Old AdSense account was automatically deactivated for inactivity. New application keeps saying "Your account wasn't approved". Could this be treated as a duplicate account?
Hi everyone,
I'm a bit confused and hoping someone has dealt with this before.
A few years ago, I had an AdSense account under a different Gmail. I never earned anything from it, and after a long period of inactivity, Google automatically deactivated it. It now shows a "Reactivate account" button.
Recently, I created a new AdSense application using my personal Gmail for my new website.
My application keeps returning to "Your account wasn't approved" with only a Resubmit button. When I open the AdSense help page linked from the dashboard, the first issue listed is duplicate AdSense accounts, which made me wonder if my old inactive account is the problem.
I have not reactivated the old account because I don't want to accidentally end up with two active accounts.
Has anyone experienced this?
Should I:
Reactivate the old account and use that instead?
Continue with the new account?
Or contact Google before doing anything?
I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who's been through this. Thanks!
