Hi, Sandy. Thanks for the information on Word Ads. I guess I should look into that facility for my WP-hosted blog, even though I can’t use it on my GoDaddy-hosted blog site. Incidentally, I’ve been in contact with GoDaddy over issues involving WP, and it seems that WP is not sharing information very well. For a while, all problem reports were supposed to go through WP, but now it looks like the GoDaddy site is taking over the problem reports on their hosted WP sites. GoDaddy support is outstanding, while little support is available with WP. Thus, I suspect that it was GoDaddy’s idea to take on the problem reports between the two systems.
For a while, GoDaddy, WordPress, and Google were making major changes all at the same time. During that time, I completely lost my connections to be able to use Google’s AdWords. Since I lost AdWords first on my WP-hosted blog site before losing it with my GoDaddy-hosted site, I thought it was a WP problem. It may still be, but I think Google messed up somewhere, too. I may need to “unlink” all my Google sites and start over. So, I would be interested in seeing how you did adding Google AdWords and AdSense to your account.
Back to the drawing board for me, too!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. However… For quite a while, from my own blog site I was able to find bloggers with blogging interests similar to mine. Now it has disappeared, and is not available, as you pointed out, on the WP .org or .com sites. Although this was never available on my outside hosted site, it only recently disappeared from my WP hosted site. I found it useful for connecting with like-minded bloggers. Thus, I would like to know what happened to it.

Sandy, I had similar problems. At first, I was convinced it was GoDaddy that wasn’t keeping up with changes in WordPress. With problems I experienced with my WordPress hosted account over the past two days, I believe the problem is with WordPress–probably with the interaction of WordPress and Google, which sponsers AdWords. As with you, AdWords is not functioning on my GoDaddy based site. In spite of the fact that my GoDaddy hosted site was recognized by Google, the recognition has not only disappeared in via WordPress, but cannot be found. WordPress has been making changes that may or may not be shared with appropriate resources, too, however. Although I was trying to reply to this post and I was already logged in through my WordPress hosted account, I was directed to log in. When I tried to log in with my account information, the response was that my ID was not found. I had to re-register using my full email address. Then, when I logged in with the “new identity,” a message appeared saying I was already logged in, why do I want to log in again? WordPress has been a frustrating experience recently, and I need to write a note of apology to GoDaddy for blaming them for the problems.
If you find a solution to the AdWords problem, please post it here. You are not the only one having difficulties with this process.
Best,
Eleanore
