About TMOD
TMOD reads a website the way a Google AdSense reviewer does and says, in plain language, what would stop it being approved.
Why this exists
A rejected AdSense application produces one email. It says the site does not comply with the program policies, links to a general policy page, and names nothing: not the page, not the rule, not the category. People then spend weeks rewriting articles that were never the problem while a missing privacy policy sits there untouched.
Everything here follows from that. The audit runs 45 checks derived from Google's published program policies and from the patterns behind real rejections, and every result reports the rule it applied, so you can judge it rather than take our word for it. Each check has a page of its own documenting the exact threshold and what to do when it fails.
How the checks are decided
Thirty of the 45 engines are deterministic measurements: a word count, a similarity ratio, a status code, a certificate expiry, a millisecond budget. Run them twice on an unchanged site and they return the same answer, and the number behind each one is published on its tool page rather than hidden behind a score.
The other fifteen need judgement rather than measurement, so they consult a language model that reads your pages in whatever language they are written in. That covers content quality, prohibited-content categories, and recognising an About or Contact page by what it says instead of by an English URL pattern. Those results are labelled as judgements in the report, because that is what they are, and a model can be wrong in ways a word count cannot.
Thresholds change when the evidence changes. When one does, the tool page for that check is updated with it, which is why those pages carry a date.
What TMOD is not
- Not Google, and not affiliated with Google. Nothing here is a decision by Google, an appeal, or a channel to one. Only Google approves or rejects an application.
- Not a guarantee. A clean report means the things a reviewer commonly acts on are not present on your site. It is a much better position to apply from, and it is still not a promise. Treat anyone selling a guaranteed approval as a warning sign.
- Not an advertising or data business. This site runs no analytics, no advertising trackers and no cross-site tracking, and your data is never sold. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is kept and for how long.
- Not a crawler that touches anything. Scans read pages that are already public, at a polite rate. Nothing is submitted, nothing is logged into, and private, internal and loopback addresses are refused.
How a free audit pays for itself
Crawling a site and running a language model over it costs real money per scan, so it is fair to ask how the free version survives. Two things make it work. Reports are reused: a report stays fresh for 24 hours, and inside that window another visitor scanning the same URL is shown it instead of the site being crawled again. And the checks that need a model run once per distinct piece of content rather than once per request.
There is no advertising on this site today and no paid plan today. If paid tiers arrive, the checks described on these pages stay free to run, and anything that changes will be reflected in the Terms of Service before it takes effect.
Who runs it
TMOD is operated by WEBEST LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801 USA. Questions, corrections and data requests all reach a person: see the contact page for which address to use.
If a check here is wrong, tell us. The thresholds are published precisely so that they can be argued with, and a correction that holds up gets applied to the engine and to the page documenting it.
