An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as you have not yet completed an application.

8 people have said their piece on this post. What say you?

Earlier I tried to log into my adsense accounts and it tells me “An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as you have not yet completed an application.”. Now this is weird cause the ads are showing on pages and I am still getting daily reports so I knew the account was active.

I recently had a issue where a former close friend of mine was logging into some of my accounts so i changed the password on them all…. Evidently there is a bug within Google Accounts where if your account is linked with a google account or adwords account and you change the password on google accounts and not within Adsense specifically it will jackup your account.

I fired off a email to adsense support right away and wondered what was going on. I was not concerned that my account was banned. I just was concerned it was going to be a HUGE headache to straighten out.

Anyway - I saw my friend Jen Slegg online and talked to her about it. She sugested trying the “reset password” link. I did this and set the password to what it originally was and boom I had my account back that had dissapeared! THANKS JEN!

To be fair to adsense support they did respond with this answer also about 1.5 hours after I emailed them. Which I think is pretty darn fast.

Hopefully this post will help others if you experience the bug… it sure got my attention.

    Same thing happened to me earlier, twice in a row. Logged me in on the third time though. Never reset my password or anything.

    Now that will be funny if the famous shoemoney got banned by google. Google must be out of their mind.

    Happened to me today. I almost got a heart attack because some forums did said they were ban after receiving the message.

    But after that, I tried login using my full email address, it then works fine.

    Google can make millions of people die in heart attack if they ban the adsense for the whole country.
