google map api key not working, need a defferent key

sorry, I know this question might be too common, but I really couldn't figure out why the google map on my site is not working, I did following what the documentation told me to do, I sign up a google map api key, and I implement the follwoing code:

    <script type="text/javascript" 
  src="http://maps.google.com/maps?   file=api&v=2&sensor=false&key=mykey">
    </script>

I did replace mykey with the google map key for the url I entered during sign up, but when I go to my website, there still show me a alert saying that the site need a different google map api key, I wonder this could be other reasons but I can't think any, anyone could help me with that, any help will be greatly appreciated!

use google maps v3, you only need a key for maps v2:

How does the Google Maps APIs key system work?

Note: Google Maps API keys are only required when using the JavaScript Maps API V2 and the Maps API for Flash.

Where did you sign up for your key? The Maps API now uses keys that are generated through the API console: https://code.google.com/apis/console so you can go there and generate a new key.
