google gift arrived

I just did a search and nothing as of yet.

Google sent out 1 and is waiting to see who posts so they can narrow down the webmasterworld user... :)

Elsewhen...you've been hit!

(Nice consolation prize though :)

Scraper site owners get a travel case too...but with coal inside.

Energy prices are so high that lots of people wish they were getting a lump of coal for Christmas.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU EARNING THROUGH ADSENSE TO GET GOOGLE GIFTS?

I am from India.

Till today Google Never sent me any gift. Waiting for one...eagerly.

Although the AdSense A/c. is a real gift to me....

Thank You Google for changing my life.

So far I have earned so much money, that I never dream earlier in my college life. I am considering retiring from work in next one or two years, and wish to spent rest of my life with my family. I am just 31.

God Knows....I can only hope.

i only participate in wholly legitimate projects, so i have nothing to hide from google.

sorry, i won't divulge this in a public forum.

i noticed that someone in the adwords forum seemed to receive the same thing, so maybe it was for adwords... but as i mentioned earlier, by the looks of the delivery address, it appears that this was for adsense.

It's not an amount that determines gifts.

Don't you think there's an algo involved here.

For example. IncrediBILL won't get a gift because his WW postcount grew too fast ;)

They send them out randomly and then lurk at WebmasterWorld and other forums and laugh while we try to figure out the basis for them....

i wouldn't be surprised if this was the case!

I spend over $100 a day on adwords but dont make much on adsense.. under $10 a day. so it might be from the adwords sinde in my case.

happy holidays

If the DHL guy comes I'm gonna say return to sender! Google already threw me a lump of coal right on my forehead!

WTG Google!

...sorry, just kiddin' around :) I wouldn't think otherwise, you have had some valuable input.

Adwords would make sense. A thank you to those that "pay them" seems correct. Sure, by showing Adsense we participate in Google income, but their true income starts with Adwords advertisers willingness to pay.

Congratulations on the gift!

My site is Adsense only...

:sinffle:

:cry:

Did SantaGoogle check his/her list twice?

I'm back but on dial up, waiting for trees to be cut down so I can get a satellite hookup.

This year i want a google girl,to hell with the gift :P

Question: Did you get a Google Christmas card too?

Question: Did you get a Google Christmas card too?

Not as of today, but the mail delivery has been pretty slow lately...so who knows :)

I was going to buy a little mouse so my 2^{1/2 year old daughter could start using my laptop, so this is a nice present for her as well :)}

Puts last year's gift to shame.

Thanks G!

Now for that stock to jump a couple hundred more points... ;-)
