Payment In Progress!



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

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

The Adsense Site Will Be Down For Maintenance Saturday



Here is an excerpt from the Adsense site:

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

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




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

Merry Christmas! I Got My PIP Today!




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......



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!



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!

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



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!

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!



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!

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!

Monday, October 25, 2010

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


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"......




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



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!



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!

Friday, September 24, 2010

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

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



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".....


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....



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!



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!



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?

Monday, July 26, 2010

There Has Been A "Payment In Progress" Sighting!



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......"




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?"



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!



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!



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!
