Hi. I'm relatively new to adsense. I put hardly any effort into Adsense at all, which is why i made around $3.50 in October, $8 in November, $15 in December and about $14 so far this month. So overall I've not reached the $50 mark. However, I just received an e-mail from Adsense because I have now reached $50 and that they need to verify my account by phone, and then by the PIN, which is dated as being sent January 22nd. My question is, why have I received this if I haven't reached $50 yet? Or are Google just perceiving that I will reach $50 by the end of the month based on my current daily average earnings? Not that verification is a problem, it just seemed weird that I got this e-mail and got my account put on 'limited' account control until I complete these verification steps. Thank you
Yes, it's something perfectly normal. Just verify (it takes no time) and keep working on your sites. Good luck!
