Hello Anash, We have still no news at all.
- We have sent 7 or 8 emails to adwordsapi-tok...@google.com (I am not counting anymore) - We have been posting many times on this forum - We are not the V3 of the product for which need access to the API (powerpoint presentation sent to adwordsapi-tokens + 3p compliance on 25th of april) - We have now asked 5 Google employees (including you) to email "API approval" team and it seems the answers given to them was something like "work in progress" (we never saw the answer ourselves). - We have had to stop our recruitment process because of this issue (this is obviously the most important point - but does anyone care?) - We are adwords certified, speak at adwords seminar (I am actually speaking on the 7th of may, as requested by Google inc. - let's hope no one discusses the API) - We have adapted our product line to make sure we comply at 100% with adwords API terms and conditions. - We have noticed that many people are in the same situation (well it just takes a visit on the forum). So what else can we do? The people in charge of approving API access have put in a desperate situation and have completely ignored us for months. We were just expecting answers, solutions and we were ready to adapt to any request. - Do we need to initiate legal action (we have objective proof from partners using MCCs that tokens can be approved in much less time)? - Do we need to send 15 registered letters to different Google employees to make them aware of this situation. - Do we need to use network and connections within Google to make sure that Google top management knows about this (it will take a couple of phone calls but it is a shame to have to use such methods and disturb people that have nothing to do with API tokens within Google's organisation - these are methods used in corrupted organisations as far as I know)? - Do we need to get a token via Odesk (or any other developer platform)? We have been offered by several "freelance" developers to use a "adwords API token" they had already used for other clients (once again, if you need proof of this, I can email it to you). Yes, there is now a black market for developer tokens. Thank you again for taking the time to get back to us - I am sorry that we all have to waste so much time and energy on this issue, Benoit On Friday, April 27, 2012 8:06:07 AM UTC+2, Anash P.
