My project is Mound Simulator, which I published on both the Playcanvas platform and my domain called moundsimulator.io. Both versions of a game are identical.
I tried to register my website in the Google Adsense program, but the program supervisor rejects my request probably due to various reasons, such as an insignificant amount of traffic. I assumed that another one of those reasons would be related to the identical duplicates in both my website and Playcanvas since it seems it violates the following standard suggested in Google Webmaster Guidelines:
Make certain that there’s no duplicate content
As stated in the Google Publisher Policies , Google ads may not be placed on sites with scraped or copyrighted content . Some examples of scraping sites include:
- Sites that copy and republish content from other sites without adding any original content or value
- Sites that copy content from other sites, modify it slightly (for example, by substituting synonyms or using automated techniques ), and republish it
- Sites dedicated to embedding content such as video, images, or other media from other sites without substantial added value to the user
From Google AdSense content and user experience - Google AdSense Help
If I upload the file onto the moundsimulator.io from the Playcanvas editor, two copies of content will exist simultaneously in web space; hence the traffics for that content will be dispersed and become disruptive to monetize.
Should I make my project private for advertising monetization to concentrate the traffics on the appropriate destination, either Playcanvas or my domain?
