AdSense Support sent this email through earlier today.

It appears that the November payment you recently received was calculated using an inverted exchange rate. We’d like to let you know that you’ll be receiving an additional payment using the correct exchange rate to make up the difference. This payment will be issued to your bank account this week and we expect that you’ll receive it by Monday, January 7, 2008 if not sooner.

I live in the UK and my November payment shows the correct exchange rate.

Ah, thanks for that tip. I wondered why my payment was lower than AU$100; didn’t seem to make sense that it could be less than the monthly minimum in US dollar terms.

When you complain, you need to request the difference paid with “good value” This is a financial term with banks etc, basically your asking for the difference to be corrected plus interest for the period it takes to correct the problem. They are actually from what i understand legally expected to do this, or at least in good faith.

It does not make much difference for me as im only down 4 or 5 k as a result of the mistake, but for the big earners it will no doubt hurt to not have it in their account.

I am in New Zealand and have also had the wrong rate applied. This was my first google payment so I was very upset to start with until I searched and found others have had the same thing happen and it has never happened before. Don’t feel so bad now and am sure it will get sorted.

Actually, let me revise that comment. I double-checked and it appears that I was paid an equal amount in Cdn$ as my earnings in US$. Now, the Cdn$ has been very close to par with the US$ (i.e., dropped from its highs of earlier in 2007). So I don’t know how they applied the rate.

I’m pretty sure that this happened to me here, too, in Canada, but I actually came out ahead a few dollars. (It’s hard to say for sure, with the Canadian dollar fluctuating close to par with the US $)

What makes you assume that? They send that email back whatever you write to them :)

It’s not a display issue. The wrong amount just arrived into my account.
I guess we’ll all be reimbursed, and at the rate Google goes that shouldn’t take too many months!
What a pain in the bum!
This was my first half decent payment but Google is going to keep half.

I didnt get any problem with adsense check. I live in india and 1USD is approx 39.5 INR. I got the checks properly. One thing i want to mention is that i have not registered for express pay option but still i will get the check in the first week of every month. I think for indian publishers there is no requirement to opt for express pay option.

Email back from Adsense:
“We appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. I’m currently working with the payments team as quickly as I can to investigate your concern and I’ll be sure to send you another email as soon as I have any more information.”

So I assume it’s going to get sorted out…

So, what was the rootcause of their problem, human error, machine error or both? I suppose they need to explain to the public, and maybe include their permanent countermeasure to avoid re-occurence. Just a thought…

Well it is quite strange that even Google makes mistakes. Hope they will correct this and in time too.

Just FYI Darren the stuff up must be across the board if it effected small amounts like US$103.06 as well as huge amounts like yours and medium sized amounts like mine

I just checked my Google November payout which was in the low $XXXX this month and it was calculated by @ the Exchange Rate 0.867:1 so it’s several $100 less than it should be
