Google Affiliate Network publisher payments are now delivered through Google AdSense. In order to retire the legacy payment systems, all Google Affiliate Network publishers were required to link their affiliate account to an approved AdSense account before October 31, 2009. This integration is central to the development of our affiliate network and it provides a foundation for future growth and further improvements.
Nearly all productive Google Affiliate Network publishers successfully linked. Publishers who either chose not to link, could not link because of a previous issue with an AdSense account, or thought they linked but for some reason were unsuccessful have been deactivated. However, missing the October 31st deadline does not mean a publisher cannot continue to work with Google Affiliate Network. Any publisher (with an approved AdSense account) is welcome to reapply through our new-to-network process.
We recognize that change can be confusing and we truly appreciate our users cooperation. We look forward to closing out 2009 with a great holiday shopping season.

Why do your employees lie to your affiliates? I've been told since August that I did all the right steps and I was still deactivated. Now you expect me reapply and change links on hundreds of site. Why would I do that when I can just use links from other networks that don't lie.

Also, have you told you advertisers that they lost hundreds of LARGE publishers, that give seven figures in sales. Many of whom are discussing it here http://forum.abestweb.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87

I am confused. I had ads on my site for the affilites that I was interested in and approved. Then when I had to change to the adsence program by Oct 31 - I changed and was approved. Now I can no longer see what clicks I had on my affiliate ads. I can log in to the Adsence program, but I have no reports.
I don't really understand the adsence thing. Is the idea to put the google search on your site and get visitors to click?? I think I understand the adsense google search and the affiliate program are different, but where did my reports go? Help.
