What to do if you don’t receive Adsense PIN letter via post service on your home address

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

What to do if you haven’t received your adsense confirmation PIN letter after 2 PIN requestsI’m running a Google adsense account for some time and I have some adsense advertisements on my website to make some money to at least pay my home internet.
Everything went fine with Google authorizing my website for adsense , however after I’ve filed all the data in my Google Adsense account in account settings , yet I needed a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that is usually sent by google by a normal post services (as a letter).

As I’ve already filled in my address details in Google and requested a PIN to be sent to my mailbox, usually I had to receive it in about 3 to 6 weeks time as Google manuals prescribe.

Nevertheless that was not the case with me, I haven’t received anything from Google for about a month and a half time, then I decided to request a second PIN confirmation.
Anyways the second one didn’t arrived again for about 1.5 months, so once again requested the Google adsense PIN to be re-sent to me in order to be able to laters withdraw my money via Western Union.

Today after logging to my Google adsense account I red the following unpleasent text:

Your pages are displaying Public Service Advertisements (PSAs) because you haven't yet verified your PIN and/or phone number. See the Payment History page for more details.
I also realized no money are generated to my google adsense account for clicks and impressions anymore!

What a shit man, what a shit!

Now google’s pocket is filling with my website advertise clicks money …
That’s definitely not cool!
What was really even stranger is that actually my account was disabled with a Total estimated earnings = 36.68 EUR
That’s strange because in the google adsense documentation it’s stated that the account will start showing the Public Service Advertisements (PSAs) after it reaches 70 EUR ?

Afterwards, I’ve used Google’s Adsense help to request Adsense Phone Verification

And now I’m waiting for theim to call me on my mobile phone.

If you have the same problem you can read a very helpful article on the topic of problems with getting adsense PIN letter here

Moreover it seems it is possible to
request an adsense PIN code via email from this link

Anyhow if you use the above link to request your Google adsense PIN via email, you will have to attach also a copy of your ID next this email and some other information as requested from google.

Another helpful tip that I’ve red while I was investigating on the alternative ways to get your PIN in a quick way is to send as less emails to the google adsense account as possible.
I have to say that Google were really quick in their answer they answered in 7 hours time after I’ve reported the problem and requested that my PIN be mailed to me.

I’ve received the following email from Google adsense support
