Adsense rejected me 3 times for "Low value content" - Is this traffic growth good for a site launched on May 11?

https://preview.redd.it/9zr263p34vah1.png?width=1877&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1ab826de700fb53b8b564d4de6fff53d245504d

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some honest feedback from people who have already been approved by AdSense.

I launched my job website interactjob.ma on May 11, so it's been about 7 weeks (today is July 2).

According to Google Search Console:

  • 🚀 60.4K impressions
  • 👆 1.68K clicks
  • 📈 2.8% CTR
  • 🎯 Average position: 7.2

(Screenshot attached)

The frustrating part is that Google AdSense has rejected my application 3 times, always with the reason:

>

The website is focused on job listings in Morocco. I publish new jobs almost every day and also have company pages and career-related content.

I'm trying to understand whether:

  • Is this considered good SEO growth for a brand new website?
  • Does the Search Console data suggest the site is on the right track?
  • What usually causes the "Low value content" rejection even when traffic is growing?
  • Should I wait a few more months before applying again, or is there something specific I should improve first?

I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have been through this.

Thanks!

J'ai analysé plus de 200 avis négatifs sur Testimonial.to et Senja avant de créer mon propre outil de témoignages.

J'ai passé deux semaines à lire tous les avis négatifs (1 étoile) que j'ai pu trouver sur G2, Capterra et Trustpilot concernant les outils de collecte de témoignages.

Le constat était clair :

→ Testimonial.to facture 80 $/mois uniquement pour les extraits enrichis Google (les notes qui apparaissent dans les résultats de recherche Google).

→ Senja limite son offre gratuite à 15 témoignages.

→ La plupart des outils vous obligent à souscrire à des formules « avec marque » pour supprimer leur logo.

J'ai donc créé WallTrust : témoignages illimités, extraits enrichis et sans marque, le tout à partir de 7 $/mois.

Je suis actuellement sur liste d'attente pour walltrust.app avant le lancement officiel. D'autres personnes ont-elles rencontré les mêmes problèmes de tarification avec ces outils ?

I analyzed 200+ negative reviews of Testimonial.to and Senja before building my own testimonial tool

Spent 2 weeks reading every 1-star review I could find on G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot for testimonial collection tools.

The pattern was clear:
→ Testimonial.to charges $80/mo just for Google Rich Snippets (the star ratings that show up in Google search)
→ Senja caps free plans at 15 testimonials total
→ Most tools force you into "branding" tiers to remove their logo

So I built WallTrust unlimited testimonials, Rich Snippets, and no branding, all from $7/mo.

Currently in waitlist mode at walltrust.app before full launch. Anyone here dealt with the same pricing frustration on these tools?

I built a free HR calculator tool (Calcento) to simplify payroll + workplace math would love feedback

Hey everyone 👋

I just launched a small project called Calcentohttps://calcento.com

It’s a free collection of HR and payroll calculators designed to make workplace math simple and transparent.

🧮 What it does:

Right now it includes tools like:

  • Pay Raise Calculator
  • Overtime Pay Calculator
  • Employee Turnover Rate Calculator
  • PTO Accrual Calculator
  • Cost of Turnover Calculator

Each tool runs instantly in the browser and also explains the formula in plain English.

🧠 Why I built it:

I’ve worked in HR for over 10 years, and I kept running into the same problem:

People constantly ask questions like:

  • “What does a 5% raise actually mean in real money?”
  • “How do we calculate turnover properly?”
  • “How much is overtime really costing us?”
  • “How much PTO has actually been earned?”

And the truth is — these are simple calculations, but:

  • spreadsheets confuse people
  • existing tools are cluttered or gated behind sign-ups
  • formulas are rarely explained clearly

So I built Calcento to make these answers:

>

⚡ What makes it different:

  • No login required
  • No spreadsheets
  • No ads blocking the result
  • Every calculation shows the formula behind it
  • Designed for real HR/workplace use cases

🤔 Would love feedback on:

  • Is this actually useful outside HR circles?
  • Would you trust a tool like this for real decisions?
  • What other calculators would you expect here?
  • Does the positioning feel clear or too broad?

Still early stage, so I’m trying to validate direction before scaling it further 🙏

I built a free LinkedIn toolkit for formatting posts + recruiter search tools would love feedback from vibecoders

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve been building small tools for LinkedIn creators and recruiters, and I just launched something I’d love to get feedback on from this community.

It’s called AccentKithttps://accentkit.com

It’s a 100% browser-based toolkit that helps you make LinkedIn posts look cleaner and more engaging without needing any extensions or paid tools.

🧰 What it includes:

  • ✨ LinkedIn text formatter (bold, italic, script, etc. using Unicode)
  • 📊 Character counter (posts, headlines, About section limits)
  • 👀 “See More” preview tool (to optimize hooks)
  • 🔎 Boolean search builder for recruiters
  • 🖼 Simple image resizer for LinkedIn formats

⚡ Why I built it

I’m an HR manager and I spend a lot of time reviewing LinkedIn profiles and job posts.

I kept seeing people:

  • losing engagement because posts break awkwardly
  • struggling with formatting that actually stands out
  • recruiters wasting time building Boolean strings manually

So I put together the tools I kept wishing existed in one place simple, free, no login, no backend.

🧠 Tech approach (vibe coder style)

  • Fully client-side (no server, no database)
  • Everything runs in the browser
  • Focused on speed + privacy + simplicity over complexity

🤔 Would love feedback on:

  • Is this useful or too niche?
  • What feature would you add first?
  • Does the UX feel “clean enough” for daily use?
  • Any ideas to make it more viral for LinkedIn creators?

Not trying to overbuild it just want to refine it based on real feedback from builders.

Thanks in advance 🙌

Second AdSense rejection for "low value content" job board with enriched listings, policy pages, and original editorial content. What am I missing?

https://preview.redd.it/y9qzvx0t9f6h1.png?width=1630&format=png&auto=webp&s=973e1580bf150876f7a5838c86d446713bb79fc6

Hey everyone, hoping to get some insight from people who've been through this.

My site is **interactjob.ma** AI-powered job board for Morocco, launched May 2026. Just received my second "low value content" rejection from AdSense and I'm genuinely confused about what's still triggering it.

What I fixed before the second submission:

- ✅ All 125 active job listings enriched with 172–237 words per page (generated via Claude Haiku, not copy-paste scraped content)

- ✅ 7 duplicate articles removed from the blog

- ✅ 9 thin city-landing pages set to noindex

- ✅ Full policy pages live: Privacy Policy (AdSense + Loi 09-08 compliant), Terms of Use, Editorial Policy, About (400+ words with founder bio), Contact with working form

- ✅ All pages linked in footer + sitemap

- ✅ ads.txt present

- ✅ Unique meta titles + descriptions on all job pages

- ✅ No ad units rendering on any page during review only the verification script loads

- ✅ Editorial blog with 31 original articles, 800+ words each, author byline, publish dates

My site structure roughly:

- ~125 active job listings (enriched)

- 31 original articles

- ~8 static/policy pages

- Homepage with original intro content

What I'm trying to understand:

  1. Is AI-enriched content (even when original and genuinely useful) still considered "thin" by AdSense reviewers?
  2. Could the job board format itself be the issue even with enriched pages, does Google still see job boards as "aggregators" by default?
  3. Is there a minimum ratio of editorial content vs. listing pages that AdSense expects?
  4. Should I be noindexing ALL job pages and only submitting the blog section for review?

Any experience with job boards or content-heavy directories getting approved would really help. Thanks in advance.

Building a job board in Morocco as an HR professional Week 1 update: 0 to 3.9K weekly visitors, no ads, here's what actually happened

Quick context before the numbers: I'm an HR Manager with 10 years in Moroccan hospitality. I'm not a developer by training. I built this with AI-assisted coding (Claude Code) while working a full-time job.

How it started

I was manually sharing job offers on LinkedIn. My following grew organically to ~20K. People kept DMing me asking for more. At some point I thought why not build the actual thing instead of just posting about it?

I launched interactjob.ma on May 10. It's a job board for Morocco with an AI agent that scrapes, enriches, and publishes job offers automatically 24/7.

Week 1 numbers (June 1-7)

  • 3,397 unique visitors
  • 7,655 page views
  • 80+ countries reached organically
  • Top traffic sources: LinkedIn (69%), Google (6%), ChatGPT (3%)
  • Already indexed on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Perplexity, and being cited by ChatGPT without me doing anything

What actually worked

The AI agent posting to LinkedIn automatically is driving most of my traffic. But I recently discovered the posts had too many links which kills reach on LinkedIn. Fixing that this week.

The unexpected one: ChatGPT is sending me 3% of traffic and growing. I didn't optimize for this it's just happening because my job listing pages have clean structured data.

What's not working yet

  • AdSense rejected me for "low value content" (expected for an aggregator)
  • Zero revenue so far despite the traction
  • Page speed is at 5.2s needs to get under 2.5s
  • RSS feeds from 6 out of 8 job sources are broken, so I'm running on 2 sources right now

The target

50K monthly visitors by December without paid ads. Going through content, SEO, and product iteration.

I'll post an update every week with real numbers what went up, what broke, and what I'm doing about it.

If you're building a niche job board or content site, happy to compare notes. What's the hardest part of distribution you've run into?
