I Got My "Payment In Progress" Line Today!

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!

My PIP Has Arrived!

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!

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!

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

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...................

Will We Get An Adsense Payment Before Christmas?

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 PIP Has Arrived!

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!

My PIP Has Arrived!

As you can see, my "PIP" / "payment in progress" has finally arrived today!

Kind of odd too (although its greatly welcomed!) because I checked my Adsense numbers earlier today and was disappointed not to see my "PIP" line. So I thought that I would head over to the discussion boards to see what other people were saying and what I found out was that only so far those who were getting paid by regular check were getting their "payment in progress" lines. Another person posted said that they 'spect it would come on Wednesday - since they were a "senior" member I kind of resolved myself to the fact that maybe they were right and I resigned myself to thinking that I wouldn't get my "PIP" until Wednesday - thus not getting able to spend the money until Thursday (unless one knows Rose's secret for being able to spend her Adsense money earlier!

Being the obsessive person that I am, I decided to check my Adsense numbers a few hours later and guess what! - my "payment in progress" line is there!

Just goes to show you that sometimes even the "experts" or "seniors" can be wrong!

There Has Been A Payment In Progress Sighting For January 2009!

Someone in India posted that they got their "PIP" for May 2009! Alas since this is the Memorial Day weekend I don't expect to see a "payment in progress" line on my own Adsense account until Tuesday - which is a few days away.

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!)

Well! My PIP has FINALLY shown up!

I think that this is about the latest that my "payment in progress" line has shown up for my Google Adsense account!

It is now the 28th of the month with only 2 more days left to go in the month and I'm glad that my "PIP" for April 2009 has finally shown up!

It's not only me but there were a LOT of other people who were concerned about not seeing their "payment in progress" line show up. But now that it is starting to show for some, then the others can't be too far behind!

Merry Christmas! My PIP Has Arrived!

To be quite honest I am actually shocked to see my "payment in progress" line today!

If you want to know the specifics, first I checked out the Payment in Process message board just to see if anyone in the U.S had posted that they got their "PIP" for December 2008 yet - and come to find out that they had!

So that's when I checked my own Adsense account and the "PIP" line was there!

Merry Christmas!

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" for December 2008?

Just in case you're curious, I kind of estimate that my "PIP" line will show up on December 24th BUT I won't actually get my adsense earnings until AFTER the Christmas holiday!

I base this on the fact that last year I got my "payment in progress" line on December 24th, went through agony for that and Christmas Day and then had the money to spend the day after Christmas!

However I do remember that when I first starting getting my Adsense earnings that I got my "PIP" line on something like the 21st of December but since then those payment dates are getting later and later!

Payment Received And Some Of It Already Spent!

Just wanted to let everyone know that my adsense payment was received and I have already spent a good portion of it!

In fact, I was having so much fun spending money that I just didn't have the time to post about actually receiving the payment.

As a matter of curiousity, my "PIP" was received on a Friday which meant that I didn't actually get the payment until the next business day which was Monday!

According to my calculations, the "payment in progress" line for Novemeber 2008 is estimated to be on November 27th!

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

I posted about receiving this message before noting that everyone who is scheduled to receive an Adsense payment would also receive this message too.

What I particularly noticed about receiving this message this is that again I am receiving it on the 18th of the month. When I posted about this before I noted that when I got this message on the 18th, my "payment in progress" line showed up on the 23rd of the month!

According to my obsessive calculations I have already noted that on a comparable month, the "PIP" line would show up on the 26th of this month (September 2008) but I have also noticed that January 2007 has the same date format except that September 2008 has one less day! During January 2007, my "payment in progress" line showed up on January 23rd!

Personally my gut tells me that my "PIP" will show up sometime between the 24th and 26th (which happens to be on a Friday which means no actual Adsense money in hand until Monday at the very least!) of this month.

We'll see just how close my calculation will be!

"Payment In Progress" - PIP, PIP HOORAY!

The "PIP" line is showing on my adsense account today! Yipeeeeeeeeee!

I should go buy some beer to celebrate!

It's always an agonizing wait waiting for that monthly adsense payment!

But I should be happy (and I am!

that the "payment in progress" line has finally showed up for June 2008 for my May 2008 adsense earnings!

Just on the off chance.......................

I checked my adsense account today (Sunday) just to see if my "payment in progress" line was showing. It was not!

Since I have been with Adsense for over a year now I have never seen the "PIP" line show on a Sunday - or Saturday for that matter!

So I'll just have to wait until Monday to see if my "payment in progress" line shows up for this month - June 2008!

Do you want to place odds on when the adsense payment will be coming this month?

June 2008 has the same layout as July 2007 and during July 2007 I received my "payment in progress" line on July 23rd which happened to have been a Monday.

So it will be interesting to see if a "PIP" line shows up on the 23rd of this month although similar comparisons haven't resulted in similar results.
-----------------------------------------------------------

6/16/08 Update! - I also did some further checking and found out that April 2007 has the same date format as this month, June 2008. On that month my "payment in progress" line showed up on April 24th, 2007 which was on a Tuesday.

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!
