Should I be worried?(first month using adsense)

haven't gotten Payment Approved yet...

[Vektorious]

Hi, this is my first post of many posts here at this website, and I came to ask what is the usual timeline of each month that I should get the payment approved message in my adsense payment history. Right now I have the January 31st date listed and the amount I made but I am not sure if this should have been approved already or what the deal is.

My first month on Adsense I generated these results :

Total Impressions : over 175,000
Total Clicks : over 1,000
CTR : 0.7%
Average CPM : over $5

I had google on my webpage starting the 17th of January, so my earnings were from the 17th to 31st.

My question is, when should I expect my first check? Also, what date ranges is it common to get the payment approved message?

It takes some time.
I would recommend you to edit your numbers because you are not allowed to post them (-> google TOS).
Just edit them so google can't identify you. (you can still keep numbers, just not the exact ones...)

And I wish I had the EPC you have... :-)

Within a few days you'll receive your check.
Mostly they arrive just before the end of the month.

How are my stats, is over 175,000 impressions a lot? or is that low? Also, Should I expect the payment approved soon?

I started using adsense on Jan 12th and my payment has not been approved either.

I was wondering the same thing.

Glad to see that it is not just me.

My earnings were decent. -- over $900

Holding my breath until I get the first check.

Please remember, as per the AdSense forum charter [webmasterworld.com], we don't do "where's my check" or "why isn't my payment approved yet" threads.

When payments ARE approved, there will be a thread here, so you can either watch your account, or watch for the "payments have been approved" thread :) Everyone generally will all be approved at once. And it can be approved anytime between now and March 2nd (30 days after the end of the earnings month.)
