Google Adwords API Tokens - Approved!

Finally. After a 2-week wait.

Your AdWords API tokens have been approved!

Congratulations!

Based on the information you provided during registration, your Developer Token and Application Token have been approved and activated for use with the AdWords API. Your approved tokens are on your AdWords API Center page (see Account details below). In the meantime, if you haven't already done so, you must accept the AdWords API Terms and Conditions and provide your billing information to be able to access the API.

About your tokens:
Each token is a unique string of letters, numbers and symbols that serves as a key for accessing the AdWords API. Both tokens must be included in all request headers for API operations. Please incorporate them into your headers as soon as possible so that you can begin accessing the AdWords API.

Account details:
Log in to your My Client Center (MCC) account at
https://adwords.google.com

Then, click on your 'My Account' tab. Here, you'll find a link to your AdWords API Center with your approved Developer Token and Application Token, as well as your latest usage stats.

Billing information:
Billing for API usage began in November 2006. The 'Billing Summary' page within the 'My Account' tab will link to invoices with details about API charges and usage. To learn more about how your credit card will be billed for API usage, please read our FAQ at:

Note that if you are a high-volume Adwords advertiser you may also get your API tokens approved faster by calling Google Adwords staff... It worked for Larry (he's a big spender).
It may take several weeks to get approved though. So you should definitely plan ahead.
But there are ways to start developing applications without having the tokens approved yet. Just use bogus data from the API sandbox combined with data from the Adwords tools for example...

OK. So I'm just about ready to test HexaTrack... Should be all ready to go by end of next week.

After that, it's time to refocus on Silo Publisher feature upgrades and new functionality.
One of them is a keyword suggestion function for your meta tags and on-page topics for your articles to help you with keyword diversity. It won't replace Theme Zoom or anything, but will be a quick help function.
