There Have Been Payment In Progress Sightings!!!!

Well, oh Happy Day!

There have been payment in progress posts from all over the globe!



The first posting was someone from the UK who gets their Adsense payments by check but there have been subsequent postings from those in the United States who have received their PIP's as well! Those are the ones that I look for specifically because when I see those postings from those who are in the United States then I know that my "payment in progress" will not be too far behind!

So be on the lookout because your "PIP" may be showing soon, if not today..................

"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!

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

Another 15 Days! - At Best!

Because the adsense payments were so late last month, I decided to do some calculations about this month! It doesn't look too promising though!

According to my calculations we won't be seeing an Adsense payment for the month of May 2009 until the 26th at best!

It has been said that Adsense usually pays on the last Tuesday of each month and even though there have been times when the "payment in progress" line has shown up before the last Tuesday of the month I think that is safe to assume that this won't necessarily happen all of the time!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Adsense payments will come a bit sooner! (Hopefully to make up for getting such a late payment last month!)

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

I don't like the signs here!

Usually I should be seeing the "You are scheduled to be sent a payment......." line by now on my adsense account and I am not seeing it yet!

It could be that I'm just a tad over anxious though. I looked for similar posts that I have made concerning this issue and have seen that there had been a previous month when I received the message on the 21st of the month and didn't get my "payment in progress" message until the 26th of the month!

Someone has also sent me the comment that they received their "PIP" as early as last week! which I find very hard to believe - but hey anything is possible - right?

There's Been A Payment In Progress Posting!

Personally I was quite surprised!

Someone in the UK has already posted that they have received the "PIP" line on their adsense account!

Of course it is also mentioned that this person is receiving their adsense payment by regular check.

It takes a lot longer to actually get your adsense payment if you are getting it by check as opposed to if you were getting it via bank transfer.

Last year at this time there was a big discussion going on about how Adsense had to get the payments out before the end of the year for tax reasons AND so that the people that worked at Adsense could take off for the holiday season. Mind you this was rumor and speculation!

Another factor to consider is that with the overseas publishers it takes them a lot longer to receive their adsense payment(s) and it is assumed that they will be receiving their "payment in progress" lines first. But again this is only speculation because the first reported "PIP" sighting has been from the UK (in check form)!

Bummer that the weekend is coming up (as far as the payment process goes). We should be hearing more about any further "payment in progress" sightings for this month - December 2008.



12/20/08 Latest Update(s)

Well it seems that someone in India has posted that they have gotten their "PIP" line!

So far it seems that those who are getting their adsense payments by regular check are seeing their "payment in progress" lines first!

What Was My Earliest Adsense Payment Date?

I was just checking my adsense payment information to compare months regarding when I got my adsense payment. It turns out that I was right all along when I mentioned about my getting my adsense payment before Christmas! However this was back in 2006 when for the month of November 2006, I got my adsense payment on December 20th! This was definitely enough time for me to do some Christmas shopping!

For November 2007, I got my adsense payment on December 24th BUT since the next day was Christmas, I didn't actually get the payment until the next business day!

Will we get our adsense payments before December 25th of this year?

Honestly speaking - who knows!

Payment In Progress - Payment Received!

Well I have been offline for a few days and just recently checked to see when my "PIP" line showed up on my adsense account. The "payment in progress" line showed up on my account on May 23rd which was last Friday. However since Monday was Memorial Day then that meant that I didn't actually receive the payment until today.

It was a looooong weekend!

Payment In Progress - April 2008!

I wanted to be the first one to post that I received the "PIP" line in my adsense account but alas I was the 2nd! Someone in NY posted that they got their "payment in progress" line about 20 minutes before me!

I'm especially grateful about this because if that "PIP" line showed tomorrow - which is Friday - then I would have had to wait until Monday at the earliest to be able to spend any of that Adsense money!

Anyone Care To Make A Speculation About The Next Payment In Progress?

Obsessive compulsive that I am (plus the fact that I just love to get paid!) I decided to take a look at last year's calendar to find a month that had the same day format as this month (April 2008). Of course the reason I am doing this is because I want to compare "payment in progress" dates just to speculate on when the adsense payment will come this month!

May 2007 has the same day-format as April 2008.

In May 2007, my adsense payment was recorded on May 23rd! This also means that the "PIP" line showed up the day before - which - of course - was a Tuesday.

Dare I say that we may get the much anticipated "payment in progress" line next week?

There Has Been Another PIP Sighting!

Why The Big Fuss About Getting The Adsense Payment?

As hard as it might be hard to believe a lot of people depend on their adsense payment. Forget the logic about not "putting one's eggs" in only one basket!

I saw one post from a guy in a foreign country (India - I think) who posted that he was waiting on his adsense payment to buy food!

Another contributing factor is that Adsense is not specific about when they will actually place that "payment in progress" line on a person's adsense account and people get frustrated trying to contact adsense about this matter.

Adsense does protect itself by saying that if a payment isn't received by a certain date then a reissue of the payment can be applied for - however that date is many, many days ahead of when payments are normally issued.

Like it or not some people are not going to be logical as far as getting their adsense payment is concerned!

Here Is What Adsense's Blog Says About Your Adsense Payment(s)

What is interesting to note here is that adsense says that they don't discriminate by processing those who opt for the check option.

Payment In Process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh for joy! The "payment in process" line is showing on my adsense account!

As you can see the date noted is January 25th - today - which happens to be on a Friday! Normally this would mean that if I were using the EFT transfer then the adsense money / payment would not show up in my account until Monday. But there was an occassion when I got the "PIP" line in my account on a Thursday but didn't actually have the money in my account until Saturday which while I was grateful to get that adsense money - it seemed kind of weird to have the access on a Saturday.

Now that I know that the "payment in progress" line is showing in my account I will have to see how long it takes for my adsense earnings to actually appear in my bank account. I was hoping that since the "PIP" line appeared during the early afternoon that it might appear in my account today. But you never know!

We Have Our First Sighting Of A Payment In Progress For This Month - January 2008!

Well we're at the monthly "waiting for the adsense payment" game! I have been looking around looking for some sign of someone getting a "payment in progress" line on their adsense account and today (EUREKA!) I found it!

Someone has reported that they have gotten the "PIP" line - they are from NY and they are getting their payment by check.

Now I have seen some postings that have said that adsense pays those who have the option of being paid by check earlier but adsense themselves say that this is not true.

Personally I was trying to guess-ti-mate when my "payment in progress" line would appear by looking for a past month that had the same date configuration as January 2008. What I found was that May 2007 had the same date configuration and according to my past adsense payment history I received the "PIP" line on the 23rd - so I thought the same thing would happen this month. It didn't because we're now at the 24th of the month and still no "payment in progress" line for me yet. But at least I know that someone else has received it which means that the rest of us can't be too far behind.

Thanks to the Webmaster's Forum For the January PIP thread!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At last! The "PIP" line is showing on my adsense account! FINALLY!

Now here is an interesting predicament. Since the "payment in progress" line appears today (December 24, 2007) when will the earnings actually be "spendable"? Tommorrow is Christmas Day of course and unless the bank "overnighters" are working tonight I have no hopes of being able to spend my adsense money until at least Wednesday! I also noticed that the "PIP" appeared earlier in the day than it usually does. Someone posted that adsense usually waits until the banks close before the "PIP" process begine - not so this time.

I'll let you know.

Does Adsense Ever Issue A Payment On The Weekends?

source

Here's an interesting question!

Up until now I always thought that adsense didn't issue payments on the weekend but then I found this discussion forum where the question was asked and it turns out that the answer is

Yes!

Apparently if they do issue a payment over the weekend it won't show up until Monday.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the case now!

Google Offices Closed Until December 27th!

I have to credit oncameratalent for providing this information.

First of all I have found out that Adsense's payment process is automated - and seeing that they are such a big company and probably have a lot of publishers this is quite understandable.

I have also found out that their offices would be closed until December 27th.

Now how does this relate to those of us that haven't received a "payment in progress" line on our adsense account? The only thing that we can do is wait.

Can I Get My Adsense Payment via Paypal?

In a word "No". Adsense pays by check and EFT only. In some areas they are just starting to issue payments via Western Union but that option isn't available in the United States.

There are also some other opinions as to why adsense doesn't pay via paypal

"Google owns Google Checkout, a competitor to PayPal, so I wouldn't really see a reason why they would want to offer PayPal payments.

I've emailed them about this already and they said no, they are not and will be not offer paypal payments."

There are also some good arguments about not using paypal to receive your adsense payment:

not a good idea to use paypal, they take a percentage on YOUR hard earned clicks. PLUS ive noticed it takes 3 days to transfer your paypal balance to your bank.

Payment In Progress Line Showing In Some Areas!

Adsense Payment In Progress

For December 2007

(for November 2007 earnings)

(PIP for short)

Has this appeared in your adsense account yet?

The December 2007 "payment in progress" (for November 2007 adsense earnings) line is showing in some of the adsense accounts. One of the places that the "PIP" line is showing is in India. Also the same line is showing in Portugal, the Philippines and Egypt! There are even some people in Canada that have posted that they got their "payment in progress" line! But so far its not showing in my own adsense account (I'm located in the US). As someone else has pointed out

This sucks!

Why Does The United States

have to wait so long

for their adsense payment!

It is also not showing in the UK.

Like I posted before there was a discussion of the adsense payments being early this month because it seemed like each December the payments came early (or as some people have said - late)

But let us keep our fingers crossed that we can get our adsense payment BEFORE Christmas!

---

Update - December 21, 2007 - As of 7pm EST, there is still no "PIP" line. Again I'm on the East Coast of the US and there is still no "payment in progress" line that appears in my adsense account.

Meanwhile there are about a dozen other countries that have received their PIP - and actually they have received it as early as the 19th which could mean that some of them actually already have access to their Adsense earning to a point where they can spend it during the Christmas holideay.

Unfortunately I can't say the same thing for myself (and the rest of the adsense publishers in the US)
