What if you haven't received a check yet? I'm due for a mid $xxx check anytime now, which has accumulated over the span of a year (the past month it raised way over $100).
I wouldn't hold your breath. I made over $2k in 2004(starting in June) and never got a gift last year... Now that I find there were gifts(now that I got one), I'm a little disapointed, actually... I bet the determining factor is $$$ within the calendar year. Maybe $5k or $10k+... -- Derek
It sounds like last year's gift was better than this year's... I also felt I was doing pretty good last year, but I guess Google's bar is a bit higher... Oh, not to mention all the $$$($10k+) that they effectively took away from me with jagger has significantly hurt my Christmas spirit this year... -- Derek
I'm pretty new to adsense but spent many thousands of dollars on adwords last couple of months already. Curious if I get the Xmas gift as well.
I'm from May 2005, therefore no present But I went with my friends in a pub this evening and drank some Wembley with Kinley and won a Coca-Cola Radio
lol - you know what happened today? For germans and european Adwords/Adsense Publishers Google filled out the custom papers wrong and now every one that got a Google presents in Germany/Europe are eligible for custom fees. They got a very very big letter from the customs, that they must pay duty fee about 20-43 Dollar. Thats a Christmas Present Thank Google that I became no Christmas Present from you! *lol* http://www.abakus-internet-marketing.de/en/seoblog/
Mistakes like this should not happen in a large corporate environment as Google is. Hopefully it won't happen for the next Christmas
I have been absent for quite some time from here... I was absent from my mailbox too and so on the 12th of January I find that on the 20th of December, I got the Google gift. Of course, not knowing that such things would be expected, it was truely a surprise. Thanks Google.
