Hi,My Adsense application got approved recently & Google is now serving ads on my Blog.
As a new user I have a few doubts. I would be highly appreciative of anybody who helps me clear them. I want to ensure that I do not violate any of Google's Adsense Rules.
Regarding name being displayed on the blog
The first time I had submitted my application, I received a reply from them saying it had been rejected. The reason given was,
Issues: - Unacceptable site content
Among the possible causes given, the only cause I felt, I violated was,
“You must provide accurate personal information with your application that matches the information on your page.”
On my blog, I had listed out, as my location, a fantasy land. Obviously it did not match the information I had given in my Adsense account application. So I changed it to reflect information in my Adsense account. To be on the safe side, I also entered my full name, including my surname[Blogger Profile & Google Profile. I don't have Google Plus]. After that I re-submitted my application & it was approved.
The thing is, while I am comfortable revealing my true location & also my first name on my blog, I am a little uncomfortable making my surname also public on my blog.
Does Google Adsense require that I make both my name & surname public for me to be eligible for Adsense? Can I remove my surname & retain my first name on the blog & still be eligible for Adsense? Please let me know. Thanks
Reason: Typo
