Adsense New Pin Details

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 | Adsense with

Got a big scare today with Google Adsense. Logged into my account And i saw this pink box saying “Your payments are currently on hold. Action is required to release payment. “.

With all the posts in webmaster forums i see of accounts banned, i didnt even read the notice properly and thought my account was banned.

After reading the more details part, i found out its on hold till i enter my pin number. But i only have $30 in it and they usually send it when you reach $50. That got me thinking some more.

So, off to read Google Adsense TOS again. Guess what i find?

This is from the Google Adsense site: ( link below )
When will I receive my PIN?

Once your account balance reaches $10, your Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be generated and sent via first class mail within 3-5 days. You can view the date it is generated by clicking the Please enter your PIN link on your Payment History page. After your PIN is mailed, you should expect it to arrive within 2-4 weeks, but it may take longer to reach you depending on the postal service in your location.

WOW! Google Adsense has changed the amount when you receive your pin.

Check it out here.

I think it’s $100 before payment, in case you’re expecting it. Also, it’s not calculated until the end of the following month.

I thought it was pretty funny when my pin # arrived in the mail because I almost threw it out. It looked like junk mail to me.

I also had the “little freak out” when I saw the pink box. OF course I had more of a freak out when the PIN never showed up. I had to get Google to resend the PIN 3 times before it showed up in my mailbox.

I think my letter carrier is thieving my mail. I miss quite a few Clickbanks cheques as well
