Default Account Closed?

I tried to logon to ad*se*nse as usual only to be advised that there was no ad*se*nse account associated with my email address. I logged into the accounts page of goggle and then clicked on to the ad*se*nse link, the result was that the ad*se*nse login page kept reloading on a continuous loop. I've cleared cookies, and changed IP, and tried from a different PC. No change.

I can't help but think that it is the month end and goggle has deliberately waited until this time before closing my account so they don't have to pay the considerable amount they owe me.

Any thoughts on this?

Haha you got robbed buddy. Google did that to me as well, then a couple of days later I got an email saying that my adsense account was shut down. Good luck! Time to find a new method of income.

Obviously something dubious was going on? Approx. how much do they owe you? If you didnt breach TOS e-mail them but I doubt you'll have much luck, it's like they say in css ''VAC don't make mistakes''

They owe me $1500. The only dubious aspect that I know of was that the vast majority of traffic (to an otherwise legitimate site) came from Y!A. Other than that, I really don't know. They even closed my Adwords account, and apparently I owe them $3.50 from many moons ago, I haven't even used it for 18 months.

So, Ads*ense has PAID me for August, and my ads are still live, although all of the other problems still remain. Do we still think the account is closed?

Well, if you can not log in then consider your account as closed or hacked.

Why don't you email directly to Adsense staff and ask them what's going on?

I was promoting adsense through Yahoo answers as well and I got warned by adsense. So, I am redirecting traffic to adsense page by adding one more page at my site, That way I can hide my referring URL.

That's exactly what happened to me when the f**cked me. Granted it was on $30, but
2 days later I got the dreaded "account has been closed due to suspicious click activity".

Hope that's not the case with you.

This is what is really weird. I have put in a query, and a woman replied, she gave me an email address and said that the Adsense account is associated with this email address. The thing is, I have never seen it before. I told her this, I said 'check your data, in two years I have never used this email address to log in'

She replied back saying that I logged on yesterday with it!!?? Also, she said that no other email address has ever been associated with the account other than the bullshit one she gave me.

Also, I went to the page where you can ask for a new Adsense login if you have lost your password. When I enter my usual email, it says 'no such account'. NO great surprise there, but when I enter the bullshit email address, it also says 'No such account' How can ther be no such account when the woman form Adsense has told me that the email address is the correct login for my Adsense account?

There's more....
Other than responses to my queries, I have received no email from Adsense warning of transgressions, or telling me that my account has been closed. Then again, if they don't acknowledge that my email address even exists, they're not likey to, are they?

Also, if I log in to my gmail account first, and then go to Adsense, the Adsense login page keeps loading up in a perpetual loop. Now that surely shows that there is something amiss?

There is something wrong for sure...

First of all, your account has to attach with Gmail...So adsense staff can not tell you that you account is not associated with any other email address.

Secondly, do you remember what is your primary email address with which you initially signed up with adsense? They should have send you a notice at your primary email address. Also, check all emails for the email address which adsense staff is talking about.

Try to contact them with with your primary email account or with your Gmail account.

Post your query in Adsense forum if you do not hear back from them soon.

Looks like I didn't make myself clear enough:
The Adsense lady says the account IS asscociated with a gmail address, and she even gave me the gmail address, but I have never seen it before.

Well yes, I remember, in fact I was still using the primary email address to log in with until these problems arose, but I have received no notice. (I assume you mean an 'account closed' notice?)
Quote:

Nope, nothing there.

I even have an email sent to my Adsense gmail address about 18 months ago confirming that my bank details have been added to the Adsense account. This (to me at least) proves that I am genuine, but I can't get any bastard at goggle to listen to me!!

That is all I have been using. (both).

That is next on my list Now I cannot even send queries to Adsesnse because you have to eneter your email account in the text box of the query, and when I hit 'send' the page says 'no email address associated with this account'.

For some reason (I use firefox) sometimes, if I go to adsense.google.com to login I can't it just sits there trying to load adsense page.

BUT. If I close browser, go to google.com, click my account THEN click the adsense links, it logs in fine.

Might just be bugged like mine gets sometimes it's really wierd. I can NOT login ever to adsense at the adsense subdomain

Yep, I've had that problem too in the past. It lasted for about three months until one day it suddenly statrted working again. This, however is something different. I get the continual pageload thing by doing as you describe - log in to goggle first and then click on Adsense.
