Adsense users you have snail mail!

January 31, 2008 |

And expect a phone call? Google Adsense now requires phone verification and users must enter a pin number sent to them by good old fashioned snail mail. I just got off the phone with who I can only assume was Mrs. Google and she sounded quite pleased to hear the beeps of my dialing pad when I entered my verification number. Now all that is left is to wait for the pin number to come in the mail. It kind of makes me wonder what’s next, but as long as this gets my payments off of hold, I’m not one to complain.

This is said to be another way that Google can improve service and support for Adsense users. I also read recently that a domain must now be over 5 days old before it qualifies to make money from Adsense. This is Google’s attempt to weed out those who register domains for a five day grace period (offered by some registrars) to test out how profitable the domain can be and then dumping it if they don’t make enough. Read more about it in Bob Ritchie’s post about domain tasting.
