how come google from say October payment does not pay EFT untill 1st DEC for example, I remember a year ago 6 days to the end of the month I was getting payments from adsense? why is so late now? any one know?
I guess its all going to depend on where your located. Since we haven't got a clue as to how adsense issues their payments it is just too hard to say. I'm on the East Coast of the US and for October 2007 earnings I received my PIP line on November 26. I don't know why you got yours so late.
Because the longer the money stays in their hands the better. It is called interest. They now also collect their adwords money before paying on AdSense. It use to be the other way around. I use to get all excited about it but now I could care less.. Once I saw my amount per click drop 60% because of a complete saturation of the market I found another revenue source. I hope to remove it completely from my site in the next 6 months
