It is the single most crushing email a Blogger admin can receive. You've spent weeks, or even months, writing high-quality articles, and you finally apply for AdSense. Then, the email arrives: **"We found some policy violations on your site... Low-value content."**

Your first reaction is confusion. "But my content is original! I wrote 1,500 words on AI model analysis!"

I've been there, and I want to share my **Experience (the first 'E' in E-E-A-T)**. After multiple rejections, I learned a hard lesson: **"Low-value content" is almost never about your *articles*. It's Google's code for "Low-trust content."**

Google's AdSense team needs to know your site is a legitimate, professional, and trustworthy operation run by a real person. If your site *looks* anonymous, broken, or unprofessional, they won't even *read* your articles. They will just stamp "low-value" and move on.

I created this 7-step guide to fix the *real* trust issues that cause this rejection and get your Blogger site approved.

The 7-Step Guide to Fix "Low-Value Content" on Blogger

Follow these steps *before* you click "re-apply." This is the exact checklist I use.

Step 1: Create Your "Big 3" Trust Pages (The #1 Fix)

This is the most important step. An anonymous site is a low-trust site. You must prove you are a real, accountable person. You do this with three essential pages:

  1. The "About Us" Page: Proves *who* you are and establishes your **Expertise (E)** and **Authoritativeness (A)**.
  2. The "Contact Us" Page: Proves you are *reachable* and accountable, building **Trustworthiness (T)**.
  3. The "Privacy Policy" Page: Proves you are a *professional* entity that follows legal requirements.

A site missing these pages screams "amateur" to an AdSense reviewer. You cannot get approved without them.

My Solution (E-E-A-T): I built free tools to create these pages *perfectly*. They are designed to generate AdSense-compliant, professional pages that signal high trust.

Step 2: Fix Your "Experience" (E-E-A-T)

Don't just write about a topic; show you have *first-hand experience* with it. This is the new "Experience" 'E' in E-E-A-T.

  • Bad (No Experience): "The new AI model is said to be very fast."
  • Good (Shows Experience): "I ran the new AI model on my own machine, and it was 30% faster than the previous version. Here is a screenshot of my benchmark test."

As a tech blogger, you must show you actually *use* the tech you write about. This post is an example: I'm not just *telling* you about an error, I'm *showing* you how I personally fixed it.

Step 3: Fix Your Site Navigation

Another common rejection is "Site Navigation issues." This is part of the "low-value" problem. If a reviewer can't find your content or your trust pages, your site is broken.

  • Your main menu (header) must be simple.
  • You MUST link to your "About," "Contact," and "Privacy Policy" pages in your header or footer. They must be easy to find.
  • Create a simple, helpful Custom 404 Page so users aren't lost when they hit a dead link.

Step 4: Fix Technical Indexing Errors

Google can't value your content if it can't *find* it. This is a huge red flag.

Check your Google Search Console "Pages" report. Do you see the "Excluded by 'noindex' tag" error? This is a common Blogger bug. If you do, your content isn't being indexed at all. I wrote a separate guide on the *exact* steps to fix the 'noindex' bug in Blogger.

Step 5: Fix Your Content Originality

This is the most "obvious" step, but it must be said. You cannot copy/paste articles, and you cannot use AI "spinners" to rewrite content. For a tech blog, this also means:

  • Don't just copy/paste a company's press release for a new product.
  • Don't let an AI tool write your entire article. Google can tell.
  • You *can* use AI for ideas or outlines, but the final content, analysis, and experience must be **yours**.

Step 6: Fix Your "Unprofessional" Layout

Does your site *look* broken or amateurish? This signals "low-value."

  • Are your images sideways? This is a common bug with phone photos. It looks terrible and unprofessional. Use a Free Image Rotator to fix them before uploading.
  • Is your site super slow? Slow load times are a major "poor user experience" signal. This is usually caused by huge, unoptimized images. Use a Free Image Compressor to make them smaller and faster.

Step 7: Re-Apply (And Be Patient)

After you have fixed ALL 6 of the steps above, do the following:

  1. Go to Google Search Console and use the "Validate Fix" button for any errors (like 'noindex').
  2. Wait. Don't re-apply immediately. Wait a week or two for Google to re-crawl your site and see the new trust pages and fixes.
  3. Once your pages are indexing and your site looks professional, go to your AdSense dashboard and resubmit your application.

Your "Low-Value Content" Questions

How many articles do I need to get AdSense approval?

There is no magic number. Stop focusing on *quantity* and focus on *quality and trust*. 15 high-quality, original articles on a high-trust site (with all the E-E-A-T signals from this guide) is better than 100 low-quality, copy/pasted articles on a site with no "About" page.

Can I use AI to write my blog posts for AdSense?

You can use AI for *help* (like outlines or research), but if you just copy/paste a 100% AI-generated article, you will likely be rejected for "low-value content." Why? Because it lacks real **Experience (E-E-A-T)**. Google wants content from real experts who have actually used the products they review. Use AI as a tool, not as your entire writer.

My site is indexed, but I still got "low-value content." Why?

This means you passed the *technical* test (Step 4) but failed the *trust* test (Step 1, 2, 3, or 6). The most likely cause is a missing "About Us," "Contact Us," or "Privacy Policy" page. The reviewer couldn't verify who you are, so they couldn't trust your content.
