Google Adsense and earning money with your blog.

I have been trying to take advantage of a feature of Blogger and generate some earnings by displaying ads on my blog.  To do so, I have to have a Google AdSense account.

Apparently, they do not like to advertise on blogs that are actually interesting.  Here is the text of the rejection email I got today:

 
Thank
you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after reviewing your
application, we're unable to accept you into AdSense at this
time.
 
We
did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.


Insufficient
content
: To be approved for AdSense and show relevant ads on your site,
your pages need to have enough text on them for our specialists to review and
for our crawler to be able to determine what your pages are about.

To
resolve this issue, please work through the following suggestions:

  • Make sure that your pages have sufficient text - websites that contain mostly images, videos or Flash animations will not be approved.
  • Your content should contain complete sentences and paragraphs, not only headlines.
  • Ensure that your website is fully built and launched before you apply for AdSense - do not apply while your site’s still in a beta or “under construction” phase or only consists of a website template.
  • Place the ad code on a live page of your website. It does not have to be the main page, but test pages that are empty except for the AdSense ad code will not be approved.
  • Provide a clear navigation system for your visitors so that they can easily find all of the sections and pages of your website.
  • If you’d like to monetize YouTube videos, please apply for the YouTube monetization program. Note that blogs and websites that contain only videos will not be approved.

If I can't make money with advertising on my blog then there is no reason to spend money to run an ad for it with Google.
Funny how that works.
