June 2021 AdSense Earnings and Observations

[martinibuster]

Kicking off this month's earnings and observations!

[adsenseuser]

Weird month here too - some days it is quite low compared to average for that day. Other days higher than average. Noticed last 2 days particularly low compared to highs for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

[ember]

Let me just state again for the record how much I truly dislike the reports interface.

[deriklogov]

Seems like stat stuck, anybody else ?

[deriklogov]

hmmm.. nobody else has stuck stat for last 2 hours ?

[ember]

Stuck here.

[NickMNS]

Well if it was stuck, it just go unstuck for me.

[Lisa01]

Stuck again?

[deriklogov]

I think page views stuck but earnings keeps going

[Lisa01]

Yes, page views stuck

[gatormark]

Pageviews numbers have been weird for a week or so. My pageviews are decreasing but income is increasing.

Anyone getting:

Your payments are currently on hold. Action is required to release payment.

Provide or update your tax information. Your payments profile and country determine how your taxes are collected, withheld, and reported.

From what it looks like, they are going to start taxing my earnings even though I am in Canada, I am confused as heck.

[ronron]

^ yes saw that today. After filling out the needed form it's status quo for me after approval.

I'm also Canadian and you have to choose using existing treaty laws with the US to get 0% tax rate.

Have your SIN number ready for the foreign TIN they will request.

[deriklogov]

@ronron so what did you choose ?

[deriklogov]

I am not familiar with a tax treaty, so what should i choose to get 0% in US since i am Canadian.

>>> Are you claiming a reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty?

[NickMNS]

I got it too (I am Canadian, Hey!). In principle it shouldn't change anything it is simply paper work to ensure that you are in fact a Canadian individual or entity. Obviously if you should have been paying taxes to the IRS all this time then it may well change something, but otherwise it is only a formality. But... to be sure I will be contacting my accountant tomorrow. I should say it was nice of them to block earning on the 22nd after issuing last month's payment, instead of before. Like that we have 30 days to get things straightened out.

[ronron]

I chose individual and that I wasn't a resident in the US. Then I chose the first option form since I do not file a return in the US.

Can't remember the exact name of the form but the above options leaves you with that specific one.

On that form you choose that you are claiming a reduced rate under treaty and select the country Canada. Just make sure your permanent address is a Canadian one (as it should I imagine) and that you have your SIN.

Got approved instantly after submitting the form. In the end, everything is the same as it were before. I did come across something on the web saying Google will be asking you to fill this form again every 3 years to keep records updated. So be prepared to do this again down the road.

[gatormark]

This 3rd quarter is starting off with a lower CPC. I hope ad spending doesn't tighten up.

[gatormark]

Ridiculous clawback of 15%. That's my highest clawback ever. I can't believe there is $25 a day worth of invalid clicks...in addition to what they remove every hour.

[ubound]

I had 1950 euro in earnings for June but they only confirmed 0.32 cents just now. I have never had this happen before, I am using Adsense for 11 years. Is it a bug?

[ubound]

Now that I look at transactions, this appears to be exactly the amount for Adsense for search, so perhaps they just added that to my balance and the rest is going to update later? I hope so. In my 11 years I've never seen something like this.

I have seen that a few times, but this month is taking longer to post the full balance. Usually, I get the balance 1-2 hours after the end of the month.

[webmistresss]

I am also just seeing the amount we earned due to search but nothing else yet. I'm sure it will populate fully within a few hours.

[puente]

also seeing paltry search earnings only. looks like a delay. but happy i can confirm with other folks here.

This helps a lot. I now feel embarassed for panicking so early. I actually contacted them by email, too.

[ubound]

They updated it again, everything looks correct now.

[azlinda]

Back up to a 20% clawback for June! And this was in addition to many clawbacks during the day.

[bhukkel]

I have a 52% clawback, never been so high.

[azlinda]

OMG, bhukkel! That's outrageous. My highest ever was 30%. I just activated Super Bot Fight Mode on Cloudflare. I'll see how that works out.

[Judenirosan]

I had a 20% claw back, that's ridiculous any how, I'm giving traffic cop a try.

[deriklogov]

looks like stat stuck again
