Site, section and page-level issues

If you’ve received a notification about your site, a section of your site or a page, check below to find out more about the issue and what action you need to take:

Policy violation

If the “Must fix” column says “Yes”, one of your sites, site sections or pages is not currently in compliance with the Program policies and, as a result, an enforcement has been taken. When the action is taken on a page, then the page is violating policy. When the action is taken on a site or site section, then there are multiple pages within the site or site section that are violating policy. When this occurs, you need to check your entire site or site section and make changes to bring it into compliance with our policies.

After you address the policy violations on your site, site section, or pages, you may request a review. Alternatively, if you want to stop serving ads on the policy violating sites, site sections or pages, you can remove the AdSense ad code from those sites, site sections or pages. The policy violations will be automatically removed from the Policy center within 7-10 days. For Auto ads: add a new page exclusion, and enter the URLs of the pages that you don’t want ads to appear on.

Publisher restriction

If the “Must fix” column says “No”, it means that your site has content that falls under the Google Publisher Restrictions. While you can choose to monetize this type of content, you will likely receive reduced advertising as not all ad sources will be able to bid on it.

If you address any of the publisher restrictions on your site, site section, or pages, you may request a review. Alternatively, if you want to stop serving ads on the pages, you can remove the AdSense ad code from your pages and they will be automatically removed from the Policy center within 7-10 days. For Auto ads: create a new URL group, select the pages that you want to stop serving ads on and leave all of the ad formats unselected.

Warning (sites only)

A warning means that one or more of your sites is not currently in compliance with the AdSense Program policies. To resolve this, you need to make changes to your site to bring it into compliance. Some pages of the site may also have page-level or section-level enforcements with restricted ad serving.

If you don’t make changes, further actions may be taken on your site or account.

Requesting a review

After you’ve made the required changes for a policy violation and/or the optional changes for a publisher restriction, you may request a review of your site. Note that there’s a monthly limit on the number of reviews you can request.

1. Sign in to your AdSense account.
2. Click Account Policy center.
3. In the “Sites with enforcements” section, find and click the site with the enforcement.
4. Click the Down arrow to open the detailed view of the enforcement.
5. Click Request review.
6. Complete the form and click Request review.

   We’ll typically review your site within one week but sometimes it can take longer. Based on the results of the review, enforcements may be removed. If other issues are found, the Policy center and enforcement will be updated appropriately.

Account-level enforcements

Limited ad serving

Limited ad serving means Google has placed a limit on the number of ads your AdSense account can show. Learn more about ad serving limits.

Suspension

If you receive a suspension it means that your account has been suspended due to one or more AdSense Program policyviolations. We recommend you use the suspension period to investigate the sources of invalid traffic, identify and block suspicious traffic, and put measures in place to ensure your ad traffic complies with our guidelines and policies. Learn more about keeping your account in good standing.

During the suspension, no ads are shown, your payments are on hold, and your latest revenue may be deducted from your account and refunded to advertisers. After the suspension period, we’ll automatically re-enable ad serving, remove the payment hold and monitor your account to ensure compliance. Note that you cannot request a review for an account suspension. For more information, see: account suspended for invalid traffic or policy reasons.

If additional issues are found, either during the suspension period or after your account suspension ends, your account may be permanently disabled.

Impacted products

The violations can be related to sites and pages that use various products. To help you solve the issue, each issue provides the list of impacted products for that given violation:

• AdSense for content
• AdSense for video
• AdSense for games
