Do not use AI-generated content
Content writing has become super-fast and very easy with the arrival of AI (Artificial Intelligence). Now, you can ask Google’s Gemini or OpenAI’s ChatGPT to write content for you. You can also use expensive tools like https://blogify.ai/. Within a few seconds, it will write the content according to your needs. But if you use these AI tools to write content for you, Google will detect it easily and reject your application. Because AI-generated content is not new. It will collect the old information from the internet and mix it together. So, it has no value to the user. They can also use AI to know something. So why will they visit your website? So, even if Google approves your website for AdSense, your organic traffic will decrease gradually. In the end, you will lose traffic and as a result, you will lose your rank in Google search results. So, never use any AI-generated content.
Write quality content
Always write your content yourself and try to write something that people will read. Avoid grammatical mistakes and express your ideas clearly. If you own a blogging website, you can also follow the tips for ranking your site.
