A incompetence is a problem in all companies, governments and other levels of society. This brings me directly to my points. But it appears that Google Adsense team has issues reading a mixed blog of English and Icelandic (like this blog is). But as it stands Google Adsense does not support Icelandic language in there Google Adsense program. They only offer English as a option in there drop down menu, along with Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and other languages. So I only had the option to apply for english, thinking it would be enough. As my root blog is Icelandic with mixed english. But I guess that the Google employ that did review my web page must have spent less then 20 seconds reviewing it, as my second blog post when the blog was reviewed was in English while the one on top was in Icelandic. As it is clear that the person how did review it did not see the english part of my blog since it did spend so little time actually reviewing it. There is also a option that Google Adsense just refused me because I already carry Amazon ads (that are problem free by the way). But the Google Adsense application form only offers me to add my root web site into there application form. They for instance do not allow me to add my sub blog to there application form. But that blog is only in english and not a mixed language blog like this one (Icelandic, English).
Here is the message that I got from Google Adsense team. I did apply from a Danish IP, that explains the danish replay that I got.

Hello
Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. After reviewing your
application, we unfortunately can not give you access to AdSense at the moment.Your application was rejected for the following reasons.
Problems:
– Unsupported language
My use of Google is going to start and end with the free service that they offer. It appears that Google Adsense is not worth the trouble, at least I am not going to bother to fight the company that sets up the rules in such way that they always win. But on the side note I am always looking for advertisers for my earthquake and volcano blog. But that blog gets majority of the web traffic of my web sites (100,000 page views on a quiet month), along with my helicorders web pages (above 50,000 page views on a quiet month).

Adsense, no sense at all – what it’s like being sacked by a computer…
