I didn't get a check. I got it via bank wire I got 124.48 dollars which was roughly 100 euros at that time
Um it was nice mine comes from sweden i think, takes close to two weeks to reach me after deduction from my account till i get the cheque, clears quick though.
I opt for the direct deposit. I figure it was around $300 my first month. Ahh, the good old days. Back when Adsense ads could be manipulated to the publisher's wishes
My first check was $140-ish something. It felt great and at the moment I receive a constant check every 1-2 months from Google for about the same amount Good luck!
wow I can't wait to get my first check. But I just started my blog and the money is really not the reason I'm doing it, so a check would just be gravy.
