23. The “PIN” to getting paid by Google Adsense


Wendy of EMomsatMom Blog made this great tip about grabbing your PIN to get paid your first Google Adsense check.

My experience was somewhat similar:

1. I reached the $100 marked this past Fall, and didn’t get my coveted check via postal mail that particular month.

2. Google sent some notices via email saying they’d turn my adsense ads to PSAs if I didn’t do something. I ignored at least a couple of the emails.

3. At least 1-2 months past, and I wanted my check. I logged into My Account, watched my stats, but never noticed the big yellow box alerting me to do the “Required Actions” to get paid…which was to login my PIN. So, I requested another PIN.

4. Then, I guess I requested another PIN, there’s a maximum 2 requests.

5. Finally a final alert said they’d turn my ads to PSAs, so I got serious. No more waiting; I emailed customer service, they asked me so security issues, and viola–I got my 3rd PIN.

They said they sent the PIN-postcard many months ago…I did remember once seeing a pretty Google postcard but scrapped it as junkmail. I apologized and promised to keep my eye-out.

Don’t be too anxious they shared as it’ll take 2-3 weeks.

I impatiently waited and finally did received my PIN postcard. Then, the waiting began again…for the month to turn around to get an updated payment amount–now, that’s worth the wait.

When I finally got the check–it was worth framing!
