Just musing - really it should be in Google's interest to delay payments as long as their terms let them. Can you imagine what kind of additional interest they might draw on the entire adsense payout balance by delaying 2-3 days? At 4% interest one days interest (on one million dollars) would be worth a bit over $100 SO the real question is how much does google payout each month? Avery
The answer lies right in their quarterly report. Google said that it paid out $1.06 billion dollars to its Adsense partners. Google Network Revenues, which is what the partner sites (Adsense) generated in revenues, came in at $1.35 billion dollars. So Google paid out about 21.5% to its Adsense publishers in the last quarter. Google Network revenues accounts for 35% of its total revenues in the most recent quarter.
