How to Fix “Low Value Content” / “No Publisher Content” in Google AdSense

If you run a tools website, there’s a high chance you’ll eventually see a warning in your Google AdSense account: “Google-served ads on screens without publisher-content” or “Low value content”. This is very common for sites that mainly offer utilities like downloaders, converters, or generators – including YouTube thumbnail tools.

Why AdSense Shows “Low Value Content”

AdSense wants to show ads on pages that offer real value to visitors. For tools sites, the problem is usually not the tool itself – it’s that there is very little text around it. From Google’s point of view, a simple page with one form and one button looks “thin”.

• Your homepage only shows a tool and almost no explanation.
• There’s no About, Contact, Privacy, Terms or Disclaimer pages.
• Ads are placed above the fold before any useful content appears.
• Articles are extremely short or copied from other websites.

How to Turn a Thin Page into a High-Value Page

1. Add Long, Original Content Around Your Tool

Keep your tool at the top of the page, but below it add a proper article. Explain what the tool does, who it is for, how it works, limitations, and best practices. Aim for at least 1,500–2,500 words on your main pages.

2. Add Trust Pages and Navigation

Create and link to:

• About – who you are and what the site does.
• Contact – with a real email address.
• Privacy Policy – how you handle data.
• Terms & Conditions.
• Disclaimer – especially if you reference YouTube or third-party services.

3. Place Ads After the Main Content Starts

Avoid putting ads at the very top of the page or before the user sees the tool. Instead, show your tool first, then your article, then place ads between sections. This looks much better to both visitors and reviewers.

Using Open A P K as an Example

On openapk.site, the homepage includes the YouTube Thumbnail Downloader at the top and a long guide underneath. There are also separate pages for About, Contact, and legal policies. This combination makes the site more trustworthy and valuable in AdSense’s eyes.

What to Do After Improvements

1. Log in to your AdSense account.
2. Go to the Policy Center.
3. Find your site and click Request Review.
4. Wait a few days while Google rechecks your pages.

During this time, don’t make drastic changes or add aggressive ads. Focus on keeping the site helpful and easy to use. In most cases, if your content is genuinely better, the issue will be cleared.

Final Thoughts

AdSense “low value content” warnings are not a ban – they are a signal that the site needs more love. Combine your tool with in-depth articles, clean navigation, and clear policies, and you will be much closer to running a long-term, policy-compliant project – just like Open A P K aims to be.
