i've been reading these fora for some time now, and i think it is time for me to post something that bothers me, and haven't heard you guys complaining about (you all really like complaining sometimes ;)).
The thing is that i think it takes way too much time before i get the money i earned. f.e. When I earn money on the 1st of may ($...), i have to wait untill the end of the month till it all gets added (30 days!), but now the magic happend, G needs 3 weeks for them to print out a check? (30 + 21).
I know they alleady have their money from the adwords advertisers (they mostly pay infront).
Why does it take so long? what are they doing in that time? G can do 1,000,000,000 calculations per microsecond. Possible fraudulent activity can be found withing a second looking at my stats.
With the time for recieving and cashing in the checks, i recieve my money that i earned 1/6 year ago.
They should improve this.

PS: i do like that new g 'answers' search thing, since it boosted my traffic big time (site listed above amazone, mtv, etc for keywords).

Earning interest, checking for fraudulent activity, earning more interest.
Agreed it takes too long, but G seems to be adding more and more options all the time, who knows perhaps in the future we will see weekly or bi-weekly payouts but I doubt it.
There are a lot of other affiliate programs where you need to wait even longer. Amazon for instance only pays per quarter. So it takes till May before you receive your earnings from January-March.
