Adsense Account Migration

I got this email from Google today that Adsense publishers need to migrate to google accounts for sure. Here is the mail.

Did anybody else also got this?
I don't want to get dependent completely on Google. I remember few people on this forum telling that for some reason or the other their gmail account was banned.

 

didnt get this email yet, but this will be confusing for people that have a few accounts

 

i did not get any email like that . i have heart it for the first time. i suggest to be careful . i think somebody may want to get your adsense username and password

 

I just did it using the links provided. Works fine.




Was hoping I could do this anyway!

 

Oh no. They are not asking any info from me..

 

could be a beta thing

 

I got it too, I want to know do we have to use a different email address or can we use the same?

 

I got it as well but for whatever reason was getting an error when I was trying to use my existing Google account... I'm awaiting their response.

So what sort of "new features and functionality" are at the end of this rainbow?

 

I believe the clue is in the last line of the email: "* Use an email address that has never been associated with another AdWords or AdSense account."

 

I got this email too.. really confused.. should i do this update or not

 

I used my current login and it's been fine. I think where they say "another account" they mean a 2nd one. They probably just don't want people saying "YOU CAN HAVE A 2nd ACCOUNT?!?"

 

I didn't receive that email but you can use the links jim karter provided. What I don't like is the fact that you can't use your main google account which is in my case used for gmail, adwords, ... so everytime I will have to switch login to check adsense. I contacted them if they can do something about this.

 

As it stands Adwords and AdSense accounts can't be linked so I think you need to use separate email addresses at this stage - though I imagine the Google are probably going to link the two at some point down the line. I know there is a chorus of people wanting the two to be linked.

 

That was their answer. So what I did is I changed the login I used for adwords and used my main gmail account for adsense. more convenient to me as I check email more often than adwords.
Thanks for that link Karter, I used it to migrate.

 

OK this is weird,
Now I was able to signup for a new adwords account using a google account that is still linked to my adsense account
However this adwords account is really really really slow.
