Western Union update for Adsense- Expiry data extention & splits payment

Good news for Adsense ads publisher who receive payment via Western Union.

First, expiration data has been extended. Not really a case for publisher like me who immediately cash it out once available..

The second one must be a cheers for huge earner Adsense publishers. It stating

For instance, if the payout limit in your country is $3,000 USD and your payment for the month is $5,000 USD, we’ll send you two payments: one for the limit of $3,000 USD and another for the remainder of $2,000 USD. If you’re sent multiple Western Union payments, you’ll see multiple ‘Payment issued’ lines on your Payment history page, each with the corresponding MTCN associated with it. Depending on your local Western Union agent, you may need to pick up multiple payments on subsequent days. We recommend consulting your local Western Union agent for further details.

So Google Adsense publisher like LiewCF who ‘used to exceed’ the maximum limit, this is a great relief. No more DHL couried cheque cost $24.

Monetizing undeveloped domain with Adsense

There is almost no limitation of creativity when it come to opportunity to generate money online, especially if they’re ‘BIGGER’ than anybody else.

At the end of 3rd quarter of 2008, there are 174 millions domains on the net. Of this number, 11.5 millions new domains registered for that quarter alone. Not all domains registered for setting up website purpose, big chunk of it kept for investment purpose or hold it just for future planning.

Good news to those that have lots of undeveloped domains, Google is now allowing such domains to display Adsense ads. So instead of 404 page or page not found message, there will be Adsense ads over there.

To check whether AdSense for domains has been enabled for your account, log in and visit your AdSense Setup tab.

But typical Google is, this is only rolled out to English-language publisher in North America at the moment. For publisher across other regions, you have to wait a little bit longer.

Google retiring Adsense Referral ads

Beginning last week of August, Google will be retiring the AdSense Referrals program. If you are still running those ads on your website, you should start removing/replacing the ads code and download the report to your desktop.

By that time, the code will no longer work and leave a blank space in your website. Google is suggesting these alternatives, but the 2nd point makes more sense for current Adsense publisher.

  • Google Adsense for content ad - This is the common Adsense ads. Do NOT put more ads, If you have reached the maximum numbers of ads allowed (3 ads per page).
  • Google Referral Networks - This is the new ads network from Google and the obvious reason why Google is retiring Adsense Referral ads.

Google has acquired the DoubleClick Performics Affiliate operations in March 2008. Together, they’re creating new opportunities for monetization, expansion, and innovation in affiliate marketing.

Performics was founded as the first full-service affiliate network in 1998 and was acquired by DoubleClick in 2004. Today, Performics Affiliate operates as Google Affiliate Network and remains committed to delivering affiliate channel growth for advertisers and publishers.

Personally, Google’s decision is not really impacting me, since I only earn a few bucks ever since I put up their referral code. It’s there since I can’t put more Adsense’s content ads on the page.

I’m gonna register and play around with Google Affiliate Network to see what it is offering. The reminder shows up on the Adsense Setup page as well, to remind your for the same thing.

google adsense ads disappear?

I first read about Google Adsense ads disappear from SEORoundtable, which has linked in few resources from webmasterworld, DigitalPoint and Google Group discussions thread here ,here ,and here .Fortunately, none (at least now) of my websites having such issues.

There are various behavior of the Google Adsense ads disappear issue reported on the forum

It just shows blank…..no public service ads…..no commercial ads…nothing

Now it hasn’t stopped altogether, but every ten minutes or so, ads within the entire domain disappear. One block of ad links may appear, but the skyscraper and 460 wide blocks are gone. Then they come back for 10 minutes or so and then disappear again

I had the same phenomenon. Ads quit displaying in FireFox — for only one site! — but were displaying in IE. It happened sporadically

One more thing that I have noticed that on my home page the standard image banner 468X60 on top displays public service ads about 80% of the time!

Google sent a message yesterday that I had 60 days to give some secret code to get my $10. I replied that I don’t have the secret code. Today all my ads have disappeared, with public service ads instead.

Before you check your adsense ads on your website,

1. make sure that you have verified your account with the PIN # you received once your account reach $10 limit and accepting new terms and conditions .

2. Your website banned by Google Adsense. Check your mailbox if you ever receive any email from them. Sometime they’ll just ban the website due to the content itself, and not your account entirely

Ok, after you have ruled out 2 possibilities above, and if your adsense ads still disappear, contact their support

Google adsense sticker, what for??

I think I’m late. But I hope to get 1 or 2 too. It reminds me the times when I was teenager, I used to change my Honda EX5 sticker with custom made sticker designed by sticker shop at my hometown. But EX5 doesn’t have nice looking sticker compared to what scooter has. I put a lot of stickers on the front mudguard (Is this the correct phrase, white color one, err I forgot the name), from sports apparel brand, motoring spare part brand, and the most recognized sticker at that time for EX5, of course the big ‘Honda’ sticker.

Before I deviate too far, how to get this sticker?

So how do you get one of these glue-backed masterpieces? Easy: send us a self-addressed, stamped envelope with enough postage to return 1 oz of sticker goodness to you from our office in California via standard U.S. mail. (Sorry, we can’t help you calculate the postage to your location). Send your envelope, along with a note if you’d like, to:

Google AdSense
c/o Arlene Lee

Where do I want to stick it? At the rear of my car??? Erm, not good, looks funny though. My company notebook maybe the best place. At least I can show it off to my manager and peers that I’m a proud Adsense publisher and I earn income from them (sounds so arrogant, hope they know what is Adsense).

But I have no idea how much is the postal fee to US. Hope it’s not expensive!! Have you got one?

p/s: I feel like this post shouldn’t be posted
