Hi.. I'm new with google adsense, I see around many websites that some people dissatisfied getting banned from adsense (thou not much compared with the satisfied publishers). I would like to ask you guys, how long you've been with google adsnense?
I've been on Adwords for about 2 years, and Adsense for 1 year. As long as you don't make waves, it's a fine service. I don't feel cheated, they always pay, their rates are fair, etc. But every time I've needed to speak to a real human being, I have walked away with a bitter, bitter taste in my mouth. First of all, they have email responders that are fully automated and even when you think you've finally reached a human, subtle clues in their email can tell you that you're still talking to a machine. Or at the very least, that a machine prepped it, and a human possbily tweaked a line or two before sending it. Because of this, I get the runaround. All the time. I'll post a request, and get a generic response, and I'll respond to that, and get back the SAME generic response, ad infinitum. But whatever. With Google, I can display non-annoying ads and make decent money from it. I can't quite say the same about the competitors I looked at. -Tony
Im in my 2nd month but they just sent my first check =) Honestly I dont only use adsense, I use MIVA on other websites of mine starting 2 weeks ago and it is a great program, and they have very little rules, and actually better customer service (This very nice person named kevin called my house within 2 hours of me e-mailing them). I love adsense, but I like to know I will always have a backup incase anything happens (god forbid)

I will tell you though it is just like adsense, except 100X more blendable, they look like reg. text links. My CTR is amazing on my site. They also pay great I should say, average is about 20 cents a click for me. (fashion topic)
I myself joined AdSense on Nov 2004, but my first qualified payment (>US$ 100) is in February 2005. Unfortunatelly my bank could not clear that check as it amount less than US$ 500. So I asked to reissue payment, and credite my earning to next month revenue until it reach US $500. Since then, I hold payment to ensure that my check is more than US$ 500
Errm... About 3 months now - Arnica gave me the idea. I'm thinking about tweaking it though - I want to make some more money! How do people get $5000+ pcm, I can only make $100 at most!
I started in Nov 2004 as well. I really began diving in to adsense in April of 2005 and I am loving it!
