Google Adsense publishers in five more countries will now be able to receive their earnings via Western Union, as Google expanded the service to include more countries.
Effective this month, Adsense publishers in Bulgaria, Egypt, Lithuania, Morocco, and Taiwan can now use Western Union to encash their earnings from Google Adsense, on top of other payment options such as checks or bank deposit.
Got my Google Adsense earnings via Western Union last week and like what we reported here last month, they are now charging the Documentary Stamps Tax on all incoming remittances.
The deduction was exactly 0.15% of my payment balance. It’s still not that much — just P1.50 for every P1,000 — but it’s still money I could have spent for myself.
What do you do if you received an email from Google Adsense telling you that your site violated Adsense policies and that your account may be disabled in the future?
That’s exactly the email I got from them last week so you can imagine my panic at the thought of losing an income source.
Adsense’s email states:
And now, the end is really here.
Back in January, Google announced that its Adsense Referrals program will be retired in all regions except North America, Latin America, and Japan. Two weeks later, it backtracked and offered the program again although with new conditions.
Google Adsense recently announced that publishers in Hungary and Hong Kong are now able to receive their Adsense earnings via Electronic Fund Transfer or EFT. Through EFT, earnings are deposited directly to the publisher’s bank account in his country. Payments are made in the local currency and converted using the exchange rate at the time of the payment.
EFT definitely saves one’s time especially if the publisher’s current mode of payment is checks, which arrive several weeks later. In the Philippines, publishers can be paid via Western Union but the hassle of visiting a WU branch will be gone if EFT is to be implemented.
If you are a Google Adsense publisher, you probably have already received Google’s email about Third Party Ads:
We’re happy to announce that the Google content network now
accepts display ads served from qualified third-party vendors.
During this initial release, only ads in English are eligible,
although we look forward to offering more options in the future.By accepting third-party ads, we can attract a greater variety of
advertising on the Google content network, which we believe will
result over time in increased revenue for publishers and more
relevant advertising for end users.
What this means is that Google has opened its content network and can now accept ads from qualified third party vendors. Some of the identified third party tracking vendors include DoubleClick DFA, Mediaplex/ValueClick, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, Interpolls, Pointroll, Unicast, Dynamic Logic/Safecount, Factor TG, IAG, and InsightExpress.
Many large, top-brand advertisers use third parties to create and manage their ad campaigns. By accepting ads from these third parties, the Google ad inventory is expected to increase — ultimately translating to more ad earnings for Adsense publishers.
Are site traffic and pageviews directly related to income?
The formula, they say, to successfully make money from a website or blog is Quality Content + Traffic.
A lot of “make money online” experts — the true gurus and fakes alike — claim that fresh, unique, and high-quality content translates to traffic and traffic ultimately equals online income. By now, it probably is an accepted fact that a website with more visitors will earn more than another site with fewer visitors.
But how related exactly are site traffic and pageviews to the advertising income of a site?
And the page impressions and clicks statistics don’t seem to be updated?
Earlier today, PMT Forum member geeks noted the same thing. He wondered: Mukhang may problema sa adsense ngayon, hindi naga-update impresions ko. (Adsense seems to have a problem, my page impressions stats don’t appear to be updated.)
Don’t fret. Apparently, Google Adsense is aware that there is a problem.
