March earnings payment has not been approved

No "April 16th" payment approved in payment history

[knoir]

It seems that everyone else here(majority) got their adsense earnings for last month approved. I on the other hand have not been approved yet. It is starting to worry me. Should I be worried? Last month (february earnings) were approved on March 11th.

My approval date is the 21st? Why is it not the 16th? Are there different approval dates for different times you sign up?

Hi

ok still no sign of approval for my account. Looks like google is late again.

I don't understand why most accounts have been paid out fine, and others haven't. Looks like we will just have to wait and wait, and hopefully get something sent soon.

[NazaretH]

Confirm. Still nothing. And only standard reply from Google where they state that they send checks of over 100$ only and within 30 days. So, 30 days if over and check is times more than 100$.

[whizkiddo]

how about approved on 16th but no cheque yet? Its never so late. usually by the tim eevery1 starts posting about getting the cheque, i get it in 2 days or so. why doesnt G offer alternate arrangements. Paypal would be great for a start.

the main reason i am so interested in this thread, is not coz adsense hasn't paid me, i got mine in the few days ago ... but because i personally recommended a friend to try adsense. she's been burnt by crooked affiliate progs in the past and it took me some convincing to get her to understand that (a) she'd likely be getting more than just 1-3 cents per click and (b) google is google and if ever anyone would pay her monies owed it's them!

well, how wrong i've been proven .. it's now past when their terms said she would notified of payment, and no sign of the small change that she's owed. well, she just told me that if she doesn't hear from them by monday, she's going take them off her site. what can i say to stop her ... nada.

i think this is a real shame, and one of my biggest fans google has just gone to ipo and looks like they are stiffing people or up to something with regard to payment. could this be to earn extra interest so the bank account looks better for the ipo dance. whatever it is, it's definitely not right. jenstar, if you could, you should have a word with some of your contacts there.

looks like they are stiffing people or up to something with regard to payment.

Can they actually not pay us, but keep us as publishers? You also said that you got your check...when did you get yours?

[DavidC]

I think they will pay up, but i just wish they had been more honest and up front over this delay. If these delays were part of the payment review, surely others would have been affected in past months... This seems the first month where some accounts have been delayed.

I liked the google program because it provides good, extra cash to my site, but the main reason is because it used to pay "on time".

All we can do is sit back, and wait...

[NazaretH]

I think Google is doing a very big mistake. I am not talking about the late payment itself - this may happen to anyone - not a problem at all. The real bad thing is that Google never bothered to send out a short "we are sorry, we need some extra time" letter to their publishers, which is shame, and nobody would convince me that it's not. I understand that Google just either forgotten or doesn't care, which is very bad anyway, and puts Google way back to a line of some very greedy and careless companies many of us know of. Too sad.

[knoir]

I totally agree with you. A simple notice, alerting us of delays would have made everything better. I would of then made different financial decisions. I definetly learned my lesson. Whats worst is that I write to them..and i get no response.. Thats getting me even more upset.

[expert_21]

they should've sent us an e-mail. don't think that's a hard thing in their part.

[Fiver]

anybody received anything other than a form letter yet?

I seem to recall in Sept. of last year or so the approval date didn't show up until into the next month, but it wasn't a case of some people being paid and others left in the dark.

[hooloovoo22]

still nothing here. the silence is deafening. how many of us are there?

it's kind of disappointing, adwordsadvisor has over 1000 posts now, and adsenseadvisor is still at 30.

short stick for publishers...

[DavidC]

still nothing, and no reply to a support mail for a few days....

Has anyone tried calling google, will they support adsense over the phone?

[knoir]

I received another email from google today, after complaining again about the whole situation. They told me that they ecountered an issue with their system that delayed the processing of my april adsense payment, and that it will be sent as quickly as possible, within the next 2 weeks.

It does not change anything, but atleast they let me know when i should expect my check.

Hope this helps.

[hooloovoo22]

thanks for the update knoir

[dnbjason]

I just received the same letter as 'knoir' did.

[hooloovoo22]

in response to your inquiry or they just emailed you proactively?

[dnbjason]

they emailed in response to the email I sent them a few days ago.

[dnbjason]

Google has just sent out official notices about the April delay. Check your email if you haven't received your payment yet.

[Fiver]

Yup, looks like they finally sent an email. Issue with system.

Was that so hard?

Appreciate the correspondence.

[rfcon]

It's seems that Google is facing problems with their systems, I've just received a mail saying something like "...inform you that we encountered an issue with our system that has delayed the processing of your April AdSense payment.."

I hope to get the check soon!

[expert_21]

no wonder i've yet to receive the cheque. didn't receive the e-mail though.
