    My account won't validate although it appears that the add is present on my website:

    www.onlycamping.com

    Thanks,
    Derrick

    Thank you I deleted all pages other than blog pages so all the pages now have the ad. This was my intent as this was a test site which now I want to use purely for my blog.

    Still getting the errors though. It seems to still be pointing the the pages that are gone.

    Thanks,
    Derrick

    Hey, derickp, the problem is that you deleted th pages from your server, but Google still has them indexed, so the script thinks that you still have them. What you should do is create those pages and put up the coop code on them, but don't link to those pages, that way they will slowly be taken out of Google's index.

    Thank you Fryman, I am going to just build with a different URL. I was just testing to see if i could successfully set it up and i think I have other than the index stuff. So we will see :)

    Ok I set it up on my new domain and blog

    www.parenting-styles.info

    Which has no pages indexed in google yet or none .php based pages.

    I went to validate and here is what i go it seems it still is pointing to my old website attempt listed abouve(even though I deleted that in the DP control panel).

    Ads not found on http://www.onlycamping.com/

    Logout | Setup Instructions | Edit Account Settings

    Account not not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2005-04-19 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, make a request in the forum for assistance).

    Thanks for any help,
    Derrick
