My "Payment In Progress" Arrived On Thanksgiving????

Well imagine my surprise when I found out that my "PIP" arrived on November 24th, which just happened to be Thanksgiving Day!

Actually I wasn't even able to see my "payment in progress" line until today! Why? It seems that I had some trouble being able to log in to my Adsense account for the past few days!

I only learned about it when I went to one of the Adsense-related forums and found out that others had gotten their "PIP's" on the 24th. Even after I found that out I still wasn't able to log into my account!

Now I thought that since the 24th was the Thanksgiving holiday I thought sure that my adsense money wouldn't post until today meaning that I wouldn't be able to spend my adsense money until Monday!

But I decided to check my account any way and lo and behold the money was in my account early this morning!

As you can see below I got a "screen capture" of my PIP for November!

This is really a confusing kind of thing in that it makes figuring out the adsense payment process more confusing than ever! But I'm thankful that I did get my Adsense payment earlier than I expected.

It will be very interesting to see how it all turns out next month because the 25th of December is, of course, Christmas Day! In the past, the adsense payments have arrived just a little bit earlier during the December months, more often than not, so it will be very interesting to see when our "payment in progress" line will show up next month?


And to make things more interesting, I just looked at my calendar and the 25th falls on a Sunday!!!!!!!!!!! So that is going to make it much more interesting...........

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment" - Sort Of

If you are not aware of it by now, Adsense has a new interface system in place now.

So the old "You are scheduled to be sent a payment" screen is no longer there.

Now, when you log into your Google Adsense account and go to your home page you will be greeted with a variety of information including when your next payment is scheduled to be sent.

Since I will be receiving an Adsense payment this month I couldn't tell you what kind of message would pop up if no payment was due you the current month.

So checking my adsense account details today, I didn't see the old "You are scheduled to be sent a payment" screen but what I was greeted with was:

Next payment To be issued by Dec 1, 2011

Well My PIP Has FINALLY Arrived Today!

checked my adsense account today and my "payment in progress" FINALLY showed up today!

I'm a little disappointed that it didn't show up yesterday - only because I would have preferred to be able to spend the money today.

Now I have to wait until tomorrow to be able to spend my adsense money - oh the torture of waiting!

I Was REALLY hoping to see my "PIP" today.....

but it looks like its not going to happen today







There have been some people who have been posting that they received their "payment in progress" lines today.....



but so far I haven't seen mine yet..........

You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment.....

I saw this message on my adsense account today, so you know what that means............I'll be getting my adsense payment sometime soon.

I'm betting that my "payment in progress line will show up on Tuesday.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.............

My "Payment In Progress" Has Been Received!

Sorry I'm so late posting about this! I was so excited to get my "PIP" that I just went out and spent some of it.

I was kind of bummed that I didn't get the "payment in progress" last Friday but what can you do but wait!!!!

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment This Month......."

Checked in with my Adsense account today and saw the message that you see on the right.

What does this mean? It means that the payment process has begun but we haven't actually gotten the "payment in progress" line yet. But at least we know that the process has begun.

I'm hoping that my prediction about us getting our "PIP" for September 2011 on Friday comes true. (I'm even hoping that it might show up tomorrow!)

I'm Guessing As To When We Will Receive Our Next Adsense Payment.........

I have been looking at some previous months that have the same date format as this month, September 2011. I was trying to calculate when our next adsense payment would be.

I have been looking at past calendar dates and I'm guessing that we may see our "payment in progress" line on September 23rd which happens to be on a Friday. This means that if you get your adsense payment by bank transfer then you may not actually get to spend the money until Monday (after the weekend).

You see September only has 30 days in it and when I did some comparisons if September had 31 days then the "PIP" would show up on the 26th - which is that next Monday after the weekend.

Now I have done comparisons before and sometimes have been and sometimes have been wrong - who knows - we may even see the "payment in progress" line on Thursday the 22nd! (or as late as Tuesday the 27th)

You can never tell with Adsense!



So lets see if my prediction comes true............

"Payment Issued!"

I forgot to do this yesterday but I'm showing you a copy of my "payment issued" line for my Adsense earnings this month.

If I would have done this yesterday then you would see "payment in progress" instead of what you see above - which is "payment issued".

"Payment in progress" means that the process for getting your adsense payment has begun. When you see the "payment issued" line it means exactly that - that your payment has been issued.

Now if you get your adsense payment by regular check you could still see the "payment issued" line before you actually get your adsense payment and that is because it means that your payment has been issued (by regular check) but you have not received it yet.

If you get your adsense payments via bank transfer, then when you get the "payment issued" line - that should mean that your money has been transferred and should be showing in your account.

Have I spent any of my Adsense money yet? Of course I have!

I Got My "Payment In Progress" Line Today!

Well the suspense is over! I got my "Payment in Progress" line today and I am oh-so-happy!

I haven't check the other adsense-related forums yet because I was very anxious to see whether or not my "PIP" would be in this month (August 2011) but I will check around to see what is being talked about on the "grapevine".

So I'm very happy that I got my "payment in progress" line today. It means that I should be able to spend the money by tomorrow!

Hopefully the rest of you Adsense Publishers will be getting their "PIP's" soon!

Payment In Progress! July 2011!

Well my "payment in progress" line finally showed up today!


I thought for sure that it would show up yesterday but it didn't so I did a little checking around to see if anyone else had gotten their PIP. I checked one forum and 2 people reported that they had gotten their PIP's for July 2011.

One person posted that they got their "payment in progress" line and they were from the U.K. The second person that posted said that they got their PIP and that they were from Michigan and they get their Adsense payments by check.

But that was yesterday and today is today and I'm glad to report that I finally got my "payment in progress" line today. That means that I should be able to spend my Adsense money tomorrow (or if I follow Rose's tip - I can start to spend it later on today! )

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment.." - NOT!

Just thought that I would check in with everybody and tell you that I haven't received the "You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment" thingie yet.

It makes me worry because the later this line appears, the later for the Adsense payment!

Update!


July 22nd I checked in with my adsense account and saw the "You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment" line!


This means that the "payment in progress" process has begun!

Well I Got My Payment In Progress Line Today!

I was actually looking at some blogs and actually got "scoopped" by another person's blog where I left them a comment.

Yes I got my "PIP" today!

Unfortunately this month I will have to wait until Monday until I can actually spend that Adsense money. Usually I just follow a tip from Rose where I could start spending the money before Monday but for this particular month I will just have to wait until Moday.

It's really going to be torture to wait for so long but I 'gotta do it!

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment......"

I checked my adsense account today and saw the message "You are scheduled to be sent a payment....... which means of course that I will be getting my adsense payment this month.

It kind of worries me though that I'm just seeing this message today. Why? Well let me explain.............

The average date that we adsense publishers expect to see the "payment in progress" line is on the 25th of the month. However this month the 25th falls on a Saturday! I don't think there has ever been a record of getting a "PIP" on a Saturday (or a Sunday for that matter).

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will at least see my PIP on Thursday - which is tommorrow - because that would mean that I would be able to spend the money before the weekend!

There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting!

Sorry, I have been away for a few days but I have been checking the forums and people have posted that they have received their "PIP"'s.

Mostly the people that have posted have been posting from the United States.

I suspect that I should see my own "payment in progress" very soon!

Update!

I have received my "PIP"! Yeah!!!!!

My PIP Has FINALLY Arrived!

Well my "payment in progress" line has FINALLY arrived!

Didn't get a chance to check until around 4pm today but finally I see that it has shown up for me!

I see that there are a few comments that I have to get to but I bet for sure that they concern the "PIP"!

It doesn't look good!

Well it looks as though someone from the U.K. has posted that they have received their "payment in progress" for their google adsense payment. They posted that they get their adsense payment by check.

Usually this is a sign that at least the "PIP" process has begun and in similar situations like this people from the US start to post that they receive their "payment in progress" lines the next day.

It really is quite dissappointing that this process is coming so much later in the month. I really thought that we would be seeing it today at the very least!

No PIP's yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it looks as though there isn't any "payment in progress" lines for today! No one has posted yet that they have received their "PIP".

This is very dissappointing news to us adsense publishers and I'm sure that everyone is getting quite anxious!

I'll let you know as soon as possible when I hear some "payment in progress" news.............

Update

I did a recent comparison and according to a past month ith the same date format (October 2010), the "PIP" came on that Tuesday which was the 26th - so the "payment in progress" line may show up tommorrow

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment" - NOT!

Just in case you were curious I haven't received the "you are scheduled to receive a payment" thing on my adsense account yet. Though I know that I will be getting a payment this month I still haven't received the above message yet.

Well the 25th of the month is on a Monday and in a few days we will be in the Easter holiday cycle so I'm wondering whether or not we will be receiving the "payment in progress" line next Monday or Tuesday - which really isn't that long of a wait but it still is a wait just the same..........

There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting!

I have been visiting the related "PIP" boards and it looks as though people from the US have posted that they have gotten their "payment in process" posts on their adsense accounts.

So mine (and yours) shouldn't be too far behind!

PIP! - I Got My Payment In Progress Line Today

Yes! I got my "PIP" today! Checked it at around 3pm "Philly"-time and there it was!

If I'm itching to spend the money today, I'm going to do what Rose suggested. She found a way to be able to spend her Adsense money a little earlier!

So the wait is over for this month of February!

There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting!

There has been a "PIP" sighting for this month - February 2011!

According to one of the more popular Google Adsense related forums there have been more than 1 or 2 people who have posted that they have received their "payment in progress" lines on their adsense accounts!

One person that posted is from the States and they receive their adsense payment by check. Even someone from the UK has posted that they have received their "PIP" and they get their google adsense payment by check.

So far no one has posted that they received their "payment in progress" - those who get their adsense payment by EFT / Bank transfer.

Although it seems as though there may be a ray of hope because today is not over yet and it seems that some think that maybe adsense will post "PIP's" for those that receive their adsense payment by EFT after 2 pm today. (It seems to have something to do with how banks will process direct deposits at specific times of the day).

So today is not over yet and I'm will keep my fingers crossed that my "PIP" will show up today.

"You Are Scheduled To Be Sent A Payment...................."

This appeared in my Adsense account today which means that the "payment in progress" pre-process has begun!

It will be interesting to see how this month's "PIP" will happen since February is the shortest month of the year!

I took a look at my past payment history and saw that on the Februarys the adsense payments were issued either on the 24th or the 26th of the month (and yes that is for all the past February months for the past few years) - which means that this will be an interesting time because for this month of February the 24th is on a Thursday and the 26th of this month is on a Saturday.

So it will be interesting to see when this "payment in progress" actually shows up in the google adsense accounts.

So stay tuned........................

Did You Get Your End-Of-The-Year Google Income Statement?

Well I'm happy to say that I got mine earlier on this week.

In case you didn't know, Adsense sends an income form for the previous year and you will need this information in order to include this Adsense income on your tax returns.

If you don't receive it by the end of this month then you should definitely contact Adsense because you will need this information to fill out your tax return.

And just in case you're wondering, it won't do you any good not reporting your adsense income because Adsense has to report it and if you don't report it as well then you might get in trouble with the IRS.

It doesn't matter if your Adsense income is small - if you don't report your income you could get in some serious trouble!

Payment In Progress!

Well it looks as though the US is getting their "payment in progress" lines on their Adsense account - including me!

So if you're waiting for your "payment in progress" line to show up here in the US - then it shouldn't be too long now.....

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance Saturday

Here is an excerpt from the Adsense site:

On 1/15/11, our (Adsense) engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST

This means that while the adsense site will be down you will still be earning your adsense earnings as usual.




(I kind of wonder why the majority of their maintenance schedules are on a Saturday???????)
