Google Adsense suddenly gone missing

I have exactly the same issue. Can not login to my Google Adsense account I created a few years back. It was working perfectly with iWeb'08, but now in iWeb'09 every time I try to log in it tells me that 'The information you provided did not match any Google AdSense account.' Account information I enter is exactly the same as in my Google profile.


I just phoned up Apple Support UK about this issue. They told me to follow Mario Batz's solution

had to remove the apple Adsense boxes from my site and republish it entirely, add the html snippets with the google code and publish again. then the adds worked.

Unfortunately using HTML snippets omits the whole point of iWeb AdSense integration ;/ I've asked support rep. to pass on information about this issue to relevant department, so hopefully Apple/Google will come up with a solution soon.

To follow up on my earlier posting: Over the weekend I resorted to manually setting up the ads on Google's adsense site. It's actually nice to be able to select styles that aren't available in iWeb, but it is a bit of a pain. One thing to note is that doing the ads in this manner requires a bit of patience in that pasting the resulting ad code into the html snippet and clicking the apply button doesn't create a visible result for a few minutes. I believe the ad is communicating with Google before it is provided with default content.
One more important thing to mention: There are so-called widgets at a site called widgetbox that seem to ease the process of making adsense ads from their widget tool. Be aware that some of the creation tools are set up with default parameters to point to other ads and another adsense account number besides yours. You can edit the adsense pub number then create the widge, but looking at the resulting code your pub number still fails to appear. In other words, use Google to build your ad code. Widgetbox still has many fine widgets to explore.

it sounds like it´s going to take forever to fix this problem in our 2 websites. we actually took the iweb09 because of the widgets & the automated ftp upload to mobile me. so, now we have to do it all MANUALLY again from the top???

i thought we bought APPLE PRODUCTs not microsoft!!!

no matter how nice it is to choose colors & designs directly from google´s site, the act of doing it all over again is a torture.

but, thanks for all your input. since my arm is already in pain from clicking, i prefer to wait for an official reply from apple support group. and if anybody finds a shortcut solution for our 2 sites, please...please do write!

I'd be patient. Apple is good at fixing these kinds of issues plus, who knows, adding some features and tweaks along the way. It really isn't so bad to get the code manually.

I would suggest everyone to use Apple's iWeb Feedback form http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html to let Apple know about the issues we are experiencing with AdSense. This way it will have more chances to get noticed and fixed soon.

I am having same problem since last week. It's very frustrating because I was making a few dollars from it. Also, I tried to sign into my google account and couldn't.

Not sure what to do!

I started to experience the same thing a couple of months ago, I have now gone through and manually converted about 50 pages worth of ads manually. It's a pain for several reasons, but it is working now.

I wonder when/if apple is going to fix this.

I also had the same results when I tried to add a new account, or re add the old account

I have the same problem. I have posted the code by hand on this page http://www.bestsurveysforyou.com/US/Privacy_Policy.html
You see that it works right.
Then go to this page http://www.bestsurveysforyou.com/US/Shop%26Save.html and the iweb adsense code does not load all the linking data for the ads at the top and bottom of page. Anyone here know if there is a real fix or just a workaround like what i have been doing? I have all the updates installed and still no luck...

Chiming in a "me too"

I don't know when this happened, but it's not working. It's possible that it's a Google change. I also noticed that my blog on Google's own Blogger service isn't working correctly either.

Hey, it's suddenly working now. Is anybody seeing this or it's just me?

Yeah, same for me. I just checked and I can finally sign in to my AdSence account from iWeb 🙂

Unfortunately ads on published site still appears blank, but maybe I just need to give it some time for Google to update records/databases/whatever.

Some of mine are up and running. Others are not.

I just copy/paste them around the site, so they should all be the same and in the same places. Odd. Is there a limit to the amount iWeb will recognize?

Perhaps it's just slowly adding them back?

Go Google, Go!

I was having the same issue for the last 2-3 weeks. I did the 235mb update yesterday hoping that would fix the problem and it did, or at least my ads are working again. Try logging into your account through iweb, it finally worked for me today. I went through the trouble of updating my web pages and republished the site and finally I have ads again!!!!!

working for me as well. I'd say the 10.5.7 update was the fix.
