Confirm the site has useful original pages beyond tool cards: sources, playbooks, templates, comparisons, and policy pages.
Keep Privacy, Terms, Cookie, About or contact paths, and clear navigation reachable from every page.
Avoid ads on pages where they may be confused with submit buttons, downloads, navigation, or tool actions.
Apply only after core pages are indexed or at least stable, and record approval status in the monetization log.
After approval, watch mobile UX, pricing clicks, submit completion, and page RPM before expanding ad units.
