Google Adsense frustrates web publishers

I am a big fan of Google’s products but I experienced something recently that has forced me to change the way I think about Google. I thought Google has good customer service and they are very good with resolving issues faced by their users but I was wrong.

Recently I decided to put Ads on my blog and found out that Google AdSense offers the best solution for making money through online Ads (although I have never clicked on a Google Ad). So I registered for AdSense only to find out 1 day later that my application was rejected because my domain name (wasifmalik.com)  was pointing to an “Under Construction” page (although my blog was up and running on http://wasifmalik.com/blog at that time). Fair enough. So I updated my domain name settings so that it points towards my blog and then tried to resubmit my application by going to the URL provided by Google AdSense (see excerpt below).

But whenever I try to login I am redirected to the same login page. I tried clearing up my cache, cookies etc. but I am still facing the same issue. I “googled” the issue and found out that I was not alone and there were other users who were facing the same problem. Infact it is the most popular discussion on Google AdSense forums at the moment. Other bloggers have also reported this issue.

The “login loop issue” or the “endless login cycle” as some users are calling it, has frustrated  so many web publishers who want to put Ads on their sites/blogs. Some users have been facing this issue for months and Google has been unable to provide a workaround or a permanent fix to this issue. See posts by annoyed users here.

Google, I know you want to “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful“, but I would really appreciate it if you fix my AdSense login issue first.

Another blog that has reported the same issue.
