    Hi guys

    I have been doing affiliate marketing from couple of years, because of some latest FTC stuff,i am planning to put adsense ads on some of my sites,i have few question....

    1>Does google pay via paypal or wire ?
    2>Do they pay weekly (like CPA networks on doing $1k+ volume/week)?
    3> How many days it takes for a cheque to reach an Indian address?

    1) By cheque
    2) January 1-30 earnings will be paid by around Feb 20 provided the earnings during the period is above $100
    3) For me in Kerala, it takes around 15 days after the cheque is issued.

    For us Indian Publisher, We have only option and that is check payment!

    2>Do they pay weekly (like CPA networks on doing $1k+ volume/week)?

    No, they pay on Monthly basic only! If you earned $100 or more in Jan then you will get payment on Feb End.

    3> How many days it takes for a cheque to reach an Indian address?

    Normally it takes 2 to 4 days once Blue Dart showing tacking information! So we can say it can take 5 to 7 days for big city!

    I think it is not good for you because it scans your website content and shows related textual advertising so you will loose some of your customers because people will click on your ads and buy from your competitors if you know what I mean.

    1. They Pay via cheque only at the moment, and Western Union in some countries.
    2. They Pay monthly when your payment threshold reaches minimum of $100
    3. It takes a week for me to get my cheque, and i think they issue cheque from Google, Banglore office via bluedart.

    If you're even a half-decent affiliate marketer, you will have a massive heart attack when you see your first month Adsense earnings. :p

    Thanks for replies.

    I got your point, but thing is i am not going to display any affiliate offers on the site,so it does not matter what they click and from where they buy,also i am in process of setting up few websites just for adsense.

    Good point lol, but i have to use adsense as the sites i will be using it on are health related,i use to have affiliate offers, but with FTC limitation, i am just avoiding any affiliate offers on sites, its just for 6-8 sites which get good traffic on daily basis.

    Wow, with 16k plus post and you never visited Adsense section. Goes to show how much info is on DP.

    Can't you sign up for direct deposit in your country? Thats the way to go. Checks get lost, stole, misplaced, eaten.

    Exactly, in fact i had around 15k posts figures by 2008,not much active now,used to spend 6-8 hours/day on DP itself.In 2009, started setting affiliate sites,membership etc.....Affiliate and BST are only two forums i visit most.

    We don't have direct deposit option i guess.
