If you are not registered and certified as a business, you don't have tax exemption on your purchases either.
The only revenue I get is solely from Google - a business. There are no taxable sales from my site, just ads provide by Google.

Fine with business certification. That certification is what qualifies you as a business for business tax free purchases and monitoring by the state sales tax authority.

If you are paid by google you are providing a service to a business which merely passes cost on up the marketing chain until tax is collected at a final consumption sale, with a business certification your business' purchases would be tax free, pProvided business use is established on your purchases without conversions to personal use. That is one function of sales tax audits.

If you are converting your business purchases to personal use as determined under sales tax audit of your certified business then you have a bit of a problem under the enforcement statutes and owe taxes and any potential penalties as well if a fraudulent conversion is demonstrable.
