"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!

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!

What Happens When You Use High-Paying Keywords?

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 Is My High-Paying Keyword List Working?

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!

A Pleasant (And Profitable) Surprise!

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!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

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!

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!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

I'm starting to like this very much because it means that I am reaching that $100 minimum goal more sooner in the month than in past months! It also means that I still have the rest of this month - August 2009 - to accumulate even more Adsense earnings!

I have also come to find out that even those sites that have more traffic than me doesn't necessarily mean that those sites are making more money than my sites are! For example someone posted that their sites get over 400 visitors a day and still they only manage to make $20 at the very least with Adsense!

That shows me that even with my small amount of traffic that I am still at least doing something right since I have been able to make it to the $100 minimum before the month is over!

It just goes to show you that you don't have to have a huge amount of traffic to make some Adsense money!

You just have to know how to maximize and optimize your site for the Adsense program!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

As you can see from the picture on the right, I have earned past the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment next month! This comes as good news because after what can only be called a "slump", it looks as though my earnings are inching up again! I say this because this I have reached the $100 minimum more earlier in the month than last month. So hopefully this is a good sign of things to come!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

As you can see I made it past the $100 mark! That means that I have earned enough to get an Adsense payment next month plus I still have the rest of the month to go!

This is not my most prosperous month by far but I'm doing a lot better than a lot of others who have Adsense on their sites. It seems that us Adsense earners are experiencing decreases in what we generally make per month using Adsense.

I do have a few ideas as to how to increase my Adsense earnings and they include using higher-paying keywords and increasing the traffic to my sites.

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

As you can see, I have made it just past the halfway mark for this month! Since this is the 13th of the month that means that I still have the rest of the month to make the minimum $100 needed to get an Adsense payment for next month!

My basic numbers have gone down and I'm not too happy with my CTR but my CPM's are at least over $10!

And I'm pretty that I will at least make the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment next month.

With the exception of the first 2 months that I belonged to Adsense, I have always made at least the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment the next month and I am not going to break that record!

The Adsense Site Is Back Up And Running!

Just in case you didn't know, Adsense was doing site maintenance today but I am happy to report that they are now back up and running again!

I know this because I just checked out my own Adsense numbers.

So the Adsense site is back up again!

I Made It Past The $100 Mark!

Well I finally made it just past the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment next month.

It seems that almost everyone's Adsense numbers are down and that includes myself as well.

Basically what I am going to have to work on now is to increase my click-thru rate and increase my cpm numbers - meaning attracting more higher-paying Adsense advertisers.

But for right now I am quite glad that I made it to the $100 minimum today and I still have the rest of the month to go yet!

I Made It Past The Halfway Mark!

As you can see, I have made it just past the halfway mark - meaning that I earned just a little over $50 so far this month!

I'm a little disappointed with the numbers I'm getting but that's MY and not Adsense's - LOL!

I have been checking my adsense numbers all day and was just UNDER the %50 halfway mark. But just a few minutes ago I noticed a surge and now I'm just slightly past the halfway mark.

That means that I still have the rest of the month to earn at least the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment next month.

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

As you can see I'm a little past the halfway mark earning just a little over $50 so far this month!

This gives me the rest of February to earn at least the $100 minimum needed to get an Adsense payment next month.

I Finally Made It To The $100 Minimum!

It took me a while to get here but at least I have now earned at least the minimum to get an adsense payment next month!

Although my adsense numbers are improving a little, I see that I have a ways to go until I get back to my "peak" earnings!

I'm also adding more pages / sites / blogs with more adsense ads on them as well.

I'm Currently At The Halfway Mark!

As you can see from this picture I am currently a little past the half-way mark of $50!

This is a good sign because as I mentioned before my adsense numbers were getting quite low but now they are starting to pick up.

This means that I still have at least the rest of the month to be able to earn at least the $100 minimum (meaning I need to generate $48 more) in order to get an adsense payment next month.

Hi can u please help me out?
The adsense ads have stoped appearing suddenly for 2 days....it shows the solid color or pub serv ads ...though i had been seeing ads for 1 year...my other site is doin well ,wat might be the problem with this blogspot site? reply......xxxx@gmail.com....
please...huge loss for me huh?

First of all I don't think that it is a good idea for you to leave your email address where everyone can see it. I don't want you to be an unfortunate "spam" victim.

It could be just a simple matter of the Adsense spiders not finding any content on your site that is appealing to advertisers and that is why the public service ads are appearing.

In any event it is just too hard to be able to help you any further without even knowing what your site looks like or where it is located.

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!

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!

September 2008! - Payment In Progress!

The first place that I always go and check first to find out about the latest "PIP" is Webmasterworld Google Adsense Message Board! I took a look at it today as soon as I got online and there were already 8 more posts about the latest "payment in progress" line showing up. So excited that I was I decided to check my own Adsense numbers to see if the "PIP" line showed up in my own Adsense account and there it was!

Judging by the forum thread it looks as though places outside the US had gotten their "payment in progress" lines first - in places like Malaysia and India. But there are also posts from those in the US who have gotten their "payment in progress" lines too.
