Wizard's Blog

Those of you who don’t use AdBlock may have noticed that my blog is now showing public service ads instead of the usual contextual AdSense ads.

There’s a message on my AdSense account saying:

Your pages are displaying Public Service Advertisements (PSAs) because you have not verified your contact information.

I think what it’s talking about is the new phone verification system where they give you a code, you give them a phone number, they phone you up and you put the code in.  Or the other way around, I’m not really clear on it.

Here’s the Catch-22 though: I don’t have the option to perform the phone verification until I’ve earned $10, but I can’t earn any more money because it’s showing PSA’s because I haven’t performed the phone verification…

I sent a message to Google asking for help, but so far there has been no reply.
