We do not currently support linking to an AdWords account managed through the AdWords MCC

Question

I am trying to use admob ads for the first time in an Android application. My first step was to login through their page: https://www.admob.com/home/login/login

I am trying to use an existing google google account, this is one of the possible options. Since I am from Croatia, I use this link: https://apps.admob.com/admob/signup

After logging in, a red error message appears:

We do not currently support linking to an AdWords account managed through the AdWords MCC

and the page says: Log in with a different Google account.

I do not want to use another google account, and I never used AdWords (there is no account there). Does anyone have a solution for this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Here's how I solved it:

• Log in to your Adwords account, click the help link, and open a chat.
• Explain your problem and ask to convert your Adwords account into a regular Adwords account.
• Wait for a change request to be requested from Google.

They said that I had to wait 24 hours, but that was not necessary. I clicked just a couple of seconds after the shift, and he went through the trough.
