Notice Something DIFFERENT About Your Adsense Account?

It seems that there has been a little cosmetic change to your Adsense account!

It seems that Adsense has changed the way your Adsense account page looks. According to their blog they assure us Adsense publishers that these changes do not affect the way our Adsense earnings are calculated.

Did you already see this? If not, take a look at the screen shot below:



As you can see the top portion of the screenshot shows the way your Adsense page looked BEFORE Adsense changed it. The top of your adsense page used to say "Today's Earnings" but NOW it says "Today's ESTIMATED Earnings!

According to Adsense this change that they have made will not affect your Adsense earnings.

Basically what they are saying is that your adsense earnings aren't officially tabulated until your adsense earning numbers are verified (which usually occurs around the 10th of the next month before they send your Adsense payment).

I can honestly say that I have seen this happen on my own Adsense account where at the end of the month there will be an Adsense earning total but by the 10th of the next month that Adsense earning number has changed - in my case it changed to a higher number - thank goodness.

A more detailed explanation of this can be found on the official Adsense blog by clicking here.

Guess What! Adsense Publisher Being Blackmailed!

Adsense Pirates?

I could hardly believe it when I read about it!

It seems that one of the Adsense publishers was being blackmailed from someone (the place of origin seems to be from Algeria) who was using their Adsense search engine to click multiple times on the Adsense ads. Of course that made the Adsense publisher's adsense earnings go up but its also a red flag to invalid click activity!.

After the Adsense publsiher's adsense earnings went up they received an email from the blackmailer wanting the Adsense publisher to send them half of the Adsense money that they earned because of the increased clicks otherwise the blackmailer would continue to make many Adsense clicks thereby causing a red flag to Adsense in the hopes that Adsense would ban the Adsense publisher's account!

Fortunately from what I know so far, the Adsense publisher didn't give in to the blackmailer but posted about their experience online.

If you want to know how to make money from home using Google's Adsense program here is a simple explanation:

First you have to have a website or blog and you have to make sure that your sites will be able to have the Google Adsense ads on them. Not ALL hosting sites let you to be able to add Adsense ads to them!

One you have your website or blog you can then submit it to Google's Adsense program. They will need to know this information because they will first have to review and approve your site before you can be accepted into the Adsense program.

Once your site has been approved you will then go through the steps of deciding the style and look of your Adsense ads. You don't get to choose which advertisers appear on your site because that will be determined by the content (wording) on your site.

Are You Intersted In Taking An Adsense Survey?

If you are an Adsense publisher then you might be interested in taking a survey that they are offering.

So far I can't see any mention of one getting paid or given a gift of some kind.

Adsense says the survey is to help them receive feedback on how they can make their Adsense program better.

You can take a look at the survey by clicking here but when you go to the link you'll have to sign in to your Adsense account first.

The most major reason that Google disables an account is because of click fraud / invalid clicks.

There have been a few who have managed to appeal the decision and have actually managed to get their disabled Adsense account back!

The Earliest Adsense Payment?

Well I know that us Adsense Publishers are anxiously awaiting our "payment in progress" lines unfortunately it won't be showing up during the weekend! Maybe Monday or maybe Tuesday at the earliest - I, myself am hoping for Monday!

However just in case you are curious, the earliest that I have gotten an Adsense payment was during December. It seems that Adsense tries to give us our earnings in time for us to spend it before Christmas. (It is rumored that Adsense tries to pay out the "payment in progress" process sooner during the month of December so that they can "close the year" as soon as possible.)

But the earliest that I have ever gotten an Adsense payment was on December 22nd when I got my Adsense in check form.

Unfortunately this past December I didn't get my Adsense payment until AFTER December 25th! You see I got the "PIP" (payment in progress) line on December 24th and since it usually takes 24 hours I actually had to wait 48 hours because of the Christmas (Dec. 25th) holiday.

On months other than December my earliest Adsense payments have been on the 23rd of the month! The latest? Actually got one on the 29th of the month - Yikes - that one was agony!

It really depends on the format of the month and even then you can't say that 100% - so it is very iffy as to when we will actually get our Adsense payment but the average date is usually the 25th of the month - sometimes earlier and sometimes later but the 25th of the month is about the average.

It Seems That Not Everyone Is A Fan Of The Adsense Program!

I got the most interesting comment for this blog a few days ago but it had so many curse words in it that I decided not to add the comments to this blog.

Basically what the comment said was that who ever posted the comment didn't seem to be too happy with the Adsense program. Basically what they said was that as soon as one starts to make money with the Adsense program then Adsense cancels your account!

Of course this is not true for everybody. I take it that this person has had a very bad experience with the Adsense program and I really don't know if it was their fault or if it was Adsense's fault. The person that posted the comment didn't leave any details on why they felt this way so I have no way of knowing!

If you really have a problem with the Adsense program then you should really state the details as to why! There have been times when the powers that be at Adsense have admitted that they have made mistakes and they do take steps to solve those mistakes. Adsense publishers have been known to appeal being discontinued from the Adsense program and they have won their appeals!

So if you really have a problem with the Adsense program then you should really include some details and let us know why you feel so strongly against the Adsense program because we may be able to help you!

That is of course why I am an Adsense Consultant - after all!
