Getting Paid Through AdSense Program

Once you have setup your AdSense account, updated your website with

AdSense code, applied tips etc , you would surely be looking forward to earning

some revenue from the AdSense Ads. Though revenue will start accruing to your

AdSense ac count almost immediately, the actual payments to you are based on

certain rules that Google has laid out for all website ow ners that have an

AdSense account.

1. T he firs t and the most important rule is that G oogle will make a payment to

you only when your account balance is $100 or more. Als o, these

payments are made by Google within 30 days of the last day of calendar

month during which you attain an account balance of $100 or more. If your

account balance is less than $100 on the last day of the month, the

balance just rolls over to the next month and this continues till you actually

have at leas t $100 in your acc ount. You can easily check your acc ount

balance by logging-in into your AdSense account.



2. O bviously, G oogle will only be able to pay you only if you provide them

with the information that is required for payments. This includes the Payee

information and contact details that you specified at the time of signing-up

for an AdSens e account. Though you can edit most of this information,

country and Payee name cannot be changed at this stage (i.e. after the

account has been approved by Google). If you need to get these changed,

you will have to close your AdSense account and open a new one.



3. You will also need to submit your tax information using the T ax information

link on the My Account tab. T his inform ation is required irrespec tive of

your location and, in any case, Google would not process your payment

without the tax information.


4. You als o need to specify the mode of payment. This can be done through

the ‘Payment Information’ link on the ‘My Account’ tab. Just check the

options available for your location and c hoose the one that best suits you.



5. As soon as your AdSense account balance reaches $50, Google will mail

(snail mail) a PIN number to your payment address. You w ill need to enter

this PIN into your account before you can become eligible for payments

from Google.
