I had also problems with late payment. Direct deposit works faster. I think December checks may be late due to Christmas mail activity.

Its me again.
I got the answer from google people.
Basically the datas will be larger when you view the report by Channels since it includes some impressions and clicks tracked both on a URL and a Custom Channel. For instance, impressions and clicks on a URL channel for domain.com/site would also be tracked on a URL channel for domain.com.

One question!!!

I was checking my report.
When I check by channels then the total amount comes different.
What I mean is that the aggregate total is usually lsee than the all the channels combined.
Has this happened to anyone?
Thanks.

I suspect the delays are likely more related to more intensive security screening of mail entering and leaving the U.S. Yes, they do that now. They even open some people’s mail.

After I got my first check I switched to direct deposit and haven’t looked back. My money is always there. If it’s available for your country, it definitely cuts down on the waiting.

Something else I often consider in January is that it IS the month when everyone has to get out all the paperwork relating to Uncle Sam.

1099’s may be causing a bit of a monkey wrench in an otherwise successful process.

Just a thought.

Well, we’re still waiting. We have switched to express payment, and we’re working on getting direct deposit sorted out. Can’t wait for that to happen :)

I think we’ll hold off another week or so before requesting a new cheque. Or at least until we get all the direct deposit stuff sorted!

[...] The best way to deal with the taxes due on your earnings is to put aside a portion of those earnings each time you receive a payment. If you haven’t done so, though, you should put aside the payment you just received and the next one — the last two you’ll get before taxes are due. (Unless, apparently, you’re Darren Rowse.) [...]

how about asking google to have it TT into our citibank account? citibank is a big international bank. Why don’t we start something here? like a request letter?

I got it y’day it was for Dec-05 :) However, 4 months back my payment was delayed by almost 7-8 days so I emailed google they replied me to wait till 25th of same month. Luckily, few days later my cheque arrived. Six months before I use to get cheque in US dollars (which use to take 3-4 weeks before money get into my account) but now it is issued in local currency and it get cleared in one day :)

Maybe they were feeling guity because my December payment (albeit oin direct payment) arrived at the end of January – I wasn’t expecting it until the first week in Feb.

I used to had missing and late payment issues with Adsense and then I switched to the Express Delivery option. Though it costs me $25 per delivery, I get the cheques through courier now, always on time.

yeah maybe it’s still on the way but many are already getting their next cheques.

It’s not go anything to do with the YPN switch – we were still way over the $100 mark for AdSense.

Anyway – it’s not a biggie – i’m sure they’ll reissue me one and it will work out fine.

Got mine via DHL last January 30 here in the Philippines. Maybe it has got something to do with you guys just switching back from YPN to AdSense a couple weeks back? That means you might have dropped off from the UPS club. Just a thought.

check never arrive? seems like Darren has push the panic button. Makes me wonder what would happen to all these pro-bloggers if google suffer the same fate like Enron. A sudden exist.

better make it a direct transfer to be safe.

Hey Darren,

My November earnings didn’t arrive here in Brisbane until January 27 which is the latest it has ever been. So it might not be missing just very very late.

On this topic, I’m about to start a thread at most webmaster forums for Aussie publishers to contact Google’s feedback department requesting direct deposits from Google on mass even if they’ve done it before just so Google know it’s something we want.

As I understand it, these cheques at the moment are being printed in the USA and then sent from Sweden which is ridiculous. Considering Google now has two offices here in Australia and staff pushing 200 I think it is about time they sort themselves out with a more modern payment method for AU based publishers like they have for other countries.

aaah – that’s it then Eric….need to get my earnings up…hehe

Wow your November payment is late.

Of course, why didn’t I think of this before: Darren, you just have to wait until your earnings total more than $100 before you get paid.
