and Quora, you can find these questions easily on these sites and you can study your own if you want After I briefly check through these websites, I found some similarities and I summarized them into a list.

For anyone who has this content on your website, you should try to improve your writing style, remove some posts, or even delete all content as they have higher chance to be one of the reasons why there is low-value content on your website.

Now I’m going to show you a few example websites that got rejected by Google AdSense with Low Value Content. But I won’t call these websites out, instead,

3 Examples Of Low value Content.

I will replace their name with the alphabet A-B-C.

The first example website named “A” has many problems to fix when I enter this site. For example, these social medial icons aren’t functioning properly at all because these icons don’t redirect users to social media.

It is much better to remove these icons if you don’t really want to link them properly as this problem is categorized as navigation or under construction issue by Google AdSense. But how about the content and its quality on this website? You may look at the first page and guess what are the topics of the recent posts. I noticed that Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and LiteCoin is the main content on the first page, and there are a few posts related to forex trading too. However, Crypto and Forex are 2 types of content on my prohibited list and the content published on this website seems like some kind of thin content that AdSense doesn’t like.

Because these posts are common and most of them are short-form content. Besides. when I checked back some of the earliest posts in website A , I found out more serious problems exist on this site.

For example, this post named XYZ published on 20th April last year, already let this website stay away from getting Google AdSense approval. There is one of the sensitive content in this post and examples of sensitive content include politics, XXX Not to mention this post make a judgment about the COVID-19 pandemic without providing any solid, credible evidence related to COVID-19.

Google AdSense will not accept any site that spread misinformation, especially about COVID-19 in the past 2 years. Another issue arising from this website is plagiarism. To put it simply, some content in site A were scraped or directly copied from another site. Look at one of the examples I found on this website, this post with some information about the 6 largest technology listed companies in the United States was scraped from CBNC’s article. Just spend a few seconds to see how similar they are. Apart from that, the latest post about Bitcoin has also been scraped from another site The source I found was published in early 2021 while this scraped content was published this month. Just look at the content and see how similar are they. Even the blogger theme they are using is the same, so who is the copycat right now?

By making plagiarism testing on some content in website A, the results clearly state that website A has been severely scraped content from CNBC and other websites. These irresponsible actions are called stealing because the whole content was directly copied from other sites with changing a few words only. This is not good behavior and the best thing site A owner should do now is to remove all scraped content published on its website ASAP.

Let’s move on to the next case named website B, it is a blog set up on the Blogger platform.

I can detect what is wrong with site B at my first glance at the content. When your content involves keywords such as “How to Earn Money”, “Few Ways to make Online earnings”, “Tips to make money” or anything simply involves making money, Google AdSense often marks most of such content as Low Value content.

So you should never write about “making money” or “online earnings” if you really want your website to be approved by Google AdSense. You can see another issue arising from this post, the problem here is the author used 2 languages on a single post. This post has an English title but the content was written in Hindi, it is not a good practice to write content in such a way from my perspective.

Besides, site B provides thin content that has little information or even no additional information. For example, the topics in this post are “what is spam” and “few ways to reduce spam”. But simply writing anything with “What is”. “How to”, and “few tips to”, are all low value content as they can be easily found by searching on Google and another credible website like Wikipedia. Such content will always be a low-value content unless you can add something valuable or unique into the same post.

However, “few ways to reduce spam” here is not really good content too, they are too short and there are no strong and convincing materials to strengthen the points here. Just merely look at intro, post body, and outro, this post is not a high-quality post and the number of words here should be less than 800 words. Therefore, the first thing website B should do is remove those contents with “how to make money” and improve the quality of some published posts Let’s move on to website C. Site C is a job recruitment website and it is much harder for this kind of website to get Google AdSense approval.

Because Job recruitment posts are not content at all. You have to provide high-quality content, or else don’t hope for Google AdSense approval on your website.

So after showing 3 low-value content examples, this is the prohibited list and you should avoid writing the following content before you get Google AdSense approval, including :

General & Common Technology
News
Healthcare
Cryptocurrencies
Forex
Sports
Anything with “How to” or “What is
Poetry or Motivational Quotes
Online Earnings or How to make money
Products Review and Affiliate sites
Jobs Application website and etc.

It is better to avoid writing these contents unless you are confident that you provide something informative, valuable, and unique. If your content has been written by many people across different websites, then it is not unique anymore, and it might degrade to low-value content too. But after your website is approved by Google AdSense, you are free to do anything and write any types of content you like, including those contained in the prohibited list, as long as it stipulates with AdSense policy Therefore, you should always remember to choose your content and niche nicely.

The next part is going to be a Q&A session, I’m going to share my experience and thoughts on some of the myths I found out when I searched for some websites with low-value content. Besides, I’m also taking my 4 AdSense approved blogs as examples in my explanation in this Q&A session.

Let’s start now.

Q1: Will my blog or website theme templates lead to low-value content?

A: No, AdSense has clearly stated about your “content”,

so just focus on improving your content quality,

it is your sole priority.

Q2: I didn’t provide the important page completely,

such as About Me and Privacy Policy,

does it cause my website got rejected with Low Value Content?

A: Same as Question 1 . No it wouldn’t,

important pages are not a factor in Low-Value content.

Actually, pages are not compulsory to get Google AdSense approval from my personal experience. For example, my fourth blog, a merely 2 months old blog named WindyClover has 3 indexed important pages only (not including About Me & Contact Me) but still can get AdSense approval in early September. So I’m not quite sure about whether pages are essential or not : in getting AdSense approval, but it is still better to add these important pages to your website to increase your credibility and trustworthiness.

Q3: Will my website got rejected with Low Value Content

because it is less than 6 months old?

A: You could be rejected by AdSense with

Valuable Inventory No Content or Under Construction in early stage But your website age is not a factor in low value content. Even a new blog can get Google AdSense approval, my 2nd and 3rd blogs, Jaxx Invest and Foolly-Foodie are less than 1 month old when they got their approval.

Q4: I’m sure my website has unique and high-quality content, but why does AdSense still reject me with Low Value Content?

A: Many people say such thing too when they are rejected by Google AdSense. There are many reasons on your rejection, but the most important thing is, AdSense thinks your content are low value from their perspective.

Q5: Why another site with some content that should be low value still can get Google AdSense approval.

A: Maybe these websites were approved by Google AdSense years ago when the approval is kind of less strict compared to now. Also, after your website got AdSense approval, you are free to write anything, even a sentence or two is also content as long as you don’t write something harmful. such as s_x, gamb_e, dr_gs, or weapon, etc.

Q6: Can I write financial content on my website ? Could my website be rejected with Low Value Content if I did so?

A: You can write financial content on a website and get Google AdSense approval too. My 2nd blog written in English is a financial theme blog and I managed to let this One-month-old blog get its AdSense approval in April 2021. It could be harder to get AdSense approval for financial websites, but as long as you can clearly introduce yourself and your past experience on the About Me page & provide a bunch of unique content your website is eligible to receive Google AdSense approval. When my 2nd blog got its approval, I have already published 5 to 6 financial posts

to share some knowledge about Initial Public Offering (IPO), it is the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public and also the listing of a company on the stock market. Instead of simply writing what is IPO and how to apply IPO. I categorized my content into different sections after I studied some information and rules about IPO in my country. This content was split into steps to apply IPO using a different bank, checking for the balloting results and how to analyze the result,

How to know an IPO earlier than others as well as the introduction of uncommon tricks to apply IPO. Most of these posts have quite many images and the average number of words per post are 1200 words, the more words per post you have, the higher the chance to get Google AdSense approval. Apart from using tons of words and images in each post, you should also take care of content quality. For example, if you are writing for a financial blog, don’t try to publish content like “How to earn money”,

“How to start a business”,

“5 ways for a student to earn by work from home” and etc.

As I have stated in the previous example and in the prohibited list, these contents are forbidden to appear on your website before your site is approved by Google AdSense as they are useless, normal, common, and not unique at all.

Last Question: Can you help me get Google AdSense approval on my website?

A: I can provide you with some opinions build a website or blog likely to be approved by Google AdSenseFREE and without any charges.
