Anybody can setup new adsense account in no time and start showing ads, but the problem starts when verifying your account. You can show ads, accumulate earnings but really there is no point earning adsense income without fully verifying your account, only then the payments will be released.
Your payments will be put on hold, unless you complete the 2 verification tasks below and the difficult part is receiving adsense PIN mailer by post …
1. Adsense PIN
First your account must accumulate $10 or €10, only then PIN will be auto generated and sent to you. You have to verify enter Adsense PIN from the letter you received by post. Adsense sends it to you by regular postal mail and it may take 1-2 months to reach you. Sometimes it may not even reach you afterall and it has high changes of getting lost because it is lightweight and looks like postcard. That is when the nightmare starts for many people and you may as well may not qualify for adsense account.
Here is how the Google Adsense PIN mailer (4×6 inches), front and back looks like
Back, there will be just google logo.
The letter inside looks like this..
You can also see this in adsense website
You will have 3 chances to request PIN once in a month and 6 months overall to verify your PIN. If you dont enter correct PIN within 6 months, your adsense payments will be forfeited and will be paid back to publishers and google will show public service ads. So make sure you provide full valid address to your adsense account.
2. Bank Account Verification
You have to enter your bank account information for electronic withdrawals, if you are living in a country where google adsense supports electronic withdrawals. Just like paypal, you will see 2 small deposits appear in your bank account, which you will need to enter and verify. To get your first payment, your adsense account, the minimum payout is EUR 70 / USD 100. Please carefully read the Google Adsense Payments
Nowdays, it is very difficult to receive help by email from adsense, except auto responses and sometimes if you are lucky you can get help, if you post your question in adsense help forum
Keep in mind that, without fully verifying your adsense account, i wouldnt recommend running your ad campaign. Because if you cant verify your account, all the hard earned money would go in vain.
