How To Fix Not Showing AdSense After Moving My Blogger (Blogspot) To My Own Domain

I am writing this to share my experience in moving my blogspot to my own domain.

My blogger.com subdomain was approved for adding AdSense years ago. This month I decided to purchase a domain for my blog.

So I got my domain from Blogger through GoDaddy.com. The shift to the new domain was OK except that my Ads suddenly went blank. Then I went to adsense>account settings>sites authorized to show ads... then added my domain URL there - was this step a mistake??

Because my blog is hosted by blogger and i only purchased a domain for my blog. ads were perfectly showing with my blogspot.com url name.

Now on my adsense account it is showing this msg:
"In order to complete your request to show ads on your own website, please implement your ad code on a live page on the domain that you gave in the upgrade request form. Your upgrade request can only be reviewed once your ad code has impressions on that domain. Learn more"

So I looked for an answer online using this: "ads not showing on godaddy domain using blogger as host"

One advised this:

If your account was approved through an application from blogger, then your account is approved to host ads on a blogspot URL, not on your own domain.

In order for the ads to display on your own domain, you need to apply for a host account upgrade ... that's why the message is displaying in your account. If you followed all the steps required in the instructions to submit a host account upgrade, then you just need to wait for them to approve it so ads will display on your domain.

The steps can be found here:
https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2534771

The message to place ad code in your site will continue to display until after the approval is complete (blogger's code from the gadgets is fine to use). The host account upgrade can take as long as a month to be completed.

I tried it so I tried following this: My ads>Other products

But there was no Upgrade now option. But there was this page that asking you to provide your domain then it will give you HTML Code that needs to be pasted on your site.

You go to blogger.com then Themes>Edit HTML

But when I tried putting in the code after <head>, I got this error message:

Error parsing XML, line 5, column 15: Open quote is expected for attribute "async" associated with an element type "script".

I copied the whole error message and googled it. I saw this: How To Add Adsense Code Into Blogger HTML Without Parsing Error Message

Some common Errors and solutions

Error parsing XML, line 3719,
column 15: Attribute name "async" associated with an element type
"script" must be followed by the ' = ' character.

Solution
replace ‘’sync’ ’ with the XML equivalent async='async'

I followed it and saved the HTML and it worked!!!! HOWEVER, when I went back to my AdSense to submit my application, they advised that it will take 3 DAYS for the approval.

Your AdSense application status

Thank you for your interest in expanding your Google AdSense account to implement ad code on your own website. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, we're unable to approve this application for the time being. Your existing AdSense account that allows you to show ads on partner sites is not affected by this disapproval.

We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.

Issues:

Insufficient content: 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.
To resolve this issue, please work through the following suggestions:

Make sure that your pages have sufficient text - websites that contain mostly images, videos or Flash animations will not be approved.
Your content should contain complete sentences and paragraphs, not only headlines.
Ensure that your website is fully built and launched before you apply for AdSense - do not apply while your site’s still in a beta or “under construction” phase or only consists of a website template.
Place the ad code on a live page of your website. It does not have to be the main page, but test pages that are empty except for the AdSense ad code will not be approved.
Provide a clear navigation system for your visitors so that they can easily find all of the sections and pages of your website.
If you’d like to monetize YouTube videos, please apply for the YouTube monetization program. Note that blogs and websites that contain only videos will not be approved.

For now, I'll just wait for their response then update this blog soon. :)

UPDATE AS OF MAY 6, 2017

So finally I received this email from AdSense:

Your website has been approved to show AdSense adsCongratulations, your AdSense account has been approved to show AdSense ads on your own website. Within a few hours, you will begin to see live ads.

Now, the ads are seen on this website. Will post once I get my first payment with Google AdSense! :)
