AdSense slowly rolling out migration tool
If you are like me, your Google AdSense account isn't hooked up to your Google Account because you signed up when it was first launched. Over the next while, Google will be migrating old AdSense publishers to the new Google Account system — just like Blogger did in August.
You may find this screen next time you log into your account — but if not, don't worry, they are rolling it out in slow motion.
We're rolling out this migration slowly, so please don't be alarmed if you don't see this wizard in your account yet. If you like the email address you're already using, in most cases you'll be able to upgrade it to a Google Account and keep the same login and password. However, if you use another email address for other Google products like Gmail and Picasaweb, you already have a Google Account and you can finally use the same login for AdSense. Please note, however, that at this time it's not possible to update your login to an email address that is already being used as a login for AdWords or another AdSense account. We're working on fixing this, and you won't be required to migrate until we do.
It also sounds like they may have some new features up their sleeve too — they warn against choosing to skip the wizard because of this.
You're also welcome to skip the migration wizard for now if you like, although this means you may miss out on some cool new features!
