even google can be inane

when you have a blog on blogger.com (owned by google), there's a tab "monetize" that you can select and sign up to display ads on your site, through google's adsense program. for fun, i decided to see what happens when i follow the mad hatter down the rabbit hole.

it's a simple process, takes about 2 minutes, for you to provide some information, e.g. where you live, so that they can send you a check. at the end of it, you realize that you've filled out an application, since they tell you that your application will need to be approved.

so come today, i get an email in my account, contents are below.



Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after
reviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into Google AdSense
at this time.

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

Issues:
- Difficult site navigation

---------------------

Further detail:
Difficult site navigation: During our review of your website, we found
your site difficult to navigate. Potential navigation issues include:
redirects, pages behind a login or restricted access, broken links,
excessive pop-ups, dialers, and pages under construction or not yet
launched.



given that i don't have control over my blog and how it navigates, i think google's left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing.
