1:06Ep 4: Page-level vs site-level policy violations
Myth: one policy email means your whole site lost its ads.
Lesson notes
Myth: one policy email means your whole site lost its ads.
AdSense enforces policy at two levels: a single page, or the whole site.
Open Policy center. Say recipes.example gets a page level enforcement on one post. Ads stop on that URL only. The other nine hundred ninety nine pages keep earning. Fix that page, then request a review. Site level is different. Google names the violation and shows one example URL. That’s a sample, not the full list. Fix every page with the same problem, then request a review for the site. Two more statuses. Restricted means fewer advertisers can bid, so ads still show but earn less. At risk is a warning with a fix by date. Fix it in time to avoid enforcement.
Today, open Policy center and note each issue’s level and status.
Next: invalid traffic deductions, why the final number is lower.
