What to do When You Cannot Access or Login to your Adsense Account

Saturday, July 17, 2010


If you are a Google Adsense publisher and not being able to sign in to your account, this tutorial is going to help you. People tend to think that their account has been banned if they are not being able to access their accounts even after 3 – 4 attempts, but that’s not true, entirely. If you are banned from Adsense, it will still get you signed in and instead of showing the normal reports page, it will serve a “Account Disabled” notice like the below screenshot:

If you don’t see such notices, it means that your account is still active. Now let’s focus on some other reasons that might be causing unsuccessful Adsense login attempts.
1. Forgotten your Login: Google sends you an approval mail once your Adsense account gets approved. Search your mailbox to find the email and get your login details from there. In case you can’t find that mail, use their login recovery form.
2. Forgotten Password: In case you have forgotten your password, use their password recovery form.

3. Forgotten both Login and Password: If you don’t login to Adsense account frequently and have forgotten the both login ID and password, the account recovery process gets though. Follow the below steps:
  1. Apply for a new account with all the details that you had associated with the earlier account (e.g., name, address,website, phone number, etc.)
  2. Adsense team will disapprove your application (since you have one active account with the given details) and will work with you by email to close the old account and activate the new one
  3. You get the new account approved while your old account will get closed
  4. Remember to replace all ad codes from your old account with the new one. All your earned revenue from the old account will be paid to you only if the unpaid earnings is or above than $10.
    4. Login Information Correct, Still can’t Login: If you are sure that your login details are correct but the Adsense login system does not get you signed it, contact their support team for assistance.

    Google Adsense to Serve Ads from Google Certified Ad Networks


    Bringing a revolution to the way Google Adsense works, Google is going to allow third party ad networks to serve ads on various publisher’s content network through AdSense. They have launched a new capability in AdSense that will allow third party advertisers from Google certified ad networks to compete withAdwords publishers to serve ads on publishers network. So, what will be the impact? Well, we may expect a better CPC rate, varieties of advertisements with maximum revenue at the end of the month.
    Google Adsense
    “These new capabilities will automatically be enabled for your account, and you’ll see a new section in your Ad Review Center where you can allow or block specific ad networks or all networks except AdWords. Please note that we’ll gradually be adding new ad networks to AdSense accounts over the next few months, so you won’t see any immediate impact on your ads or your earnings.”

    Google will still ensure the quality of the ads that appear on AdSense publisher websites through all participating ad networks. Third party ad networks won’t be allowed to collect data from publisher websites and hence they won’t be able to serve interest based advertising solution.
    Publishers now can see a new “Allow and Block Google Certified Ad Networks” feature under Adsense Setup >> Ad Review Center. You can easily allow or block third party ad network (like you allow/block normal ads) from there.

    Google Adsense Certified Ad Networks
    Google-certified ad networks from North America and Europe are included presently, while there are plans to make this feature available to other continent or sub-continent ad networks in future.
    What’s your take on this? Do you think this change will improve the way Adsense used to perform on publisher’s websites or it’s just to fill up the shortage of home ads and has nothing to do with make money online principle?

    Multiple Gmail Account Checker Firefox Add-on


    Gmail Checker 2.1.1 Firefox add-on can be used to check for new emails in your Google Mail and Google Apps (Gmail for Domain) accounts. This add-on creates an icon in Firefox status bar area from where you can check multiple Gmail accounts easily. This does not require you to store account user name or password locally and hence your security and privacy factors remain secure.  Simply select “Log in new account” in the menu and enter the account you want to check mail.
    Gmail Checker Firefox Add-on
    Once you have entered Gmail user name and password for a specific account, you can login to it anytime as the authentication cookies won’t expire after you’ve closed the browser. All your Gmail account information and settings are stored in a file called gmailchecker.sqlite under profile directory.

    The only problem is that the passwords are not 100% encrypted and hence it’s not advised to use Gmail Checker add-on on shared computers.

    Become a Verified Twitter Account User


    Twitter acknowledges the real Twitter users by adding a “Verified Account” logo on their Twitter account pages. This is to let others know that the Twitter user is the actual person that he or she claims to be. You might have seen many well known artists, celebrities, athletes, actors, public officials, and public agencies with the Twitter verified account logo and if you want to have it on your own account, you may apply for a Twitter verified account.
    Verified Screenshot
    A verified Twitter account user is contacted by the people at Twitter to check if the person or organization is the same that he/she/they is/are claiming to be. It helps in avoiding impersonation or identity confusion as the big names such as celebrities, politicians, news reporters are involved in this most popular social networking site.

    Although Twitter does not guarantee the inclusion to the verified account’s list, they will look into your matter and handle with care if your account is constantly competing with parody or impersonation accounts. Twitter verifies a limited number of accounts as you can see that they have millions of users and approving such large number of accounts after due verification will take ages.

    However, you can influence your inclusion process to their list by adding a Twitter badge or logo on your official site linking back to your profile, which will be helpful for verification purposes.
    You can find more details on Twitter verified accounts and apply to become a verified Twitter account use on their support page.

    How to Hack and Bypass Windows Media Player 11 Activation during Installation

    Monday, July 12, 2010


    In order to control piracy and illegal usages, Microsoft has implemented a mandatory activation step during Windows Media Player 11 installation. You need to validate the copy of Windows (WGA validation) first in order to proceed to install WMP11. However, there is a workaround to bypass the WMP 11 activation and install it without activation or such hassles. Do note that this workaround won’t work in case your are trying to upgrade to WMP 11 from any earlier version, it works for fresh installation only.
    First you need to download Windows Media Player 11 setup file. Once you are done with this, follow the below steps.
    Windows Media Player 11

    Windows Media Player 11 Activation Hack

    • Extract WMP 11 setup file by right clicking on “wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe” >> selecting “Extract to wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu” folder (Use Winzip for extraction)
    • All files will be extracted to a new folder called “wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu”
    • Search for a file called “wmfdist11.exe” inside the folder and run it (this will install WMP 11 runtime files)
    • WMP 11 Hack
    • Now double click on “wmp11.exe” file to run the setup process and complete the Windows Media Player 11 installation
    • You will see no WGA activation notification and WMP 11 will get installed on your system successfully
    • Reboot the system and you are done.
    This process is to bypass the WGA validation procedure when installing Windows Medias Player 11 and this works on all non-activated XP systems.
