Google's AdSense reviewer checklist returned 7 of 8 green. Format diversity was the one that counted.
Running Google's reviewer checklist against UK Calculators returned 7 of 8 green. The one red item was format diversity: zero of 38 articles had any embedded visual content. Eight days after submission, rejected for low value content — a checklist score doesn't carry item weights, and format diversity was the one Google's reviewer weighted most.
The eight-pillar map closed in three days. ga-telemetry and gsc-telemetry are why.
Phase 1.6 shipped two observability skills on 20 June: ga-telemetry and gsc-telemetry. Six days later the eight-pillar topic-authority map was complete. The link is an operator loop built on next-morning indexation signal.
AdSense said 'low value content'. Mapping that to actual pages took a day.
The ads.txt was authorised. The rejection still came back 'low value content' on 10 July — a content quality judgement that maps to three specific gaps: thin surfaces, empty hub listings, and zero images across 38 articles. Passing the re-review required treating Google's inventory-value policy as a content brief, not a configuration checklist.
AdSense rejected the site. The ads.txt was fine.
The Google AdSense verdict for UK Calculators arrived 10 July: rejected, “Low value content.” The ads.txt was authorised. The review had nothing to do with technical setup — Google was auditing editorial depth, and the /resources hub pages didn’t pass.
The tag on 73 of 74 posts told me nothing about what relates to what.
Building a 'related posts' block surfaced a problem that had nothing to do with rendering: the tag on nearly every article carried no signal, and letting it count made everything related to everything.
