title: Adsense for web apps
body: <p>Google has Adsense and Admob</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Adsense is thought for websites that have a lot of text and content (eg. blogs)</li>
  <li>Admob is for mobile apps</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But what about web apps?</p>
  
  <p>I have made several free-to-use web apps that are used daily because they help people do things (eg. convert something from one format to another) but they have no paragraphs and little text. Sometimes they are just a form input asking for a file and then the web app returns an output file.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I put adsense in these web apps?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I tried to apply for the Adsense program with my homepage but it got rejected. My homepage has a link to each of these web apps and a little description (eg. "A web app for converting XML to PDF", etc)</p>
  
  <p>The rejection email says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.  </p>
    
    <p>Issues: </p>
    
    <p>Insufficient content:</p>
    
    <p>To be approved for AdSense and show
    relevant ads on your site, your pages need to have enough text on them
    for our specialists to review and for our crawler to be able to
    determine what your pages are about.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So... as I see it: To be able to use adsense I will need to create a <code>.com</code> or <code>.net</code> (ie: a first level domain, as needed by Adsense) and fill it with "enough text" and "content".</p>
  
  <p>But what content though? Should I invent content? <strong>should I write about my cat?</strong> </p>
  
  <p>Writing is not my business. I do web apps.</p>
  
  <p>Google thought on writers and provided Adsense for them.<br>
  Google also thought on mobile developers and provided Admob for them. </p>
  
  <p>How should I proceed?</p>
