Payment In Progress Sighting!

2012-01-25T15:42:00.000-05:00

Oh Joy, there has been a "payment in progress" sighting!

Actually the first posts about the PIP's came in yesterday!

So I expect my "payment in progress" to show up today as well!

My December Adsense Payment Came Before Christmas But I Couldn't Spend Until AFTER Christmas

2012-01-05T11:08:00.000-05:00

Sorry to get back to everyone so late in the game - so much to do and its a New Year to boot!

I was hoping that I would get my Adsense payment before Christmas but I actually got it on the Friday before Christmas. And this is where it gets a little bit more complicated. With Christmas being on a Sunday this year that meant that Christmas Eve was on a Saturday - both of these days not being a bank business day.

To make a long story short I got my "payment in progress" line on Friday, December 23rd but I wasn't actually able to spend the money until Tuesday. I was kind of disappointed that I couldn't spend it sooner but it really was a weird holiday weekend!

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

2011-11-25T20:46:00.001-05:00

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

2011-11-22T15:56:00.000-05:00

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!

2011-10-26T16:11:00.000-04:00

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.....

2011-10-25T17:42:00.000-04:00

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.....

2011-10-22T14:48:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-09-27T18:39:00.001-04:00

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......."

2011-09-21T20:17:00.000-04:00

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.........

2011-09-18T20:24:00.000-04:00

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!"

2011-08-25T23:13:00.001-04:00

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!

2011-08-24T18:42:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-07-26T17:12:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-07-22T01:02:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-06-24T16:57:00.000-04:00

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......"

2011-06-22T15:59:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-05-25T16:38:00.002-04:00

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!

2011-04-27T16:19:00.001-04:00

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!

2011-04-26T15:48:00.000-04:00

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-04-25T18:40:00.001-04:00

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!

2011-04-19T16:26:00.000-04:00

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!

2011-03-25T15:47:00.002-04:00

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

2011-02-25T15:31:00.001-05:00

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!

2011-02-24T14:54:00.000-05:00

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...................."

2011-02-18T15:46:00.000-05:00

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?

2011-02-03T13:37:00.000-05:00

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!

2011-01-25T17:33:00.000-05:00

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

2011-01-13T13:48:00.000-05:00

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???????)

Merry Christmas! I Got My PIP Today!

2010-12-22T15:56:00.000-05:00

I got my "payment in progress" line today!

I was so surprised! I was agonizing over the fact that I might not get my "PIP" until after Christmas! But I checked my adsense account today and there it was!

It's going to be a very

Merry Christmas!

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

2010-12-20T16:28:00.002-05:00

Saw this in my google adsense history folder today when I was checking my Adsense earnings.

This is a very good sign that the "payment in progress" pre-process has begun!

That means that Adsense has said that "I'm scheduled to be sent a payment" - which says to me that the pre-payment process has begun!

Dare I hope that I will be getting my "PIP" before Christmas? I certainly hope so!

It's a very tricky month as far as getting my Adsense payment is concerned! The 25th of the month falls on a Saturday and this 25th of the month just happens to be Christmas Day! A lot of certain businesses will be closed on the Friday before Christmas and this may even include some banks! However if I get my "payment in progress" by Thursday, the 23rd I'm going to do a little thing that Rose told me about so that I might just be able to spend my Adsense money before Christmas!

I can remember for at least the past 2 or three years where adsense has paid us before the Christmas holiday - so hopefully this year it will be the same!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'll let you know if I get my "PIP" before Christmas.............

My PIP Has Arrived!

2010-11-26T15:24:00.000-05:00

Well my "payment in progress" line has been received! Just took a look at it 3pm eastern time and there it was!

Now, unfortunately, this is a Friday so I won't be able to spend any of it until Monday at the earliest!

So now that my PIP has arrived for November 2010, your shouldn't be too far behind - if you haven't gotten it already!

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-11-24T15:35:00.001-05:00

Yes that's right! Someone has posted that they got their "PIP" today!

The person that posted said that they were from the UK and they are receiving their Adsense payment by regular check.

I was debating on whether or not we would be getting our Adsense payments before Thanksgiving but now it doesn't really look like that is going to happen - although I haven't completely given up hope!

Even if we did get a "payment in progress" line that would still mean that the money wouldn't be "spendable" until the next day. However in this case the "next day" happens to be a holiday! But according to Rose though it seems that she has found a way to be able to spend her Adsense money a little bit early so if we did get a "PIP" showing in our account today she said that she would be able to spend it on Thanksgiving.

But it looks as though that is not going to be happening because even though there has been a "PIP" sighting, remember that it is from the UK and ususally in my case once I see that kind of first sighting my "payment in progress" line usually doesn't show up until a day later and, again in this case, that day later is a holiday!

So while I'm keeping my fingers crossed it looks as though I won't be seeing anything until Friday and even if that were to happen I wouldn't be able to spend the money until the Monday which is after the weekend which is like 4 (long) days away!

But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed - the day ain't over yet!

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

2010-11-20T12:53:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I signed off at around 6 pm so I didn't see the above titled message until I signed on today! Does this mean that Adsense added this message on a Saturday? a weekend?

Oh well it doesn't matter (for now). But what does matter is that with the receiving of this message then that means that the "payment in progress" pre-process has begun! Meaning that since I got the message of "you are scheduled....." then that means that at least I am on the schedule to be sent a payment this month?

What are the odds of us getting out Adsense payments before Thanksgiving, since the 25th of the month actually is Thanksgiving day? I took a look at some past "PIP"s and I really don't see a trend of getting the Adsense payment before Thanksgiving - mostly because Thanksgiving doesn't fall on the same week during the past years.

Now I'm really hoping that we do see our "payment in progress" lines before Thanksgiving.......but we shall see!

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance Today!

2010-11-13T12:33:00.000-05:00

According to their website:

On 11/13/10, our engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST.

While this will mean that you will not be able to see your Adsense numbers or be able to access your Adsense account you will still be earning your Adsense money as usual.

Payment In Progress!

2010-10-28T13:08:00.000-04:00

Yep! That's right! I got my "PIP" finally!

Actually to tell you the truth I took a "day off" yesterday and didn't see my "payment in progress" until today! I think that this is a first time in a looong time that I haven't obsessed about getting my "PIP"!

My "payment in progress" line showed up yesterday and the money is now in my bank account today! (I checked!)

So this means that if you are an Adsense publisher and you are scheduled to get a payment then you should be getting yours soon!

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-10-26T15:17:00.000-04:00

There has been a "payment in progress" sighting today!

I was checking one of the adsense-related boards and noted that there were a couple of people who have posted that they have received their "PIP"'s. One of the people that posted was from Europe and another that posted that they got their "payment in progress" line didn't post a location so I'm not sure if anyone else from the United States got their "PIP" yet.

You might have also noticed that the little widget on the side of this blog is showing minus days....I think that I am just going to leave it that way until I actually get my "payment in progress" line. Because the "days left" widget is basically based on the fact that the average "payment in progress" date is usually around the 25th of the month and here we are - the 26th of the month and still nothing is showing - at least for me - yet!

Sorry, but there is no "payment in progress" sightings yet!

2010-10-25T15:57:00.000-04:00

I'm sorry to report that I haven't seen any "PIP" in the adsense-related boards yet!

It has been posted that the average / usual time that we might see a "payment in progress" line would be the 25th of the month - which is today!

But then again on the other hand people have also posted that they will usually see their "PIP" lines on the last Tuesday of the month - which will be tomorrow.

So I'm really guessing that our "payment in progress" lines will show up sometime tomorrow.

When I start to see other adsense publishers posting that they got their "PIP" then I know that mine (and yours) can't be too far behind.

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

2010-10-20T17:49:00.000-04:00

I saw this on my adsense account today.

Of course this means that the payment in progress process has begun!

I don't actually mean that the "PIP" is showing up yet for October 2010! I'm just saying that once I see the above message on my Adsense Account I know that at least they are acknowledging that I am supposed to be getting a payment and that lets me know that the payment in progress process has at least begun.

Since the 25th falls on a Monday, I'm just assuming that I will see a "PIP" either next Monday or Tuesday.

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance

2010-10-15T15:57:00.000-04:00

On Saturday, October 16, 2010 (which is tomorrow!) the adsense site will be down for maintenance. According to their site their engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT.

This is a regular occurrance - especially on a Saturday and according to their site, the adsense people have said that even though their site will be down for maintenance it will NOT affect your Adsense earnings!

For as long as I have been an Adsense publisher they have remained true to their word! - so far!

If you are new to Adsense and you sign on to your account tomorrow and see that you can't get to your adsense account just remember that the site will be down for about 4 hours. I know that can make you crazy but you just have to be patient because the site will be back up eventually!

I Received My PIP Today! Hooray!

2010-09-27T16:22:00.000-04:00

After agonizing over the weekend I finally received my "payment in progress" line for September 2010!

This was a VERY long wait!

Now that I have received my "PIP" for September 2010 I can't wait to start spending that money! I have a quite a few hours before I can actually spend the money and that is going to be an agonizing wait!

No PIP today!!!!!!!!!

2010-09-24T15:48:00.001-04:00

I was sooooo hoping that my "payment in progress" line would show up today but alas it has not! Even though its a Friday if I received my "PIP" I would have been able to spend that money tomorrow! Oh I am sooooo disappointed!

This weekend is going to be agony!

Update!

Well it looks as though I spoke too soon! Someone has posted that they have received their "payment in progress" line today. The person that posted is from the US and they get their adsense payment via check!

So it looks as though the "PIP" process has begun for September 2010!

I did a little research

2010-09-23T16:28:00.000-04:00

Being a little disappointed that my "payment in progress" line didn't show up today I decided to do a little "back" research and try to find a similiar month with the same date layout which was July of 2009. During that month I did not receive my "PIP" line until Friday, July 24th!

Since Adsense is notorious for not paying on the same date each month I can only hope that this time it will be the same and that my "PIP" will show up tomorrow - though I'm still hoping that it will show up today! I seem to remember one time when my "payment in progress" line showed up at around 9pm my time (EST) but it happened so long ago that now I'm not even sure that it really happened????

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

2010-09-23T15:20:00.000-04:00

I was checking my adsense account today and saw this familiar message about "you are scheduled to be sent a payment......". This could have been on my account earlier and I just didn't pay attention to it - to tell you the truth I was really looking for the payment in progress line to appear but so far it hasn't yet! I'm so sad!

Well the general consensus is that the average date of the "PIP" showing up is usually on the 25th of the month but unfortunately the 25th of September falls on a Saturday this month and the "PIP"'s don't (usually) show up on the weekends!

I also checked on one of the Adsense-related boards and no one has posted that they have received their payment in progress lines as of yet.

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance....

2010-09-07T14:46:00.002-04:00

On Saturday, September 11th, the Adsense site will be down for maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT.

I Got My "Payment In Progress" Line Today!

2010-08-25T17:25:00.002-04:00

Oh for joy! I got my "PIP" line on my Adsense account today! That means that I will be able to have some money to spend! I'm jumping with joy and glee!

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-08-24T14:31:00.002-04:00

This is good news!

However it all does seem a bit odd because the people that have been posting that they have gotten their "PIP" are also posting that they get their adsense payments by check!

So far one person from the US has posted receiving their "payment in progress" and their have also been postings from the UK and India - but the majority of them have posted that they get their adsense payments by check.

I have posted many times about how Adsense has said that they don't process the check payments first but it does kind of look that way doesn't it?

I Finally Got My "Payment In Progress" Line!

2010-07-27T15:59:00.002-04:00

It really did show up late this month!

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-07-26T18:04:00.004-04:00

Although I have to say that I'm quite disappointed that the sighting isn't from my own Adsense account!

However someone in the UK posted that they received their "PIP" for this month. They received their "payment in progress" line today and they also posted that they receive their google adsense in regular check form.

Well at least we know that the "PIP" process has started - but it is coming very late this month!

Actually I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that it will show up later today! I remember one time when my "payment in progress" line showed up around 9pm my time and if it happened then then hopefully it will happen now!

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

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

2010-07-23T16:16:00.001-04:00

Actually I'm a little disappointed today! Even though this message showing up on my Adsense means that at least I'll be getting an Adsense payment this month I am disappointed that there is no "Payment In Progress" line showing up yet which means that it looks as though I won't be seeing a "PIP" until at least Monday - bummer!

"Do You Do Adsense Work?"

2010-07-17T12:47:00.002-04:00

I got this in my email today and here is my reply:

Do I do Adsense work? The answer is yes. However it will depend on the type of adsense work you are looking for. Adsense publishers are posting about a decrease in their adsense earnings and a lot of them think that it has to do with the new way that Adsense is basing their ads. The adsense ads are more based on interest than on the content of one's adsense site.

So let me know what kind of adsense work you are talking about?

Adsense has changed a lot. I have been taking a survey of some my sites with adsense ads on them and I have noticed that the ads are based on the site that I came from and not necessarily on the content of the site that I am visiting.

That really changes things as far as adsense earnings go and a lot of adsense publishers are posting that their adsense numbers are way down.

Of course this doesn't seem to apply to all of the adsense publishers because some have posted that their adsense earning numbers are the same or have even increased!

Well It Looks Like We Have A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-06-23T17:30:00.002-04:00

So I'm browsing the boards and forums just to see if there is any news about "PIP" sightings and lo and behold I see that some one has posted that they have received their "payment in progress" already!

It seems that those outside of the United States have posted that they have received their payment in progress lines on their adsense accounts for June 2010.

So far only a few of them have posted but at least this shows that the payment in progress process has begun.

My PIP Has Arrived!

2010-05-25T14:11:00.002-04:00

Before checking my Adsense account I went to look at some of the Adsense-related boards and found that there were more postings about "payment in progress". This is always a good sign because the more that people post from the US that they have received their "PIP", the more likely that my "payment in progress" line is not too far behind!

So I noticed that there were a few more postings about the "PIP" and then I read them and noticed that a few people from the US had posted, I kept my fingers crossed, went to my Adsense account and lo and behold I saw it!

Payment In Progress!

Hopefully if you are also an Adsense publisher you will be getting your PIP soon - as well!

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-05-24T15:43:00.002-04:00

I was looking at one of the Adsense-related boards and found that someone had posted that they got their "payment in progress" line today.

The person posted that they are from the UK and they get their adsense payment by check.

There have been rumors going around that Adsense pays those who get their adsense payments by check - Adsense pays them first - But Adsense themself has said that this is not true.

So at least someone has posted that they have gotten their "PIP" for this month - May 2010.

So at least that means that us that live in the States and get our Adsense payments by bank transfer - hopefully that means that our Adsense payments are not too far behind!

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

2010-05-20T14:45:00.003-04:00

Well this little message showed up in my Adsense account today and it means that I will be getting an Adsense payment this month. I should really, really be grateful for this because so many publishers are experiencing such a low click-through rate lately!

So now that I know that I am scheduled to be sent a payment - all that is left to do is to wait for the payment - LOL!

Adsense payments usually are received by the 25th of the month which is Tuesday of next week!

So I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Low Click Through Rates Being Attributed To Interest-Based Ads!

2010-05-06T13:37:00.000-04:00

I don't seem to be the only Adsense Publisher that is experiencing a low click-through-rate with their Google Adsense sites! I have been browsing some adsense-related boards and there have been many people posting about experiencing the same thing as well.

The low CTR seems to be attributed to Adsense providing interest-based ads. What this means is that - for example - if someone has just visited a site about flowers and then visits your site which is about cars, then the ads that they see will be about flowers and NOT what your site is about which is cars. In other words the google adsense ads that will be appearing on your car-related site will be more about flowers than about cars! Of course this will seriously decrease the number of potential clicks that your site may get.

You would think that interest-based ads would provide more in potential clicks because the ads are being based on the interest of the site visitor but it doesn't seem to be working out that way - at least not for the Adsense publishers who's postings I have seen - including mine!

There also doesn't seem to be a way to opt out of interest-based ads for the ads that are appearing on one's site.

There has also been talk of "ad blindness" meaning that visitors to Google Adsense ad sites are becoming more and more "blind" to the adsense ads that are appearing - meaning that they are not clicking on the ads.

I'm sure that there has got to be some kind of solution to this! I just haven't found out what it is yet - LOL!

Saturday, May 8, 2010 - The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance

2010-05-06T11:13:00.002-04:00

Upon checking my adsense numbers today I saw that there was a message that the adsense site will be down for maintenance this upcoming Saturday, May 8, 2010. Here is the message as it appears:

"On 5/8/10, our engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT."

Since I am on the East Coast that means (and I'm estimating here) that from 1pm - 5pm (my time) the Adsense site will be down.

Adsense assures its publishers that the site being down for maintenance will not affect their (our) adsense earnings and so far they have been right because I have not seen anything adverse happen as far as my adsense earnings go when the adsense site is down for maintenance.

So if you're adsense-addicted like me you're just going to have to find a way to get through those hours. I find that as the months go by I am getting better at this!

My Payment In Progress Has Been Received!

2010-04-26T17:04:00.004-04:00

My "payment in progress" line has been received today!

That is good news because the wait over the weekend was agonizing!

It has been rumored that Adsense very rarely posts the "PIP" line on Mondays but I'm glad that it has been posted for today!

So I now have the "payment in progress" line on my Adsense account and hopefully I will be able to spend some of that Adsense $$$$$$ tomorrow! - Yay!

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!

2010-04-23T15:14:00.002-04:00

Someone has posted that they have received their "PIP"! The person that posted is from the UK and they receive their Adsense payments by check!

Usually I don't see my "payment in progress" line until other people from the States start posting that they have already received theirs.

But this does give the rest of us hope that our "PIP's" will be showing up soon!

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

2010-04-22T11:27:00.003-04:00

This finally appeared on my Adsense account today!

I was getting kind of worried because today is the 22nd of the month and I know that the later I get the "You are scheduled to be sent a payment....." line, the later I will get my "payment in progress" line.

Since I'm just seeing this message today, I'm assuming that I won't be seeing a PIP line until AFTER the weekend - I'm sad to say!

But at least I know now that the "payment in progress" process has begun!

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

2010-04-20T14:12:00.002-04:00

Well I was checking my adsense numbers for today and I noticed that I didn't see the "you are scheduled to be sent a payment" line yet today! This kind of makes me worried and sad because the later I see the above line on my adsense account then that means the later I will see the "payment in progress line.

I was wondering what the "odds" would be of actually getting the "PIP" line before the start of the weekend - but now it's not looking all that good!

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance On Satuday April 10th, 2010!

2010-04-08T14:01:00.002-04:00

Here is a quote from the Adsense site:

On 4/10/10, our engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT

While this means that you won't be able to view your adsense earnings during the maintenance times, Adsense assures us that your Adsense earnings will be calculated as normal.

My Adsense Payment Has Arrived!

2010-03-26T15:24:00.002-04:00

Well I'm happy to say that my "payment in progress" line was received! Actually I got the "PIP" line yesterday afternoon but the money became spendable today!

So now we can begin the waiting process (yet again) for April 2010!

Looks Like The Adsense "Payment In Progress" Is Going To Be Taking A While!

2010-03-25T13:44:00.003-04:00

I have been browsing the Adsense-related sites now and I still haven't yet seen any postings relating to anyone getting a "PIP" in their Adsense accounts yet!

There was one post from someone who was also checking around to see if anyone else received their "payment in progress" line on their Adsense account - but so far no one has reported seeing it yet.

I'm remaining hopeful though because the day is not over yet and the Adsense "clocks" are three hours behind my own local time so it's still possible that my "PIP" line will show up for this month - March 2010!

My PIP Has Arrived!

2010-02-24T17:55:00.004-05:00

I got my "payment in progress" line today! Time for me to do a "happy" dance!

It looks as though us Adsense publishers here on the East Coast who get our Adsense payment by EFT may be able to get and spend our Adsense money as soon as tommorrow BUT here on the East Coast we are expecting yet another snowstorm! The last time I checked the news said that we wouldn't be getting snow until Thursday going into Friday but now the weather forecast says that snow is expected later on tonight! Yikes! One of the great things about being able to work from home is that I don't have to go outside unless I want to! But when I get my Adsense payment out in the snow I will go!

There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting For February 2010!

2010-02-23T19:08:00.004-05:00

there has been a "payment in progress" sighting for this month! Someone has posted that they got their "PIP" line today, February 23rd. However this person posted that they are from the UK and they get their google Adsense payment by check. But at least this shows that the other "payment in progress" lines will be showing up for the rest of us Adsense publishers!

There is also a little debate going on about how February is of course the shortest month and whether or not we will get our Adsense payments BEFRE the end of this month!

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

2010-02-19T18:30:00.002-05:00

Yes this message appeared on my Adsense account screen today when I was checking my Adsense numbers for today! Getting this message means that the payment in progress process has started - even though we Adsense publishers haven't seen the "payment in progress" line appear yet in our adsense accounts. I think its a tad early for that - LOL! - no matter how badly we want it!

Also remember too that the Adsense site will be down for maintenance for 4 hours on Saturday, February 20, 2010 - this is probably going to mean that 4 at least 4 hours from the late morning until the late afternoon that your adsense site will be down. The exact time will depend on where you are located.

You will still continue to earn your adsense money and your adsense earnings will still be calculated and added to your account while the maintenance is going on.

If you are an Adsense junkie like me then you will just have to grin and bear it and get through those several hours.................

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance Today!

2010-02-18T18:15:00.003-05:00

As you can see from the screenshot above the Adsense site will be down for maintenance this upcoming Saturday for about a good 4 hours!

You will not be able to check your Google Adsense numbers during this time but Adsense assures its publishers that their adsense earnings will be calculated as normal.

As a side note you can see from my Google Adsense earnings today that I'm quite past the minimum amount needed to get an Adsense payment next month so I will be getting an Adsense payment next month! Now I'm just waiting for my Google Adsense payment this month -LOL!

The Payment In Progress Process Has Begun!

2010-01-26T18:24:00.006-05:00

It seems as though my "gut" feeling was right! People are reporting that they have been getting their "payment in progress" line today. Google Adsense publishers are reporting that they now see the "PIP" line on their Adsense accounts.

So that means that my "payment in progress" line for January 2010 can't be too far behind!

Just In Case You're Wondering........

2010-01-25T18:39:00.003-05:00

I checked around the boards and message forums and no as of yet has posted or reported that they have gotten their "payment in progress" line on their Google Adsense account yet!

This is very sad news since this is the 25th of the month but the last Tuesday of the month - which is the date that most people say is the "PIP" date - is tomorrow!

My gut just tells me that the "payment in progress" line is going to show up tomorrow

until then we just have to wait...................

What Happens When You Use High-Paying Keywords?

2010-01-22T19:40:00.003-05:00

you get high ecpm numbers like the ones shown below:

the more higher your ecpm numbers the more money you will earn per click!

How Old Do You Have To Be In Order To Join The Adsense Program?

2010-01-17T22:36:00.005-05:00

I answered this question on Yahoo and I thought that I would post it here in case anyone else would like to know the answer to this. I can't take credit for it though because I got the answer from another website.

Does AdSense have a minimum age requirement for participation?
As stated in the AdSense Terms and Conditions, publishers must be at least 18 years of age to participate in the AdSense program.
If you are not yet 18, you may have a parent or guardian submit an application using their name as the payee name. Please note that, should the application be approved, all payments will be made to the adult responsible for the site.

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance Today!

2010-01-08T23:38:00.006-05:00

As you can see from the screenshot above, the Adsense site will be down for maintenance tomorrow for several hours!

Adsense assures its publishers that their Google Adsense earnings will be calculated as normal.

Click Through Rates & ECPM's

2010-01-05T14:01:00.000-05:00

Here is a quick look at my Adsense numbers for today!

It is my intended goal to have at least a 10% click-through-rate.....

As you can see from the screenshot above my ctr rate is better than I expected!

As an average number I have seen postings from others saying that a 2% click-through-rate is what one should expect to get on the average.

Of course having a high ctr means that visitors to my site are clicking on the ads which means that either the ads are relative to the content on my sites and / or the ads that are appearing on my sites are appealing enough to get visitors to click on them. I also did some research on my sites to find what keywords that were related to my site were getting as far as web traffic was concerned. I made a customized list Of popular keyword & search terms for my own sites and you are seeing the results from the screen shot above. Basically what this involves is finding the most popular keyword search terms that people are typing into the search engines and putting those keywords in my site(s). I also do this kind of work for my clients as well but I also have done this for myself.

If you are having a low ctr rate with your blog it means that the visitors to your site are not clicking on the adsense ads that are appearing on your site. There could be a number of reasons for this. The google adsense ads that are appearing on your site may not be related to the content on your site and that is one reason that visitors to your site are not clicking on the ads. To solve this problem you have to use more popular keyword search terms that are related to the content of your site(s) and then watch as your click-thru rate(s) increase.

Another thing that you should take a look at are your ecpm rates as well. The ecpm rates mean the average cost per thousand clicks. It's a very complicated thing but to make it more simple, the higher your ecpm rates are that means the higher you earnings per click! As you can see from the screen shot above my ecpm rates are at least $50 or better!

So how do you get higher ecpm rates? The answer is that you have to put more high-paying keyword content into your site(s) so that you will earn more per click when visitors to your site(s) click on your Google Adsense Ads.

I have been using my own high-paying keyword list to put more higher-paying keyword content into my sites and you can see the results that I have gotten by looking at the screen shot above.

So if you want to earn more Google Adsense earnings per click then you will have to put more higher-paying keyword content into your site(s) so that you will be earning more per click.

Payment In Progress! December 2009!

2009-12-23T15:18:00.002-05:00

Well as you can see I got my "PIP" (payment in progress) line today! That means that I will have some Google Adsense money to spend BEFORE Christmas!

There was a speculation about whether or not us Google Adsense publishers would be receiving our Google Adsense earnings before Christmas day. But it has been brought to my attention that those that get their Google Adsense earnings by regular check won't actually be getting their Google Adsense money until after Christmas.

Well, There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting!

2009-12-22T17:54:00.003-05:00

I checked the related adsense boards to see if anyone posted about getting their "PIP" line and indeed someone posted that they got theirs! Someone who posted that they were from Michigan posted that they got their Adsense "payment in progress" line posted today on their adsense account.

Now I went and checked my own google adsense account and there was no "PIP" line there - yet! But once someone starts posting that they got their "payment in progress" line I know that (hopefully) my own adsense payment shouldn't be too far behind!

Hopefully I'll get it BEFORE Christmas so that I can spend it BEFORE Christmas.

Also a popular rumor going around is that Adsense processes those who get their adsense payment by check first but Adsense themself has said that this is not true. But Adsense doesn't say how they actually process the adsense payments and Adsense also doesn't say in what order they process payments. So in the meantime that just leaves the rest of us with going through the guessing game!

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

2009-12-19T17:27:00.004-05:00

Google Adsense

"You are scheduled to be sent a payment"........

I didn't think to look at this for a few days because I was busy working on getting my Google Adsense earning numbers up. But for some reason I decided to check my payment history - probably in the hopes that the "payment in progress" line would be showing in my Google Adsense account (which it didn't

But I did see the message below:

This means that the Google Adsense payment process has begun! This doesn't mean that the "payment in progress" line is showing yet. It just means that for those that have Google Adsense on their sites that the process for processing the payments has begun.

I'm encouraged by the fact that this message is showing on the 19th of the month because in previous months when this message was shown at around the same time it meant that we got our Google Adsense payments earlier than usual.

Add to that the fact that there is the hope that we will get our Google Adsense payments BEFORE Christmas that just makes the whole topic of when we will get our Google Adsense payments more popular at the moment.

I'll keep my eyes out for that first "PIP" posting!

Working To Bring Those Adsense Earnings Up!

2009-12-15T14:11:00.000-05:00

If your Google Adsense earnings are down and you want to work to make your Google Adsense earnings go up then you have to identify your Adsense "problem areas!

Take a look at the screenshot below:

These are my Adsense numbers for today - so far!

Take a look at my adsense click-thru-rate. As an adsense publisher my goal for Adsense click thru rate is to have at least a 10% ctr on my adsense earnings. Now there have been times when my adsense click through rate has been higher and there have been times when my adsense click-thru-rate has been lower. But as you can see from the screenshot I am pretty much within my Adsense click thru rate goals.

How do you get a high adsense click thru rate? To get a high click through means that a good portion of the people that visit your adsense site are clicking on your adsense ads. That may be because the adsense ads that are appearing on your site are relative to the content on your site OR the adsense ads on your site are NOT relative to the content on your site BUT the adsense ads that are appearing on your site are interesting enough that they are being clicked on anyway.

Now take a look at the ecpm which means the estimate cost per click. That number means that the average price of the clicks are getting are in that number range. So this is another good example of how adsense publishers can incorporate higher-paying keywords into the content of their site so that they can earn more money per Adsense ad that gets clicked on their site.

If your Adsense earnings are down don't whine or complain about it.

Do something about it!

Are Your Adsense Earnings Down?

2009-12-14T13:29:00.000-05:00

The Adsense Consultant

Are your Google Adsense earnings down? Then don't worry because you are not alone! I have seen many board postings from Adsense publishers who have posted about how their adsense earnings have gone way down! Even my own adsense earnings have decreased!

But instead of whine and complain though I decided to do something about it!

There are 2 ways to increase your Adsense earnings:

The first way is to increase the traffic to your Adsense site. Get those traffic numbers up! Install one of the free stat tracking widgets so that you can see where your traffic is coming from! I have them on my own sites and I recommend them to my clients as well. These traffic widgets will show you where your traffic is coming from. For example with my own tracking stats I can tell that about half of my traffic comes from the search engines and the other half comes from traffic that came to my sites from places that I have posted to.
The 2nd way to increase your Google Adsense earnings is to incorporate more higher-paying keyword content into your site. There are a few high-paying keywords that pay as much as $100 per click! I have a high-paying keyword list of my own and it is this exact same list that I am using now to incorporate more high-paying keyword content into my (and my clients') sites.

You can either use these high-paying keywords as the basis of your site or you could take the higher-paying keywords and incorporate into a site that you have already made.

I also provide a service where I take a client's site and find the most popular search terms that are related to the client's site. With this list of the most popular search terms I incorporate these popular search terms into the client's site (or I provide them with the list of popular search terms and they incorporate those popular search terms into their own sites themselves). I am also doing this for my own sites as well.

You would probably be surprised and amazed at the number of people who are searching for the most simplest of terms and phrases. For example did you know that over 2 Million people typed in the word "adsense" in a search engine last month? That is a lot of people! Now since my blog is about being an Adsense Consultant I want to get as much of that traffic coming to this blog as possible! In fact I have noted here and on my The SEO Consultant Blog about how important it is to rank high in the search engines if you want more traffic to come to your site or blog. More traffic to your site (that has Adsense on it) means the more potential clicks you will get on your Adsense ads!

Another search term that has had over 1 Million searches is the term "making money online". It seems that a lot of people are interested in being able to make money online. Now remember that these are search terms that are associated with my blog and since Adsense is one of the great ways to earn money online visitors may come to my site seeking more information about how to make money online since I mention how the Google Adsense program is a great way to be able to make money online.

So if your Adsense earnings are down Do something about it!

Is It Possible To Get A High Click Through Rate With Adsense?

2009-12-12T04:54:00.004-05:00

Is it possible to get a high click through rate with an Adsense Ad? Just take a look at the screen shot below!

Here you see a click through rate of over 90% from one of my client's blogs!

So YES it is possible to get a high click through rate!

How Is My High-Paying Keyword List Working?

2009-12-10T17:45:00.000-05:00

I posted this on my original Adsense Consultant blog:

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.

But after posting this on my blog I noticed that I also got a screenshot of my Adsense earnings for earlier this afternoon so I decided to include it on this blog as well.

Mind you this is how much I have earned so far today!

I have been browsing some of the adsense-related message forums and have taken notice about how a lot of people have been posting about how bad their adsense earnings are getting. Some of the adsense publishers are experiencing very low adsense earnings so far this month (and some adsense publishers have even said that their adsense earning numbers were lower even before this month of December 2009!)

Going from my past blog posts I can honestly say that my adsense earning revenue has increase and I'm accounting that to the fact that I am using more higher-paying keyword content on my sites. Another thing that I'm doing is that I have made a list of the most used traffic search terms for my particular sites and I am also using those search terms in my sites so that will help increase the traffic to my sites.

Increased traffic to one's adsense site means more potential clicks on the Adsense ads which means more potential Adsense earnings!

I understand getting frustrated and / or angry about one's Adsense earnings being so low but if you want your Adsense earnings to increase you're going to have to do something about it - which is what I am doing for myself and for my clients as well!

High Paying Keywords - Do They Work? ABSOLUTELY!

2009-12-08T23:48:00.003-05:00

High paying keywords - Do they really work? I'll let you judge for yourself!

Below you will see the results that I have gotten so far today:

As you can see from the screenshot above, I actually earned $3 for one click! (Actually it was over $3! for just one click!

I have been blogging lately about using more higher paying keywords into the content of my sites and it looks like it is working very well! $3 (over $3) for one click is a very, very good sign of a high paying keyword!

There is a second line where I earned over $1 for a single click on one of my Adsense ads too!

Higher paying keywords earn you more money per click!

I have been using some of the high paying keywords that I have on my own High Paying Keyword List and it looks as though it is working out very well!

Will We Get An Adsense Payment Before Christmas?

2009-12-06T01:23:00.003-05:00

There's a very popular topic of discussion going on on one of the Google Adsense message boards. Someone asked the question of whether or not the Google Adsense publishers would be receiving their Google Adsense payments BEFORE Christmas. (The person that posted this message was anxious to start spending his Google Adsense money for Christmas)

Well the answer to that question is really hard to say! From my personal experience at being one of the Google Adsense publshers, I have received my Google Adsense payments before Christmas Day for the past 3 years! However it's been on different days and I really think that it depends on what the format of the month is. For instance I have received my Google Adsense payment as early as the 21st of December and as late as the 24th of December! It's really going to depend on the format of this December month.

Here are my own personal Google Adsense payment history statistics:

December 2006 my Google Adsense payment was issued on the 21st - which was quite early now that I think about it!

December 2007 my Google Adsense payment was issued on the 24th - one day BEFORE Christmas!

December 2008 my Google Adsense payment was issued on the 22nd of the month.

The format of December 2009 roughly is similar to December 2008 when I got my Google Adsense payment on the 22nd of the month. Notice that I say similar and not exact! Since the formats are not exact that could mean that the Google Adsense payment could come earlier or it could come later! And since the Adsense payment in progress process is so unpredictable this could also mean that we might get our Google Adsense payment AFTER Christmas - so it is really just too hard to say! - Sorry!

My Sites Are Ranked #1 AND #2!

2009-11-27T10:24:00.001-05:00

Right on the heels of me finding out that my using using my higher-paying keywords list more often on my sites has resulted in getting a higher ecpm number, I know found out that both of my Adsense Consulting blogs are ranked #1 AND #2 respectively!

Woo Hoo!

Getting both the top rankings out of over a million sites was no easy feat!

As a search engine optimization consultant (SEO for short) it is very important that I practice what I preach. Getting a high search engine ranking is not easy for most people. There have been some who have managed to get very high search engine rankings with little or no effort but the majority of us have to work at it!

Below are my current search engine results for Monday, November 30, 2009:

You can also check my search engine rankings periodically by clicking here.

As a SEO Consultant, I have to tell you that maintaing a high ranking in the search engines is also a very hard thing to do! You have to remember that there are constantly new sites coming online everyday and they will also be fighting to get into the search engines and that will mean even more competition for your own website or blog as far as getting high search engine rankings go!

Of course the higher your site ranks in the search engines the more likely you'll get more visitors to your site and if you have Adsense on your site then that means the more likely clicks you will get and the more money you will earn with the Adsense program!

There is so much competition to get high search engine rankings. Not only do businesses want them so do individuals who have their own websites or blogs! Of course you want your site(s) to be popular. The more visitors you get to your site the higher your traffic numbers and you could charge even more money to direct advertisers to advertise on your site(s). Of course there are some people that just want to have more visitors to their site and aren't really concerned with the monetary aspect of it. And there is nothing wrong with that either.

Of course this need for high search engine rankings has produced a few "bad apples" as well! There are ways that one can get high search engine rankings that are really not legitimate (they work but they aren't legitimate) and you risk the possibility of your site being banned by some of the search engines. But some of these tactics do work which really makes it harder for those with legitimate sites to get high search engine rankings. I have seen many postings online from people who have legitimate sites but they complain that their sites have a low ranking in the search engines and those sites that rank higher than theirs really have nothing to do with the search terms being used but yet and still they still rank more higher than the more legitimate sites.

So far in my opinion the only way is to "fight fire with fire here! Unfortunately that means that you're going to have to work at it.

If you want your site to get higher search engine rankings you are going to have to follow the advice that I give in my SEO Consultant blog and that is to do a search using the keywords that you want your site to be associated with. Look at the results of your search engine rankings. If you don't like where your site is ranking then you should take a look at those sites that are appearing higher in the rankings than your own site is. They are your competition for higher rankings. And if you want your site to be ranked higher than theirs then you are going to have to "OUT RANK them! Mostly this will involve working with the content that is already on your site but it also means that you will have to use other (legitimate) tactics as well!

Some Of My Results Using My High-Paying Keywords List!

2009-11-25T15:47:00.001-05:00

The above picture shows the results that I have been getting using my high-paying keyword list! As you can see the results are pretty good! The majority of my ecpm numbers are $100 or above!

This means that the higher my cpm is the more money that I will earn per click!

Some of the more higher-paying keywords that I have been using can be incorporated into one's site if they know how to do it right! You can make a blog post and use high-paying keywords while still staying within the topic matter of your website or blog.

Of course another idea is that you could create a blog or website using one (or more) of the higher-paying keywords to earn even more money with the Adsense program. There have been a lot of people using this method to earn more money with the Adsense program.

As a side note I also noticed that my click-thru rate is getting much better! There is even one site of mine that got a click-thru rate of over 90%! I have had click-thru rates of 100% and even over 100%! This doesn't happen all the time but and I really think that it has to do with the subject matter of the site. The more interested that people are in the content of your website or blog the more likely they are to click on the ads that appear on your website or blog!

That's probably why the higher-paying keywords pay so much to advertise!

My PIP Has Arrived!

2009-11-24T14:18:00.002-05:00

Time to do a happy dance!

So my "payment in progress" has arrived for the month of November 2009!

There's a rumor going around that Adsense wanted to get the "PIP" 's into peoples' accounts so that they could have money to spend by Black Friday!

There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting!

2009-11-21T20:17:00.000-05:00

I can't believe it!

There has been a "payment in progress" posting by actually 2 people who have posted that they had gotten their "PIP" line yesterday - Friday! I was really shocked to see this because the "payment in progress" lines usually don't show this early in the month. However this does look to be one of those "short" months with the week of the month having only 2 days!

So one person that posted didn't post their location so I don't know if they live inside or outside the United States.

The other person that posted lives in the US Midwest - however I don't know if they get their Adsense payment by check or by bank transfer.

So be on the lookout on Monday to see if your "payment in progress" line is showing in your Adsense account!

The Payment In Progress Process Has Begun!

2009-11-20T20:01:00.002-05:00

How do I know this? Because when I checked into my Adsense account today that familiar message box was showing:

This means that at least the "payment in progress" (PIP) process has begun for this month of November 2009.

Now I did some comparisons with months that had a similar date format to this month and it seems that the "PIP" showed up a lttle bit more early than the 25th of the month. Unfortunately though just because it has done that in the past doesn't mean that it will automatically happen again this month - so I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

A Pleasant (And Profitable) Surprise!

2009-11-11T19:48:00.003-05:00

I have been doing some experimenting with my high-paying keywords list and went to check my Adsense numbers today and got a very pleasant surprise!

Usually at around this time of the month I am trying to get at least to the half-way point - meaning earning at least $50 - so that I still have the rest of the month to earn the minimum $100 needed in order to get an Adsense payment the next month!

Well like I said I am doing some experimenting with my own high-paying keyword list just to keep myself updated on what the highest-paying keywords are. I have used some of these high-paying keywords on both my and my clients' blogs just to see if it was possible to earn even more than the average for this time of the month!

I checked my own numbers and I am definitely past the half way mark! In fact I have earned over the minimum amount needed to get an Adsense payment for next month - and I still have the rest of the month to go!

Well you know what this means don't you? I'm off to put more higher-paying keywords in my blog posts! Maybe I could even double my current earnings before the month is out and use that money for more Christmas presents!

Well The "Payment In Progress" Process Has Begun!

2009-10-27T19:49:00.002-04:00

Well it looks as though the "PIP" (payment in progress) process has finally begun!

A lot of us Adsense publishers were getting worried because its so late in the month! An actual thread was started because the Adsense "payment in progress" line wasn't showing up. But now I'm happy to say that it has shown up now!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

2009-10-21T20:32:00.002-04:00

Well tonight is just getting better and better!

As you can see, I made it slightly past the half-way mark. That means that I will be getting an Adsense payment next month.

You can probably also see that my numbers are quite low - although I am proud of the cpm earnings that I am getting! There have even been a few times when I have gotten $1 per click! I have been working on using some of the more higher-paying keywords that are in my higher-paying keywords listing and it looks like that is paying off!

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

2009-10-21T20:06:00.004-04:00

Well I saw this message on my Adsense account page today and that means that the payment process has begun!

According to past months with the same kind of date format it looks as though I won't be seeing a "payment in progress" until Monday which will be the 26th of the month.

Now this doesn't have to be written in stone (actually I'm hoping that I will get my "PIP" much, much earlier than that!

(Remember the average estimated date that the "payment in progress" line shows up is on the 25th of the month and unfortunately the 25th of October 2009 falls on a Sunday!)

I'm A Little Past The Halfway Mark For This Month - So Far!

2009-10-12T19:34:00.005-04:00

Well as you can see I have made it slightly past the $50 halfway mark. This means that I still have the rest of the month of October to earn at least $50 more in order t meet the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment for next month!

So far I have managed to get an Adsense check every month this year (as you can probably tell from my previous blog posts )

It's really ironic because I was looking at my Adsense numbers over the weekend and was feeling kind of low. But for some unknown reason my Adsense earnings took quite a jump from the weekend!

I have to say that my click-thru-rate is kind of disappointing (but it will just be that much more fun to increase that again) but my ecpm numbers look good though!

Adsense Will Be Down For Maintenance This Saturday!

2009-10-08T22:22:00.002-04:00

Again, the Adsense site will be down for maintenance this Saturday.

Here is what is on the Adsense site page:

On 10/10/09, our engineers will be performing site maintenance from approximately 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT.

Payment In Progress! September 2009!

2009-09-24T18:12:00.002-04:00

As you can see, I got my "PIP" line!

This means that the "payment in progress" process has begun for September 2009!

Usually I report about seeing a "PIP" sighting BUT I saw the "payment in progress" line in my own Adsense account before I started looking for "payment in progress" sightings.

If you read my previous blog post you will see that I made an estimate (based on a past month with the same date format) that the "PIP" line would show up on the 23rd - which was yesterday. I'm looking at that past month and it seems that there is one more day in that month. Could that be why the "payment in progress" line appeared a day later than I calculated?

As you can see I'm still trying to figure out the "payment in progress" process - but so far I haven't figured it out yet.

"Payment In Progress" - Just In Case You Are Wondering........

2009-09-23T19:44:00.003-04:00

There haven't been any "PIP" sightings yet for this month of September 2009!

It still may be a little early in the "payment in progress" game because today is the 23rd! According to my obsessive calculations of a past month that has the same date format as September 2009 there was a "PIP" on the 23rd of the month.

This is the 23rd of the month so that just means that you can't really rely on past months that have the same kind of date format.

There hasn't been anyone reporting any signs of a "payment in progress" note on their Adsense account as of yet............

But I will keep my eyes open for that first sighting!

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

2009-09-22T19:09:00.003-04:00

Well this finally turned up in my Adsense account today! What this means is that the payment process has begun - although technically I thought it would begin on the 16th of the month which is the day AFTER all holds have to be checked / verified.

I am a little concerned because this message is appearing quite later than usual - I seem to remember on average it showing up on the 19th - average-wise.

However to make this even more complicated, I did some checking and I looked for a similar month in the past that has the same date format as this month - September 2009.

I found a similar month and noted that the "payment in progress" line appeared on the 23rd of the month which is tomorrow!

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

2009-09-21T21:07:00.003-04:00

Well as you can see I just barely made it past the $100 mark for this month. That means that I will be getting an Adsense payment next month (I'm still waiting for my Adsense payment for this month! - LOL!

For any of you that are making less than this per month I hope that this information helps you! There are people who are making a lot with Adsense and then again there are those who have voted in the poll saying that they have made less than $10 a month with Adsense. For you - I say that those numbers can be improved! You just have to learn how to optimize your site more to get more of an Adsense income!

I Made It Past The Halfway Mark!

2009-09-11T19:48:00.002-04:00

Well as you can see, I made it past the halfway mark! What this means is that I have earned at least half of the amount that is required to get an Adsense payment for next month. Just in case you didn't know you have to earn at least $100 during the month before Adsense will send you a payment.

This means that I still have the rest of the month to go to earn at least $50 more!

As you can see from the screenshot my Adsense numbers are going up and down all over the place which means its hard to say what is "average".

So look at my numbers and compare them to your own whether your numbers are higher or lower.

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance Today!

2009-09-10T20:46:00.002-04:00

This upcoming Saturday, the Adsense site will be down for maintenance from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM PDT.

So for about 4 hours on Saturday the adsense site will be down.

During these maintenance schedules Adsense assures its publishers that while they are still earning their adsense money, they will not be able to check their adsense account(s) while the Adsense site is down.
