Hey everyone, we’ve been working on a Harry Potter-themed game site, and we applied for Google H5 games approval after finishing development. It’s been two weeks, and still no answer.
So now we’re wondering… would it be better to apply for Google Ads approval instead? Does anyone have advice on this?

If you’re applying with a subdomain, that might be an issue—Adsense doesn’t usually approve those. Also, make sure you’ve got the basics covered: privacy policy, terms of use, contact page, and about page are a must.
@Colby
Thanks for the advice! We do have an about page, contact page, and privacy policy. We’ll review the subdomain part.
The site’s got a cool concept! Just a heads-up, AdSense approvals sometimes take a few tries. Keep adding content—maybe add some blog posts too. And maybe think about redesigning a bit to make it stand out more.
Keep at it, I think you’ll get approved eventually.

Thanks a lot! I was thinking the same. Do you suggest adding a blog section for extra content?

Yes, a blog section could be really useful! Also, when you’re applying, make sure you use the root domain. Subdomains usually aren’t allowed for AdSense applications, but you can add them later once you’re approved.
You’ll definitely need a contact page, privacy policy, and a CMP (Consent Management Platform) in place. Also, you might want to change the top menu to show link names instead of just images, as it can be confusing. Adding a blog section could really help with relevant content. And consider setting up email capture—this could help you bring users back when you add new features or updates.
The idea has potential but could use some polishing!

Thanks for the feedback! When you say CMP, what exactly do you mean?

CMP stands for Consent Management Platform. It’s used for managing user consent for things like cookies and third-party services.
@GraceMorrison
You might not need CMP if you’re not running ads yet.

If you’re using any third-party tools, like Google Analytics, it’s a good idea to have one. I’ve seen some big fines this year for publishers who didn’t use CMP.
