I am trying to set up Google Adsense and I don't know where to find the URL to add as "website." When I put the URL in that I used for Google Analytics, which works there, a note pops up and says it is not a personal website. Can anyone offer some words of wisdom ... please? I would be extremely grateful as this setup is somewhat frustrating for me. Thanks ...
It's best not to apply for GA until you have at least 10-15 good quality articles published.

Welcome to HubPages anyway and good to meet another Golden Doodle lover.
We have six altogether (the GD, 2 labs, 2 shorkies and a dorkie).
Max is the best, I love this breed, he is my first one. We always had Golden Retrievers and still do, but Max came along and I had to have him. He was an adorable puppy and a beautiful dog. He likes to bark more than my retrievers, but that is the only little thing that can be annoying at times..
If you apply for Adsense through the HP program, you shouldn't have this problem. However, as raggededge, you need at least 10 good quality hubs that at least have been featured before you even have a chance of being accepted for Adsense. Work on that first and THEN apply through HP. It will be much easier than trying to apply for your own website. If you do start a website later, you'll already have Adsense, so that will be easier for you also. You can only have one Adsense account.
Thank you so much. I do already have an Adsense account which I want to change from a defunct website to my Hubpages. I will put up 10 articles first, thanks again.
Ah, okay, you just need to add your Adsense code to your Hubpages account. Don't worry yet about adding HP URLs to Adsense. You can do that later, I think.
PS Ignore Peachpurple's advice about needing 50 hubs. She's wrong
Thanks, that 50 scared me... thanks for your help....
Roz, I already had an adsense account when I started with HP. I have heard that you have to get a new HP account but I do not think this is true; I just added the number to my account page. It worked out okay.
Yes, definitely create at least 10 good articles and then simply add the code for your existing Adsense account to the area on HP where you sign up. You won't have to wait for approval because you already are approved. The 10 articles actually will just be a way to show Adsense that you are serious about using the original code on HP's site.
Do you have more than 50 hubs? If yes, then you can add in the GA

So it seems I have a predicament. I don't have an Adsense account as over at IB they manage it for me, and I don't need one. I do however need one here...I thought if I just went with enabling the hub pages ad program I could disable the adsense and it would be cool, but now I see I still have to...

I already have an active google adsense account. After signing up with hubpage, I wanted to link it to my hub. I received the confirmation email to authorize hubpage to link to my google adsense. However, when I check back with my affiliate settings in hubpage, it is still not set. I've tried to...

Yesterday, when I went to check my adsense account, the google site kept telling me to sign up for a new account--didn't recognize that I already had one. There is no place to sign in either. And google adsense help wasn't helpful either. Same thing happened whether I tried to access...

Have any of you found detestable ads on your hubs? It is a "game" with girls in bras...how distasteful I want it off my hub...do you know if we have a say in this? It has nothing to do with my poem and is disgusting to me.

Because of some technical problems with the Google AdSense API, since Thursday evening you can not associate or create a new Google AdSense account through the HubPages Affiliate Settings Page. If you try, the error you see will say an internal error occurred, which indicates a problem in...
