I'm here because I am lost. Almost a year ago I created a Blogger blog and monetized it with Adsense, which is what I want to concentrate on. After I learn what I am doing I'll consider affiliate products. My problem is that right after creating my one and only Blogger blog I had a severe accident that sidelined me for months. Now that I am back, I have misplaced my adsense info emailed to me upon acceptance by Google. I am going with blogger blogs to begin with because my only income at the moment is SS which barely covers my rent, light and food. Once I begin seeing a return I will put that money back into this business with my own domains and hosting and upgrade to the WP Platform. Also, as I am new to all this, I was not aware of online forums to get help until now. So here I am! You know the code one is supposed to insert in blogs for Adsense Ads, is that generic except for the Pub ID #. How can I get that code? I have my Pub ID #, which I got from Google Adsense when I logged into my account. I want to begin creating more blogs to monetize with adsense but without the code I'll be working for nothing. I have tried getting help from Google but their help site and/or help forum is a joke. After hours of going through a countless number of pages, I can't find a way to contact them directly. So, I have decided to ask for help or guidance here. Today I posted this same query at six (6) different forums. I'm hoping someone can help me sort this out. This is really driving me crazy. I want to get busy but until I sort this out I'm stuck. Now, short story LONG, when I go to my old blog and log in I find it has been taken over by someone else. When I created the blog I posted several articles on weightloss and how it affects one's health for the better. Now I find it full of posts/articles on birthday cakes and recipes for same. My blogs name was weightloss-information-and-health.com (without the hyphens) but the header there now reads 'Weightloss Information'. I don't know how this happened but like I said, I can't contact Google to report this and fix the problem. When I enter either name in my browser neither site comes up but I can log into my blogger account and access the blog, which is now full of cake information. I really can't understand this because someone has put a lot of work into this with all the content, including images and video's. Why take over my blog and not just create their own? If possible, I would just like to delete that old blog and begin anew. I don't feel very secure with someone else having access to my blog. There must be some way to secure even a blogger blog. I just don't know how to go about it. Anyone here have experience with this or just know how to go about it? Both the deleting and securing. Thank you, alex44
Hi Alex, Firstly I hope you have recovered from your accident and your health is good... From the sound of it - having trouble retrieving your Adense login details and your Blog has been compromised - it would probably be easier to start a fresh. Especially as you only had one blog and if your blog was hacked then chances are your Adsense code has been changed anyway so you are probably not earning off that blog. Create a new Google Account. Use the new email to open a new Adsense account and get going. Make sure you use long username and passwords with small/big caps, numbers and letters... Good luck!
