Earnings since last payment decreased - what happened?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by BunkerBuster, Jun 26, 2008.

    I have installed a few AdSense ads on a few of my web pages that have some interesting pictures on them. Usually I earn no more than a few dollars a day, if that much even.

    Two weeks ago my site made it to the top listing of Digg, Reddit, et al., and I received literally hundreds of thousands of impressions, and received a lot of clicks. Since then the earnings since last payment has shot up over $500. Today I check it, and the same 'earnings since last payment' dropped from $500 to less than $400.

    What happened to this $120 and why was it taken away from me? I have no reason to suspect any funky business going on.

    Thanks!

    I know they can do whatever they want, but is it really right for Google to take away money they say you've earned? I can understand they not pay out as much the next time, but to see that amount drop from $500 to $380 one day later hurts!

    May be google have issued a payment, if you have the option enabled to get monthly payments? That $120, you earned it in the past month ?

    I wish, but no payment was issued between yesterday and today. The money simply disappeared :(

    I wonder is Google suspects any fraud? I would *hate* to even have to think this!
