Revamp your Old Blog for 2021

I want to have AdSense (again) on my old BlogSpot blogs. The times when you just had to place the widget are gone. Now Google does not anymore automatically fill it. Why? The times of in-built PageRank, when Google preferred their own blogs slightly over other publications are gone as well. 

A blog must fill very strict and hard criteria now to even get (re-) indexed on Google. Mine were not. I found out only after wondering for a long time. First, I was told on the dashboard "something" had to be done to be ready for AdSense. Scanning over Google's Publisher Policies I saw clearly: Of course legal pages are a must. 

Since my article is going to be well over 2300 words, I'd better insert: "Please Bookmark my Article, and be sure to come back to read on you stopped 😊 Maybe I forgot something and you have a question? Please leave a comment!"
