I got a real live honest to gosh payment from Google AdSense this past weekend -- my first one ever, and I've been here since 2011. Wonder of wonders.
The HP Ad Program has been my main earnin' jam for the past few years so I honestly had stopped paying attention to my AdSense totals altogether -- because, as I've been so fond of saying, "glaciers move faster." So this was a pleasant surprise from a gracious nowhere.
Better late than never, eh? Hopefully it'll take less than seven and a half years to make the next one, haha!
Great news. Splash out on a new CD, vinyl, shirt, day out.....on second thoughts..... day in with a beer!!!
Global warming. It causes glaciers to melt faster.
Congrats
Congrats! I also received my first within the past month.
A tip for anyone making an AdSense account: make sure your full name (especially your middle) appears exactly as it is on your social security card. Makes verification much easier when you finally hit payout. AdSense doesn't have a great support team (there's really only forums to consult, not an email to contact), so navigating any issues can be tricky.
I'm off from work tomorrow and the next day so this is entirely within the realm of possibility.
Amazing! Congrats! My own glacier is still far, far away from reaching payout - at one to two cents a day with maybe a day or two a month maybe as high as $.50 if I manage my first check in only 7 years it will be a miracle. Don't spend it all in one place!
It used to be that way for me for a long time, but now I'm getting about 6 payouts yearly because I have a lot of articles for a topic that advertisers want to compete to put their ads on.
Great news, the glacier has moved. Payouts from Google take longer because their minimum is 100.
That's wonderful! Congratulations!
I'm still putting ideas together for articles and working up my nerve...at this rate, I'll be retired before I ever get anything going.

Since I've been on hubpages and doing various research on movies that are fixing to come out and such, I noticed something highly strange that I never thought of before until now. Online, I notice all these users on imdb, yahoo, superherohype and all these other sites that I get resources...

I unpublished two hubs a couple weeks ago I believe. Both had hub scores in the mid 80's. Those two unpublished hubs now have hub scores of 69 and 70. I'll leave it to others to speculate as to why. I just thought I'd give a heads up as to what happens when one does that. Too many variables for me...
