Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I never get to be the first to post the "payment in progress"! But I am happy for you please say whether you are receiving payment by check or EFT. The only reason why I ask is because there seems to be a rumor going around that those who are paid by check get their PIP lines first.

I know its a small and "minute" thing but getting that PIP on a Friday when you have the EFT option means that you won't be able to actually "get" the payment until Monday at the earliest! But one (meaning I) should be grateful that the "PIP" line is showing up for someone else because that means that its in the process of showing up in everyone else's adsense account.

So I guess that there maybe something to the rumor of those who get
theirs by check get the payment in progress line sooner than those that get it via EFT. Since I'm also located in the Northeast I'm a little disappointed at not getting the PIP yet but at least you got it

No EFT PIP but it's interesting to see "You are scheduled to be sent a payment by the 30th of this month." even though there are only 29 days in the month.

"Oops, just refreshed and I see a PIP. East Coast." I'm being pessimistic here but is your payment option by regular check or EFT? If its EFT then there's hope for me as I am on the East Coast as well

PIP EFT also on West Coast USA. I had to look up the real meaning of PIP at Wikipedia, and it could be a number of things like: Peripheral Interchange Program
Priority Inheritance Protocol
Palisades Interstate Parkway
Private Independent Practice
Personal Identity Provider
Peak Inspiratory Pressure
Parallel Interface Port
Picture-In-Picture
Point In Polygon

Ah it's PIP time again. Just in time for the US dollar's new low against the euro. I'll bet UK publishers aren't very thrilled about getting paid in dollars.

USD suck big time, but PIP Rulz.
For non-us publishers the USD weakness is a big problem.

No PIP in the United Kingdom. I'm a little concerned that it's already the 27th and it hasn't showed up yet. I properly won't receive the payment (via EFT) in my bank until next Tuesday now, which will be the 4th of March. That's just ridiculous - I need the money now!

Google state that your money will be in your bank by the 5th of the month so receiving it before then is a bonus and can't be complained about.

PIP in the UK as well. Regarding the £/$ exchange rate, it's not that bad to tell the truth. About 1.97 today but it has fallen from 2.10 in November. The Us$ has been plumetting but the £ has plummeted even further over the last 4 months. The Euro is another story altogether, that is bad news if your payments are in Euros. And I have every faith in the UK PM that he will cock up the UK economy even more badly than the US. I hope so!

It's a good incentive to start developing a site that doesn't rely Adsense to generate revenue. If only I had more time to develop such a site...

PIP on the east coast of .au What do you think, once PIP is visible, is the currency conversion done or is at a later point in the transaction?
The $USD is still falling against the $AUD, and I'm just wondering if I caught it before the surge today... Hmmm.. thats interesting. If I compare actual currency conversion rate (from the 'details' link on the payment history page) to what I see recorded on exchangerate dot com for the last few months, either they are calculating the final amount quite early in the month (~25th), or they are quite generous in their conversion rates. Even more interesting - when they made the error in the .au conversions in the December payment, the payments made a week later in January used the same conversion rate as was supposed to be applied earlier (assuming 1/0.867 = 1.153) So, answering my own question - I think currency conversion is calculated before PIP is entered in our accounts. This is good if your currency is rising in comparison to the USD, but bad if it is falling.

I would think as it was their mistake they had to pay you at the same rate as the orriginal payment otherwise if the exchange rate went against you, you could have ended up with less than if they paid it correctly originally and the backlash from that could have been quite harsh.
