"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!

"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!

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

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.
