This Blog is Too Sexual for Google

A few days ago I received this e-mail from Google.

Dear Publisher,

This Google Publisher Policy Report gives you an overview of recent activity related to violations found on specific pages of your websites. As enforcement statuses may change over time, please refer to the "Page-level enforcements" section of the AdSense Policy Center for the current list of active violations.

Please note this report doesn’t cover violations that may happen on an overall site or account level. You may be notified by a separate email if site or account level violations are found. Ads will continue to serve where no policy violations have been found, either at the page- or site-level.

In the last 24 hours:

New violations were detected. As a result, ad serving has been restricted or disabled on pages where these violations of the AdSense Program Policies were found. To resolve the issues, you can either remove the violating content and request a review, or remove the ad code from the violating pages.

Kind regards,
Google Publisher Policy

I went to AdSense and learned that advertising on two of my webpages now will be limited because of excessive Adult: sexual content.

Ron Jeremy's Reminiscences About Borscht-Belt Resorts

How far did Baby and Johnny go sexually?

Google is not requiring me to "fix" these pages, but advertising on them will be limited.

Those two pages have received unusually large numbers of pageviews.

The article about Ron Jeremy has received 15,650 pageviews.

The article about Baby and Johnny's sexual activities has received 6,200 pageviews.

=======

In the past month, this blog has been receiving about 850 pageviews a day. I do not know how they are counted. The overwhelming majority of pageviews are about Patrick Swayze's "secret son".

For many years, I have had the impression that only about a dozen people read my blog regularly. Some people read it regularly for a while and then stop, but they are replaced by new regular readers. Thus, the number of regular readers always remains about a dozen. However, I am just speculating based on the pageviews of my ordinary posts.

I get very few comments or e-mails. I never have had any frequent commenters.

======

I earn about $11 (eleven dollars) a month from the advertising. That barely pays for the few books and DVDs that I have purchased. (My biggest expense was that my wife and I went to see the Dirty Dancing stage musical.)

The limitation of advertising on those two webpages must cost me no more than 2¢ a month.

I have been thinking that I might just get rid of the advertising, because I don't like all that clutter on my blog.

======

I put a PayPal DONATE button in my blog's upper-right corner, but I have not received any donations.

For a while, I fantasized that some rich person might patronize my blog with a big donation. So much wealth has been destroyed by the coronavirus epidemic, however, that I no longer fantasize about any such patronage.

So, my blog is essentially just a labor of love -- which I explained here.
