A compromised site is a website that has been hacked and infected with malware. This malware can harm users by stealing data, redirecting them to harmful websites, or displaying unwanted ads. To protect users, Google Ads disapproves ads served on compromised sites. Steps to fix a compromised site: 1. Scan for malware: Use tools like Google Search Console, Sucuri, or other reputable scanners to detect malicious code or files on your site. 2. Remove malware: Delete any infected files, remove unauthorized scripts, and update all software, plugins, and themes to their latest versions. 3. Search for issues manually: Use site:yourdomain.com in Google Search to check if your site displays unusual pages, such as content in a different language or spammy links. Remove any suspicious content found. Once your site is cleaned and secure, reach out to Google Ads support to request a review. Provide details about what you’ve fixed and how you’ve ensured the site’s safety.
