I am working full time for Adsense but not making much money. So far, I have yet to reach US$1000. I am reaching there but if I collect my check now, I might lose my motivation if I see the earned amount started from zero again instead of what I have been earning since joining Adsense.
What if I got banned (not that I am doing illegal stuffs that breached Google's TOS) before reaching US$1000? Will I get paid for the amount of money earned before getting banned?
Another stupid thing that I am doing now is not using Adsense at my .org sites. I could've earned more than what I am earning now if I put Adsense at all of my sites. I've been relying on only one web site and the traffic mostly coming from image search engines which is not profitable due to the type of ads shown. They also are consuming lots of bandwidth that I have to delete some pages.
:S
You got it.. Cash your Cheque now...
or you could lose all accumulated monies.. Not worth the risk is it?
If you are doing this only for motivation then a better motivation would be to set a monthly target ($1000? :-D ) and try to achieve that.
Flip
a) take the money as soon as possible. It's better sitting in your account, not Google's.
b) implement adsense on all of your sites, but put channels in to see where the ads work best.
c) move to a server capable of delivering your site as intended to visitors. Moving to US hosting made sense for me in that most of my visitors are there. The pages seem to load faster, and as the ads load faster I'm sure that has an impact on earnings. I think most would agree that a financial investment in hosting pays dividends.
d) not worry too much about getting booted unless you are doing something contrary to the TOS.
How do you get Perfered? Pay your fifty bucks I guess?
No, I am not saying that this type of things can happen with goooogle... but there is no benefit to keep your money with them ....
but there is no benefit to keep your money with them
There could be to AdSensers outside of the USA, the USA Adsensers situation is difficult, however especially to those who do not want EFT and have "alternative" banking arrangements keeping one's earnings in a safe place could, indeed, be very beneficial until one is ready to receive it.
I do not wish to be drawn on this, there's enough info available on that worldwidewebbyinternetthingy:-)
That way you could see the money growing, not only from your income, but as an investment as well.
Take the money while you can,
Because it's lost when you are banned.
Even if you're reinstated,
All your earnings are deflated!
If your only reason to leave it in is for motivation, and you don't need the money for anything immediate, Why don't you open an investment account specifically for the adsense income?
It won't happen for those in the US though, the tax authorities have far too much clout!
However are Google interested in the US market for their advertising growth? I doubt it.

Good idea. I do invest in stocks and I would like to see Google giving stock options to Adsense publishers. :D
Probably I'm asking too much from Google. But isn't this idea would actually benefit Google and Adsense publishers? Google can make use of our money and at the same time increasing the price of its shares in the stockmarket.
For example, lets say I reached my first US$200 more than a year ago and I opted for 1 Google share instead of receiving US$200 cheque. Google share closed at US$379.44 yesterday and I could have made a profit of US$179 and at the same time would be more motivated to work harder for Google.
Probably Messrs Larry Page & Sergey Brin would say "Keep on dreaming!"
:S
So I left it.
Car went wrong, that money would have come in handy.
Take it with both hands
