September payment approved

[fryman]

Payments for September were approved yesterday... and thanks to the clicks paying less every day, I didn't even get close to the $100 minimum...

This sucks

[Weirfire]

I'm over the $100 for the first time this month. When can I expect a cheque?

1-3 weeks .....

Fryman, you have to get out of the icon biz and into something more lucrative. I know you have the skills, so get on it.

Hmmm, sorry about that guys... That blows huh? I could spam advertise your website for one day just to help you out... How much your ads paying? PM me I am not coming back to this forum (I will probably lose it or something)

Oh my. I have to follow that post?

Is the adsense amount when you log in a good estimate of what you will be paid at the end of the month, or does google take a huge bite out of that? I had assumed what it showed in the earnings column I would receive in a check (well most of it at least). No?

You shouldn't make promises you can't keep. ;)

Lorien, if you click on the "Payment Status" link, it will show you how much you have earned in the current period. If it is above $100 for a calendar month, they will "approve" a payment some time (about the 5th or the 6th), then "calculate" the payment on or about the 20th (give or take 5 days). Then it shows up anywhere to a week to three weeks after that. So, you get paid about a month or so after the end of the month. Hope that is not too confusing of an explanation.

I ment this one thread, I will probably lose this one thread... jeez shawn your such a negitive nancy...


I guess I didn't lose it though...

Nobody is going to let you get their site banned too, just give it a rest.

A dumb question: what does "return service requested" mean on the envelop of the check?

[digitalpoint]

It means if the post office can't deliver it to the listed address for whatever reason, to please return it to them.

Thanks Shawn, I thought Google needed some kind of confirmation :p

Yeah... It was fun, but you are right, I need to move on. One-cent clicks won't get me anywhere :)

Problem is... I have no idea on what to do. Sometimes I think of some free content site, or an information one, then I think about some e-commerce site... or an affiliate site... any ideas?

[lorien1973]

Im in ecommerce, I've recently started putting adsense ads on my site to supplement the site's income. I get low cost clicks though, less than 50 cents, but I don't really care about that..its just a supplement.

If I were going to start over again, I'd do a site similar to searchwarp.com where theyhave a bunch of articles, and I'd integrate the adwords better than they do. Since people will submit their own articles to get a link back ... you get free content (in essence), plus relevant pages for good adsense ads. Optimizing the pages right would make it a nice little mini info site that could rake in the bucks :)

got approved! just curios who among you are fedex club member?

[fryman]

Thanks for the idea, lorien1973. However, just thinking of starting to build a site, and waiting ages for Google to pick it up, for backlinks to start showing, for keywords to start ranking... I really don't want to go over all that again.

I guess I will just buy a nice established site and SEO the heck out of it to improve it.

Jesus Christ, everyone has some problem with google... My problem is there banning, I can reach there $100 buck point in like one day (usualy my site gets like $70-171 a day *BESIDES TODAY MESO IS ONLY PAYING $0.21 TODAY SO I ONLY GOT $20 UP TELL NOW IT'S LIKE 11 AM I THINK*) but they don't send me a bloody check, lets see what there excuse is this time...

[lorien1973]

"this time I followed the rules" says it all doesn't it?

[disgust]

there are a lot of us that make a lot more than 100$ a day using completely legit methods :)
