No response from Google.

Hi, I have a question.

I am trying to get adsense on a site that is completely harmless. Contains stuff about one specialised program to model populations. No porn, no nudity, no compies of anything else. Not a private site either. I applied for adsense a month ago, when I took the site offline cause of a wee hardline problem. Google saw this and rejected me. Since then I am getting no answers, neither from German Adsense nor Amerika. Since I am a German in Britain, do I have to write to the UK. Is them not answering back normal?

We also have a site that has 3000 visits a day and would like to get adsense on this. Biological site. Now I am kinda hesitating to apply with them and let someone else do it.

Are response times over a week normal. The initial answer came within 2 days.

Do they stigmatise you once you have been rejected once?

[Curiosity]

Not necessarily. I was turned down once, but they accepted me immediately once I fixed the problem and reapplied.

I did reapply with a different email address, though, which might have "refreshed" the system. You might want to try changing your email address and see if that does anything.

Hi yes I tried the American adsense, but there is no answer either. Then I tried to be honest and wrote to the German one, saying can you please recheck, but you would have to close that other application [giving the adress I applied under in America], since I do not want two accounts as it's not allowed. Maybe I shouldn't have been honest. The problem is really you do not know what is up, since they do not answer, which leads you to making more mistakes. I have this incredible urge to try another ad deliverer, but as things stand, google would probably look exactly then at the site and reject it.

The black hole is the issue. zero answers. Fine if I made mistakes, shout at me, flame but at least tell me, you don't want me. ;) I also check my spam folders and so on.

I also asked if I should apply with the UK one since, I am a foreigner in Britain. Confusing.. Positive thing about it is though, I know what will happen if I snip, and when we put the big site up we will know what to do and what not.

I can also not see that I broke T&C's. When I applied in the states, I had no account. And when I wrote to Germany I stated that I applied elsewhere and gave them all the info, asking them to give me only one. Seems my tries to _not_ cheat resulted in being accused as cheater.

It's just funny you sit there week after week an no answer at all.

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does that mean?

I took the site offline cause of a wee hardline problem.

What do you mean by a "hardline" problem?

[Ankhenaton]

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does that mean?

Modelling populations .. as in recreating life as in 3D Software on a larger scale. IE crowds, wild animals etc. Harmless

What do you mean by a "hardline" problem?

hardware [as in disk made problems]... I saw it but there is so no edit button. :(

Thanks for the clarification...I thought I may have been missing something.

Could it be that your email software is accidently filtering emails from Google?

I checked my spam filter on both accounts, I'll check it again since it's in trash.

Nope nothing.. :\ Only the verification click message.

"Welcome to Google AdSense. In order to verify your email address and submit your information for review, please click on the link below."

etc.. which I did. I noticed it went automatically to the UK one ..

I 've written over the web interface today. So tomorrow I know if that's becoming a habit. Weird.
