Guide: how to use Demonetization Risk Checker

The yellow dollar icon usually arrives after publishing, when the first-day revenue is already lost and an appeal takes days. Most limited-ads decisions are triggered by words — in the title, description, tags or the first minutes of speech — that the automated system associates with sensitive topics, even when the context is harmless. The Demonetization Risk Checker scans your metadata before you publish, scores the risk, lists each flagged phrase with severity, and offers safe replacements.
