    They should not be evil and pass the money on to the small publishers.

    You can't blame them for not sending everyone a gift. I can imagine even sending the gift to those publishers that earned $10,000+/year is probably already costings them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    So it sounds like some gifts have already been sent out and that some people are still receiving theres. Can I ask if you do/have receive a gift that you mention it here and also mention how much you earned this year with AdSense so we can work out what the cutoff to receive the gift is. Thanks.

    Hey Jack,

    I know you have some celeb sites. Do you find that Yahoo is better than Google on those?

    Thanks

    You might be better off PMing him because this thread is about Google's Christmas Gifts, not celeb site's CPC of the different programs.

    Also I wonder if the international AdSense users will get their gifts a week or so later than the US users. I mean it makes sense that it takes longer for international users to receive their gifts.

    Yahoo just pays more per click regardless of what type of site you have, I've found. But Google get more clicks and higher CTR.

    Thanks Jack.

    As far as gift, this is my first year with Adsense, I only started in April and have just made a couple thousand. I do not really expect a gift, but I do want to get my grandma a electronic pic frame, so if I get lucky, it will be my grandma who really benefits.

    Personally, as much as I like free stuff, I would prefer to get a checks for what I make, then I can just buy what I want/need.

    I dont know if its because you live in Korea or not, but it could also be because they dont consider $20k in 8 months to be anything substantial, as sad as that might be.. :cool:

    Going by last year, they do send them to international users, and they do consider 20K in 8 months to be worthy of their Christmas gift, but I don't know what their prerequisites are this year.

    Only time will tell.

    I guess the more publishers there are the higher their threshold level for gifts. And considering that the number of publishers have exploded in 2006, I'm guessing the numbers are really high this year.

    Don't feel too bad - I make substantially more then many of those who have already received a google gift. Nothing has shown up for me.
