Hopefully I can post this here!

To make a long story short, In June I moved the Adsense code in my site to a more desirable location, which increased our commission by 200%.

In the past I would atm deposit the check, they would hold it for 4 days, then make the funds available. Today, I thought I would walk in and see if they could verify funds to speed up the process.

As I gave the teller the Google check, he looked at me, then the check, then me, then the check and just smiled real big.

He said, "Adsense?"
I said, "Yah"

He walked away smiling and came back to tell me all was cleared and "You have a really nice day" ( big smile)"

I thanked him and said, "I most certainly will".

I think I found another Adsense convert today :)

It is definitely against the tos - you told someone else how much you make with adsense. Prepare for the dreaded email!

Or you could have given him a typical google canned response.

On the other hand a nice phrase I learnt in the SAS would have been 'I could tell you, but I would then have to kill you' ;)

Yes, my wife also knows how much I make. I wonder if I need to get a gag order.

No, you cannot tell your wife anything about this program. It's just like CIA work. What would happen if your wife were kidnapped and threatened for information about the program? She would have no choice but to tell, and as a result you would then get banned from the program.

After seeing the size of some of the Adsense checks, the tellers are probably considering quiting their low paying jobs to join the program.

Lodging an Adsense cheque gave me a chance to use a great line:
teller: Do you work for Google?
me: No. Google works for me.

LOL... I am figuring since he knew the name Adsense either he:

A. Is a new webmaster considering the program.
B. Met another Adsense publisher who deposited first and spilled the beans about the origin of THEIR large check.
C. Knows when he gets home.....his check is in the mail!

All I know is...I am going back to his window next month ;)
