    You wont believe what happened to my friend. He made around $40,000 on his yahoo publisher account, when he checked his payment report, it went from around $40,000 to $21,541.38. They sent that $21k check today....

    WTF is yahoo doing? They are taking away massive money that people have legally earned!!:eek:

    That couldnt have been it. He was using google analytics, and 95% of his traffic was from the US...:confused:

    Maybe you can tell your friend to ask Yahoo! and then report it back here.

    Maybe he gathered the other amount this month? They don't send it all in one big chunk.

    Yup. Maybe the 21k was for last month and the rest for this month.

    google analytics does not help in geo-targeting so he may had lot of non-us visitors, he is lucky to get that check...

    it was my understanding that international clicks never even show up in the reports. Something else has to be up.

    Half of it is probably paid now because its April revenue, and the other half is probably May revenue and will be issued to him next month.

    That is a good point. I would check the account to see what if anything carried over.

    No, he said that for april he made over $40,000. He was waiting for the pending which showed over $40,000. When the pending went away and it said "Payment Sent", it dropped down to $21,000. Somehow half of his money disappeared.

    No, he didnt have any tax thing checked.

    Yes, international clicks are taken out automatically at the end of the day.

    BTW, he showed me a screen shot of before and after so I know he is not lying ;)

    (This month he made about $50,000, so before the pending balance thing it was over $90,000....)

    Why not ask Yahoo instead of complaining on his behalf in an interent forum. They are very responsive. I talk to my rep on the phone!
