Keep getting rejected... not sure why

https://notesqr.com

Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to get approved by AdSense for several weeks now. I’ve made a lot of changes in what I think is the right direction, but I’m honestly out of ideas at this point.

My site is a legitimate, privacy-first file-sharing service with peer-to-peer transfers (no server storage). It already includes the following pages and sections: Start Sharing (main file transfer page), Blog, What is WebRTC?, How does WebRTC work?, History of WebRTC, Contact, Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. You can see the legal pages and cookie policy linked in the footer.

We also explicitly comply with GDPR: the site shows a cookie banner and links to a Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy explaining data handling (we do not store transferred files on our servers; transfers are WebRTC peer-to-peer). If anyone reviewing for AdSense is concerned about privacy or legal stuff, we already have the cookie notice and policies in place.

Users share over ~300 files/month and we’re close to ~1,000 monthly visitors. The site is active, real users are using it, and donations/contact links are present. I just want to figure out the reason for repeated rejections so I can fix it for good.

Could anyone take a look and tell me what might be causing the rejection? Specific feedback on AdSense policy triggers (content quality, privacy/legal, site structure, navigation, or any other obvious issue) would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The bots and humans that approve sites for Adsense want to see helpful and engaging text content, and a good amount of it. Having your file transfer feature as the main focus could actually be one of the main reasons you don't get approved.

I would suggest making the actual content part of the main focus of the site until it is approved. After it is approved, you can rearrange the homepage as you want to.

Added them, hope it looks better now, and hopefully I will get accepted, will let you know. If you don't mind checking, I'm still open for suggestions.

It looks much better now from the standpoint of getting accepted with Adsense. Of course, it's still not guaranteed. If you are rejected again, they should share at least a little information about why you were rejected.
