When I signed up with the new Admob from the old one, my currency was set to Euros. That was late 2013.
Due to a variety of reasons I wanted to change my payment and reporting currency. The reporting currency could be changed but the payment currency would stay in Euros...
After researching I realized I had to open a new account and close the old one in order to change the currency, bear in mind that closing the account requires one to send an email to admob team.
I went about the procedure, opened a new account and set to dollars, I opened a new account with a different email address, linked all my apps again and got new Ad Unit IDs which I updated the apps with, soon revenues started streaming in, in my preffered dollars.
The apps on the old account were still making decent revenues as people don't update that fast so didn't want to miss out, but I knew it's against policy to have 2 or more admob accounts, I contacted admob team by email and told them of my plan to put a hold on my old account's payments so that the revenues still collected on the old account would be added on to those on hold as they wouldn't surpass the threshold and once that final payment is done, I'll have the account deleted and will request to have the new account associated with my original email address of the older account..
Their answer... They said it's OK but I shouldn't pass 2 months with both accounts.
After a month, the old account's revenues really slowed and as predicted couldn't surpass the 70 Euro Threshold, so the fact that I'd put the previous payment on hold enabled me to collect the 50 euros (Along with the previous month's revenue) I otherwise wouldn't have collected if I'd gone on to delete the account.
The account will soon be deleted, and I can request to have my old and preffered email address associated with the new account.
Hope this helps someone until better systems are implemented.

So about a month ago some d-bag got into my gmail and tried charging $500 to it. Goog caught on, stopped the transaction (yay!) , and froze my account (yay!... at first).
Now they won't unlock (boo!) it so I am stuck not being able to dload paid apps. Is it possible to set the market app so I can use a separate Google checkout account?
The idea of having to create a whole new Google login, moving all my contact, calendar, and mail over makes me think I'll prob just be visiting warez sites and sending donations to devs instead.
Any ideas?
(As a side note, does anyone know of a way to make phone contact with Google checkout?)
I went to sleep last night awaiting my first day at sixth form. My G1 was going to be there for internet browsing whilst looking for information (school intranet is very unreliable) but I woke up with a slightly different issue. An ! mark. Turns out somebody had hacked my google account overnight and changed my password. i can now no longer access any google features, including any synced things on the phone, all because of some pesky hacker (of course not aimed at the wonderful 'hackers' on here such as drizzy, twisted, cyanogen, jac etc).
However, I only have one email address so I did not provide an alternate, and to reset my password requires me to know the date i started using my account, which I haven't got a clue. Does anybody know what I can do in this position? Thanks a lot

You can wipe your phone and create a new account. Then in the mean time just email google and see what they can do for you.
yep, thats an option. however I have purchased numerous apps (copilot being the most expensive) that are linked to the account and that I will lose.
Also, I emailed them and they said I didn't provide enough information on my account to get it back. How the hell am I supposed to know the dates I started using 1. the account 2. youtube 3. Google calendar?
Why not just provide me with a security question?

I'm wondering if you are interacting with a real Google password recovery page. From my account page the only password recovery options are:
- Secondary email (optional)
- SMS (optional)
- Security question
At no point does it ever indicate it would recover my password using something as arcane as the date I first started using Google services. By the way, I highly recommend the "Write my own question" option for the security question. Choose a question that describes a very particular characteristic of one of your heirloom or keepsake possessions.

Besides a secondary email account (which i don't have) it is not possible for me to do this! I am really pi*sed off with google at the minute, and am considering selling the G1 because of this. I am an ebay seller with items currently on and use my gmail address with confidence for that account, and unfortunately I can now no longer send/ receive emails to customers. THANKS A LOT GOOGLE

Any reason why you couldn't recover using the regular account recovery screen? It should use your security question.
I'm not sure why you're angry at Google, when your own computing practices are what probably caused your account to be exploited (probably weak password or trojan installed a keylogger)? Regardless, Google is just practicing normal due diligence for account recovery. Account recovery has to use information that only you know (and which you possibly might not even know yourself).
If you're concerned about your eBay sales, go into your eBay preferences and change your registered email.
I dont have another email address, and have no intention of creating a new one! My password is a mixture of numbers and letters (UPPER and lower case) and I have a separate laptop that handles ebay sales so the only thing that the laptop accesses is ebay website/paypal/gmail and its running linux.
The only other time i use my gmail account is on my g1.
The reason I am angry is because this is the only company I have ever seen with security measures this tight! Even when a friend lost his paypal password it was a simple DOB/ security question thing.
I go to recover password, and it asks for my email address. I then type it, and it tells me I don't have a secondary address to receive my security question and to fill in the form posted above. That is all I get, no security question!

That does sound like a pretty secure setup.
Well I guess the best you can do is just try filling out that password recovery form. It doesn't appear that dates for the times you first started using specific Google services is necessary. Worst case scenario you could just guess. Since you already don't have any access now, I reckon you have nothing to lose. Good luck!
This is my first android device and I was wondering if anyone has a solution for multiple users. I don't want anyone to be able to access my email or just freely buy things through the tablet itself using my account.
I have already signed into my gmail account without thinking about it, because it is required to do most things with the tablet. This then pulled up all my emails. Since this tablet will be used by several people, I deleted the account. Should I just make a new dummy google account specifically for the tablet? Since I already signed into my account, they have sent my $25 to my email. Now I don't believe I can transfer it, but I'm curious if I can add my email account when I want to buy/install something, then delete the account and put it back to the dummy account while still being able to use whatever app I bought?
I just don't want to test these things out myself causing some other issue to popup (eg use my play credit, but apps/games/etc can't be used on another account).
Hello developers,
I don't know if i am at the right place for this but maybe there is someone that can help me.
I've been using admob for the last half year or so and was finally making some money with them. Now last week i was not able to log in to my admob account. Only this message will appear when i try to log in:
Your account has been disabled for invalid activity or repeated policy violations. Some examples include recurring manual clicks or impressions, violation of our content policies which can be found here, robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as pay-to-click, pay-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software. If you have any questions or concerns about the actions we've taken, how you can appeal this decision, or invalid activity in general, you can find more information here.
I've no idea why they would disable my account? I've really NEVER clicked my own ad? How can they just disable my account without sending me a mail or something? I already searched on google, and found a lot off people with the same problem. Some of them got their account back randomly, and some of them just lost all of their money on their accounts. My account was disabled 2 days before the payout was scheduled, which would have been 500$. I feel really sick about this because after all the hard work i get nothing. Now I don't feel like getting my account back because they don't respond to any mail or appeal i send them.
I am trying some other ad networks but they dont pay as much as admob did. I running one app on Revmob (0,00 ECMP with 2000 impressions a day??) one on mmedia (about 0,25 ECPM with 2000 impressions daily) and one in appbrain (0,40 ECPM with 500 impressions). I am currently only using banner apps. I got a ECPM of 1,10 with admob.
So I would like to know which ad networks you guys are using and what their ECPM is on banner ads. Also had anyone of you experienced the same with admob and how did you handle it?
Sorry for my maybe bad english since its not my native language.

Have you solve this problem?
I heard about this issue with other mobile ad networks (some reviews here: http://topmobileadnetworks.com/), but not with AdMob
I don't know If you tried to send an email at [email protected].
Good Luck!
did your app have anything in it that could be copyrighted? Or do you think it was too many clicks?
If you violate Admob or Google policy, your account will be terminate without notice.
Please check and read all policy or you can post your app here so some one can check for you.

I think it was because there were too many clicks (not from me of course) on the day my account got disabled, i noticed a very high click trough rate (about 3 times more than other days). It was on this application: com.kortenoeverdev.zaklamp
I feel like someone wanted to get me banned or something and intentionally clicked the ad multiple times.

If your app still on Google Play, I think you get banned by fake click. You can try contact Admob, if still can not solve, better try other Ads provider.
If my Admob publisher account gets banned, what happens to my Google Developer account? Will it get banned too?
Yes they do that frequently
I has a very rare chance for your admob account to get succeeded at the first time. I tried with it more than 8 times. Most of the time they quit my account without any notice. That the nature of google. So my main advice is to go for alternate ad networks.
If you are a android developer there are many alternatives
- Tapjoy
- Airpush
- tapgage
Some of them have higher ecpm than to admob. So try them
:angel:
I got the same problem too I can't take back my account. I was more lucky than you that my account only had $300. I was confused about starting a new admob account or use another one. The incident made me wonder: "should I always depend on Admob?".
So I decide to combine several Ad networks. It works. And I realize something about Admob:
Pros: It is reliable and has huge users database. Admob is backed by Google - a prestigious corporation who tracks every steps of anyone who use its service.
Cons:
- Its eCPM is low (I don't know exactly why but everytime I try another Ad network, they outperform Admob in terms of eCPM. I guess that Admob know it has advantages over competitors when it comes to reputation and users database, so It charge advertisers and publishers more)
- Its ban users more frequently. (Some of my friends' accounts got banned because Google thinks they was cheating, while infact he didn't. It was nearly impossible for him to reach Google support to recover his accounts).
after combining Admob and with Airpush, Leadbolt, StartApp, ChartBoost, I end up with Adsota - a lesser known ad network. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, variousa ads format, and swift payment. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!
Hello,
my AdMob account has been disabled since this morning however, I have a slight suggestion where I might have violated the policies. I have read too much negative opinions about this ad network, not to mention that I have only ONE opportunity to send them an appeal email. So not only have I lost about 500$ but I dont have any chance to reinstantiate my account either. Though I dont admit the violation, the possibility that I get my account back equals zero and I dont want to bother writing the e-mail. So my question: is it legal to set up a new admob acc with another existing gmail account with the same paypal address, same name etc? So I could create a new admob id for every app I have and replace the ids with the new ones. Is it proper? Or will they shut me down again? The only thing that I found related to this, that I will never able to use the shut down admob account again.
Thank you in advance!

My account was also disabled without explanation 3 weeks ago after 2 years of activity. I didn't change anything with my applications and didn't violate policies.
Few days before, my earnings went up beacuse application was presented on TV. I guess that was the trigger to disable my account.
I sent an appeal mail three times but didn't receive reply. I'm so dissapointed because not only that they won't pay my earnings, but I also had some money left for advertising which I can't access now. I don't know how to call that but STEALING!
I wouldn't bother to set up new AdMob account because they would certainly shut it down again. I already switched to the new network.

What happens to my Google Developer account, if my Admob Publisher account gets banned? Do they ban Google developer account also?
Me too had the same problem
I have been publishing ads from Admob for few years now.
Although performance is not good as last year, when it comes to generating income, it still is the best mobile ad networks out there.
Not so best on other aspects of a healthy business relationship! Today they have closed my publisher account. When I try to login I get below message
“Your account has been disabled for invalid activity or repeated policy violations.

There is no other explanation, contact or email from Admob regarding the reason. I don’t know what wasn’t right with my site that caused my account to be closed.
As I’ve said I’ve been with them long time and as a sane person I would never jeopardise income coming from Admob with fake clicks. The only thing I think of is possible some adult content on my site. My site is community site and it is almost impossible to moderate content fast enough. I’ve to rely on automated check and reports from other users.
This shows how valuable we publishers are to Admob and Google. They just dismiss you even though you have been loyal to them long time.
I felt sad, I shouldn’t. This is business and putting all of your eggs in one basket makes you vulnerable!
Take my advice and never ever rely on one company! One day they might stab you at the back!

They will eventually reply to your email if you send it to AdMob support. This is the explanation that I finally received:
Your account was disabled for violating AdMob's terms and conditions in a way that's treated as spam

I don't know what is Google's definition of spam but my application or anything related to it is definitely not spam.
At least they returned me advertising funds which I didn't spent. I'm now using notification ads from Leadbolt and was started to earn five more times than with Admob but now with this new Google content policy unfortunately it won't last too long

Hello
In my account I have 3 suspended apps, by miracle I'm still operational.
If I create a new account, like in your description, new pc, new credit card etc ...
1) I transfer only 5 apps, those where I earn more, and close the old account.
I would be clean again with zero suspension, correct?
2) In the passage of these apps, there is the danger that they find a problem and I close the account?
3) If they close the account, I also lose money from the payment of the previous month that should make me day 21?
Until the day 21 I'm not doing anything, not even an update, but as I understand if they check for any reason they can close the account, then wait for me to pay this month and then I try to create a new account, I transfer my app where I gain and close the old forever.
If I close the developer account, can I use the same admob account for the new developer account?
Thank you!
Yes, it is possible.

Yes, you can create a new Admob account, but please ensure to resolve the policy violation or else the new account may also be blocked.
