My Adsense Payment was on HOLD.

[expl0it8z]

Hello warriors,

i just checked my adsense acct and my payment was on hold. My previous months payments was ok. but my last months earning was on hold. whats the reason?

We don't have access to your account.

If your payments are being held, you will see a box labeled Required Actions at the top of your Payment History page. Clicking on any links in this box will direct you to the action you need to take to resolve the issue and be eligible for payment.

Once you've completed all required actions, these holds will be automatically removed. Keep in mind that you'll need to submit all payment information by the 15th of any month in order to be eligible for that month's payment cycle.

Did you yourself put a hold on earnings by mistake?

nope. i didnt do anything. my previous payments was ok, just my last month earnings was on hold.

Yep. I have. You probably just need to confirm a 4 digit PIN they send in the mail. There should be a "more details" button in your dashboard that will tell you what's up.

If you're sure you didn't do anything wrong, contact Google Team and ask them for help.

[owenlee]

the only way is to contact them and ask politely...listen to what they say first before trying to question them..they are your boss!..hehe

[Frank Ayres]

why are you asking us when the only people that would know are Google.

Why not ask them!

I guess your site needs now to pass manual review by Google Adsense team before your payments will be released

Click the more details link.

Your Payments are currently on hold. Action is required to release payment. More details.

Now if that links does nothing. Here's the bad part.

You are in serious trouble. Can't say for sure, but that's a clear sign the
account is headed to the dumpster.

If that was valid data above, It's hard not to judge going from $25 to $300 a day.

Just brace yourself for the following email:

I also think that your account is now on their manual review approval system.Two other possible can be may be you have hold your account manually and another would be you are from USA then you need to fulfill a tax form.

He's gotten paid before. Those are needed for any payment. The guy is
most likely heading for a ban. They don't do manual reviews for the most
part. They just let the algo do it and send the email. All automatically.

A tip off is the link as I pointed out. This will have the info. If the link
is dead, so is the account. If it was any review, the link would have info.

OMG - An impending ban? Will Google take further actions besides banning his account? Just hope not..

They won't take further actions because they do reviews before paying out.
That's why most times your earnings at the end of the month go down a little
when "finalized." Also why they pay almost a month later. They're not fools.

I suppose if you had a million dollar payout, then found out you were using
click fraud, they would sue you. But that million dollar account would most
likely be under different rules to begin with.

It also just occurred to me that if you were doing $300+ a day,
and yesterday was $100, and today is at $19, I'd say google
has probably suspended some of your sites.
