Google AdSense...

[Joakim Christiansen]

Damn, this thing is like WHAT THE FUCK!
It's the worst crap I have ever touched, why must they make it so damn hard to register an account just to be able to display a little AD and get some money?! They didn't approve my submission and now I have to write even more crap in the application, looks like they now want me to write my name 4 times and my address twice. And why the hell are they even sending checks in the mail, we live in 2007 for gods sake!
PayPal is like 10 times easier, damn I hate Google...

Issues:

- Account information incorrect or not provided

---------------------

Further detail:

Account information incorrect or not provided: We've found that the account information provided in your application is incomplete or incorrect. Our application requires a full valid first and last name and a valid mailing address. Business applications are required to supply a company name in the 'Payee Name' field of the application form and a contact name in the 'Contact Name' field.

What should I do?
I want to contact them and tell them that they suck!
I submitted for an individual account and now they're talking about business crap?!

Individual publishers, or businesses with less than 20 employees, should sign up as an Individual account.

And in Norway everything you have to write in a form like that is your name and your address lines. Now I have to write down region and city, I don't even live in a city for gods sake!

yeah, them bloody americans don't even know that there is a world outside the US, unless there is some oil...

no, seriously, I've seen this often that US companies set up their register pages in a way that it fits properly to US-information and is almost useless for people outside the US....

does they at least accept some bullshit string for region?


btw: you left your phone-number inside the field of your screenshot...

I noticed and I really don't care too much, give me a call if you want and we can talk about hay or something.

Joakim... I had NO IDEA you lived in China.

PinYin is the method for Anglicizing Asian languages (one of them) YaLe was another...

Don't tell me they make all nationalities other than USA enter PinYin? How about GB???

Not to put a dampner on anything but.
I would advise to ignore AdSense and AdWords or whatnot until later.
You need to have a lot (thousands of visitors) to earn anything significant.
If you have that though then it's worth it.
And unless I'm wrong, if there is too little traffic it will be disabled.

[Joakim Christiansen]

I have a little under 1000 visitors each day I guess, but I know it will be more popular in the future so I want to add this banner and be done with it.
I guess I have to send them an email...

[Rescator]

Out of pure curiosity I've signed up too. We'll see what they say in a week or so when they "review" me!
Signup seemed simple enough though, no issues there. (I chose Individual though)

I have just several hundred visitors a day to my main site, but the earnings are racking up quite nicely. However, since starting Adsense in October/November time I have still to receive a penny from them. I contrinually have to request reissue of payment, but at the moment, all to no avail.

It's a little annoying to say the least.

I've been signed up the since they first started. I had no problems signing up or getting approved. They actually owe me almost $50 hehehe

[Joakim Christiansen]

Now they approved it!
