Re: Adwords API token pending approval for over 1 month

2012-03-29 Thread Jared Livingston
I, too, have been waiting for several weeks for my approval. I have emailed 
the adwordsapi-tokens email address multiple times without so much as a 
thanks, we'll get back to you reply. Is there anything I can do to speed 
this process? My client is getting impatient...

Regards,

Jared

 Hello,

 We have now been in discussion with adwordsapi-tokens *AT* google.com for 
 over 5 weeks and we are still waiting for approval.

 We are an adwords qualified partner, google analytics qualified, part of 
 the local Google agency program, have been discussing directly with google 
 about making presentations  there, have worked for months on an application 
 which requires access to the API, we have recently sent a fully revised 
 application to make sure that we are now 100% compliant with adwords API 
 terms and conditions and 

 we are still waiting for an answer.

 If there is still an issue: let us know what we need to fix.

 Considering that access to the API is critical for us (our business, our 
 jobs - yes, it is really important), we really hope a human being reads 
 this message and gets back to us.

 Best regards,
 Ben

 Hi, 
 Over 1 month ago I requested an API token. 2 weeks ago I was requested 
 further information which I provided. Unfortunately since then I have 
 not received any update on my token and the status is still Pending 
 Approval. 
 I see this forum gets very good support so I would be very happy if 
 anybody can help me in letting me know what can I do to speed up the 
 process 
 Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Adwords Tokens

2012-03-29 Thread Jared Livingston
Hi Anash,

Can you shed any light on what the expected wait time is for token 
approval? Is it normal for the process to take several weeks? If so, it 
might be nice to mention so when people apply for a token. We are still 
waiting for a decision on our application for an API token, and our wait 
has already been several weeks.

Regards,

Jared

 Hi,

 As Pete and Ewan mentioned earlier, please direct your complaints about 
 token review process to adwordsapi-tok...@google.com. While I can ping 
 the team to draw their attention to reviews that are taking too long, it is 
 not upto me to comment on the decision of the token review team.

 Cheers,

 The tool sitefactor has nothing to do with with our api application. 

  where exactly are you getting your Google Ranking data from?

 The Google API doesn´t offer any ranking data. sitefactor is violating 
 none of the google guidelines and it has nothing to do with Adwords at all.

 seonative is a seriouse seo agency and also a sem agency:

 http://www.seonative.de/leistungen/suchmaschinenmarketing/

 We had (and have) lots of campaigns for our clients. We have also 
 presented the API Team our API application to the last detail and 
 we have invested a lot of money and time into our API application.

 Almost all of our campaigns are paused for the time being.  And we still 
 planned to start a campaign offensive, however we need our tool for this! 

 Google has promised us first activation within 3 days and then are 
 rejected because of sitefactor. I thought it is a misunderstanding. All our 
 emails will be ignored since then. This is not acceptable to good 
 adwords customer!

 I don´t understand the problem. If Google really feared that we would want 
 to use the API for other things, then they can make a review in a few 
 days/weeks.

 And then they will see: Big campaigns - managed by a good API application.

 But after I've read in this and other forums that many others have the 
 same problem and have also spoken directly with many people I have still 
 the 
 impression that Google doesn´t want to have new Api users and the 
 Approval process is a fake. 

 Ist there anybody with an successful approval in the last months? I don´t 
 think so.

 Please note: 

 Google AdWords requires that you have to invest money and time in the 
 development of the API application!  You need the application in advance! 

 Why Google are treating the API activation in such a restrictive way now? 
 I dont understand - sorry.

 Google offered any API that gives access to such data. Are you using 
 mechanical turk to check each search term manually? If not then do you 
 think that might be why you can't get an API token?
