Tax information entry threshold

Depending on your location, you may be required to provide certain information for tax purposes. If you are required to submit tax information, you will be able to do so when you first log in to your account.

To learn whether you need to provide tax information and, if necessary, how to submit it:

Sign in to your account.
From the gear icon menu on the upper right corner of your account, choose "Payments"
On the left sidebar menu, select Payee profile page.
On the next screen, in the 'tax information' section, click 'Update tax information'.
If you're required to enter tax information, you'll see a tax wizard prompting you to enter your information.

Address verification threshold

To verify the accuracy of your account information, we will mail a personal identification number (PIN) to your payment address when your earnings reach the verification threshold. You'll then be required to enter this PIN in your account. Learn more about address verification.

For more information, please visit the payments guide.

Payment method selection threshold

According to our Terms and Conditions, active accounts need to reach the payment threshold in order to qualify for a payment. Since we don't ever issue payments for less than this threshold, we don't allow publishers to select a form of payment until their earnings have reached this amount.

For more information, please visit the payments guide.

Cancellation threshold

If you decide to cancel your account and your account balance is greater than the cancellation threshold, you'll receive your final payment within approximately 90 days of the end of the month, provided that you've completed the necessary steps to get paid.

Previously, only Cheque (issued by Citibank) payment method was available to those publishers who receive payments at a payment address in India.

AdSense mobile Page-level ads now available to all publishers

Google has rolled out two new ad types for mobile AdSense publishers. Grouped under what Google calls Page-level ads, Anchor and Vignette ads are now available to all publishers. To get these going, publishers place one piece of code on all the pages that will display ads. The first version of AdSense Anchor ads — also called overlays ads — launched in 2013, though they have evolved quite a bit from that first version. The ads are anchored to the edge of the user’s screen, but they can be dismissed. Vignette ads, like intersitials, are full-screen ads. Unlike traditional interstitial ads, though, Vignettes display when a user leaves rather than arrives on a page. These ads will only show a limited number of times per user. Ads in both formats will not count toward the three-ads-per-page limit and will only serve on mobile-optimized web pages displaying on smartphones. Google says Anchor and Vignette ads are just the first of many Page-level ad formats to come. For more detai...
