However I just noticed that the sent out date for Sep was the 27th, but in fact the cheque was dated the 29th Sep & the postmark was also the 29th Sep.
So how can they say that the cheque was sent out on the 27th Sep when the cheque was not even printed?

The process of sending out might involve the start of the process, which in turn might involve third parties.
For example, data file indicating payouts is sent to third party used for check issuing on the 27th.
The check is printed by this third pary on the 28th.
The check is postmarked the 29th.
This reminds me of how contracts are deemed to be accepted. Lets suppose that you sent a proposal giving them until the 10th to accept, but without noting that it must be postmarked by the tenth , if they sign off on the tenth and dropped off in a mailbox, but it doesn't gets postmarked until the 11th and you don't get it until the 14th, it is still considered accepted.
Of course this is me remembering stuff from college ten years ago so I might be wrong.
Its not a big thing just something i noticed, however to most of us when we see and read that cheque was sent on this date, to me this means it really was sent out and its when the clock starts and we switch to the waiting and waiting (some much more than others) and are very anxious for it arrive like its Christmas day ahaha :-)
Take for instance that some of the cheques were dated 29th like mine, but some have reported theirs were dated the 31st, so already 4 days gone with most of us expecting the cheque to arrive in 5 days.
But like all things with Google, you need to wait and see, but in the end all normally goes well, Fingers crossed.
I'm new here and at Google Adsense
In My CP it says:
Thursday, November 6, 2003 Earnings calculated for Oct 1, 2003 - Oct 31, 2003
My question is:
When will they actualy send my check for October?
It will be this month or in December?
Thank you!
it says:
Note: We will mail you a check for your account balance within 30 days of the end of every calendar month that your earnings amount to $100 or more. We will also pay out all accounts at the end of the year, regardless of balance.
They will likely take most, if not all, the 30 days.
I was living with the impression that in my Adsense CP it will be another announcement like:
Payment Send... blah, blah
For me Earnings calculated is not the same with Check sent on...
$$$ for christmas :)
Keeping my fingers crossed
G cheques are always late. I suppose this is a cashflow issue.
Personally, I'm more worried about the amount than the arrival date of the check. Has anyone else noticed a 25%+ decrease in the revenue-per-click? Is G getting greedy, or did I do something wrong?
G cheques are always late.
This is simply not true. Late would mean they were mailed more than 30 days after month end, which has never happened.
I am sure it is not a cashflow problem. They have already been paid for those click throughs by the advertiser.
As for the decrease in EPC, there have been many recent threads on this to get your started. Revenues decreased by 90%, but impressions constant [webmasterworld.com] is a good place to start.
IMHO, though, G is getting too greedy. The distraction factor of the AdSense ads doesn't justify the meager revenue on my site. If things don't change within the next week or two, I'll drop out of the program. I suppose some other publishers are probably thinking the same.

Very, very few people use meager and AdSense in the same sentence when referring to AdSense income. Unless your site is on something so niche there are hardly any ads for, I would definitely check into whether or not there is something else at play which is resulting in "meager revenue". ie. excessive PSAs (cause by trigger keywords; session IDs; etc) or even ad placement and appearance.
Any comments?
My site isn't in a narrow niche. It actually includes a number of topics that attract AdSense ads. I don't have a lot of PSAs.
Although traffic on my site continually grows, my Adsense clicks have actually gone down by about 10% over the last few weeks. I don't know what has caused this. Probably fewer advertisers I guess.
What really concerns me, however, is the $-per-click, which has gone down by about 25%. That's quite a drop and it seems unlikely that it would be caused by one or two advertisers pulling out.
As far as I know, the amount that you earned last month won't appear in the payment history until it's just that - payment history. As is being mentioned on this thread, G have up to 30 days to post the cheque, so I wouldn't stress just yet.
Nice earnings, btw.
2odd...
but I had one extra "x" in there then it should've been.
Here's hoping Google make the same mistake with your cheque ;)

Payment history only shows payments that have been sent; you can find monthly totals in the reports, using performance by date.
