Thanks for your response, BB. The page you linked concerns a different
(but related) problem. That page is about the content created by
advertisers. Some ads are disapproved by Google because of
unacceptable content.

I am hosting advertisements and not creating them. Google does not
wish to display advertisements on webpages that contain unacceptable
content. They have sent me "violation report", but my website content
is quite tame.

I was hoping a list member would visit the following webpage and tell
me if they observe any taboo content.

Attempting to communicate with Google can be a Sisyphean task; hence,
the goal is to learn what I can first.
